Preface

Economic globalization is characterized by innovative global business arrangements and growing interdependence of economies. This raises severe challenges to statisticians in measuring and describing national, regional and global economic development. Multinational enterprise groups’ (MNEs) data are critical for the quality of economic statistics. If those data are missing or not correct, national statistics will not be of sufficient quality to support government or business decision making.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Decent Work and Economic Growth
