The Czech National Bank in its area of competence compiles and publishes statistics, in particular monetary and financial statistics, balance of payments statistics, financial accounts statistics and government finance statistics. The individual statistics are compiled in accordance with international standards and standards of the European Union. The section “Statistics” contains not only the data and their methodology, but also commented publications (e.g. Monetary Statistics, Balance of Payments Reports and Commentary on quarterly financial accounts) and the relevant regulations at both national and European and international level. The EU Treaty requires the European Central Bank, assisted by the national central banks, to collect the statistical information necessary in order to undertake the tasks of the European System of Central Banks. The Treaty requires the countries to make essential statistical preparations upon their joining the EU to be able to contribute to the euro area statistics when they adopt the single currency.

In addition to statistics compiled in its area of competence the CNB publishes also other information relating to its activities, notably the data on inflation. The subsection “Inflation” provides information on inflation measured and released by the CZSO, the inflation target and the inflation forecast published by the CNB and inflation expectations surveyed by the CNB. The CNB has at its disposal a number of systems for data collection (SDNS), processing and dissemination; the most important with respect to publication is ARAD, a unique system of time series of statistical data compiled by the CNB and supplemented with selected data from external sources. The SDDS site contains economic and financial data of the Czech Republic under the International Monetary Fund methodology.
