Statistical Yearbook of the Czech Republic

    The classifications make it possible to correctly classify observed phenomena and processes and ensure that these are comparable in terms of space and time. During the 1990s the CZSO developed a new system of economic, social, geographic, and other classifications, which stem from valid international standards (of the UN and the EU in particular). The new classification system corresponds with the economic and social environment and the international integration of the Czech Republic (CR). At present, the CZSO and the departmental units of the Czech State Statistical Service use the following statistical classifications and nomenclatures:
