In this regard, a separate Working Group has been set up to support preparation of complex IT packages. Rosstat and BEA agreed Public Disclosure Copy on a special action plan for procurement of large packages to ensure their timely preparation and implementation. Rosstat is developing the draft Statistical Strategy and a five year Plan for the Development of Russian Statistics.
