Myanmar: Statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 3 data products score (scale 0-100)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Myanmar's statistical performance indicators (SPI): Pillar 3 data products score (scale 0-100) fell 7.53 on 2023 (from 77.66 to 70.13).

Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +1.26 and a typical year strayed about 4.1 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 9.49 in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 7.53 in 2024. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures

The data products overall score is a composite score measuring whether the country is able to produce relevant indicators, primarily related to SDGs. The data products (internal process) pillar is segmented by four topics and organized into (i) social, (ii) economic, (iii) environmental, and (iv) institutional dimensions using the typology of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This approach anchors the national statistical system's performance around the essential data required to support the achievement of the 2030 global goals, and enables comparisons across countries so that a global view can be generated while enabling country specific emphasis to reflect the user needs of that country.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
