From October 27 to 29, 2026, a training course on creative economy statistics is being held as part of the visit of Professor Roberta Dell'Anno from the University of Salerno, Italy, to the National Statistical Committee.
The sessions cover the significance of the creative economy in economic development, employment, trade, digitalization, and public policy, as well as the main approaches to its statistical assessment, available data sources, and the alignment of national classifications with international standards.
Participants are exploring the 2025 UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics, the cultural and creative ecosystem, relevant sectors, and value creation models. Additionally, the course addresses the implementation of international classifications in statistical practice and the development of indicators for employment, enterprises, trade, expenditure, education, digital usage, and regional metrics based on Eurostat and ICT indicators.
In practical classes, work is being carried out to identify types of activities related to the creative economy using Uzbekistan as an example, to link cultural spheres with employment calculations, and to convert them into statistical indicators. The training course will serve to increase the potential of specialists, introduce international experience into national practice, and improve statistical observations in the field.
