Conclusions
The New Role of INEGI




Mexico is a federal country with a division of
powers: Executive, Legislative and Judicial
INEGI was a federal government office that
belonged to the Executive power
Now INEGI is in transit to be an autonomous
institution, it means that it does not depend
of the Federal Government
In its new role, INEGI has to coordinate the
production, standardization and
disemination of all statistical information of
national interest
The National System of Statistical and
Geographical Information (SNIEG)




Production of statistical and geographical
information of national interest
Dissemination of information
Promotion of knowledge and use of
information
Preservation of information

Geographical Information (SNIEG)

International information exchange


Mexico is collaborating with the Secretary of
Foreign Affairs (SRE) in a program to
establish a unique point for the
dissemination of statistical information at
international level
It implies that all Federal Agencies will have
a new mechanism for the interchange of
statistical and geographical information
Diagnosing the exchange of information
between OECD and Mexico




Mexico has to report statistical information
to OECD
Information is being sent by several Federal
Agencies to offices of the OECD
Only part of the information exchange is
correctly identified
We need to develop new ways of
coordination
Background
Works made in Paris


Building of an information flow matrix

10 working days

34 interviews
Data in the matrix:


Working plan



Integration of information from mexican
agencies that has to be sent to the OECD
Gradual transformation of data files to
SDMX format
In the near future we are planning to
establish web services to automate
information exchange with those agencies
Tasks that remain to be done with
international partners and colleagues




Strong and efficient communication ties
Collaboration groups for the exchange of
experiences
Joint review of processes to speed up the
whole project
Joint work to get the goals done
Conclusions




Mexico is in the way of implementing SDMX as a
tool to improve the internal information
interchange
The international exchange will be strongly
supported by the application of standards like
SDMX
Our efforts are not limited to technological issues,
we need agreements with agencies, working
frameworks, standardized catalogs, common
definitions among other things
We need to create international team to achieve
more challenging goals in a relative short time and
with few resources
Conclusions


SDMX will allow us to fulfill
compromises with international
agencies
But, above all, we pretend to have
an effective way to collect, to
process and to interchange statistical
and geographical information among
all the levels of government: federal,
state and municipal
Thank you…
