Law No. 16/1997 on Statistics and Government Regulation No. 51/1999 on Statistical Administration mandates the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) to carry out its duties and responsibilities as coordinator of statistical activities in Indonesia. In carrying out these tasks, BPS performs the functions of Coordination, Integration, Standardization, and Synchronization. Thus, BPS should be able to become a reference for the implementation of statistical activities.
