Limiting international statistics

Restricting international statistics

Description

Limiting international statistics involves restricting the collection, dissemination, or use of cross-border statistical data to address concerns such as data privacy, national security, or resource constraints. This strategy aims to prevent misuse, misinterpretation, or overexposure of sensitive information, while ensuring compliance with national regulations. Practical actions include setting clear data-sharing protocols, establishing access controls, and prioritizing essential statistics, thereby remedying risks of data breaches, political manipulation, or overwhelming administrative burdens.
