Three challenges in the area of statistical analysis and interpretation of those: 1)what steps do the official data agencies need to take to ensure that data are comprehensive, consistent and timely? 2) It is important that the various indices such as WPI or IIP, which attempt to capture the underlying developments in the economy, are refined and updated on a continuous basis to provide timely information to the policymakers. 3)help manage expectations and perceptions better by focussing attention on data standards as well as improving the quality of our statistics education.
