Singapore was among the first group of 34 countries to subscribe to the
IMF's Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) in August 1996. The purpose of the SDDS is to guide member countries in the provision of comprehensive, timely, accessible
and reliable economic and financial statistics to the public.
The SDDS comprises four dimensions, namely, coverage, periodicity and timeliness; access by the public; integrity of the disseminated data; and quality of the disseminated data. For each of these dimensions, the SDDS prescribes two to four good dissemination
practices.
Singapore’s statistical policy for dissemination is in line with these prescriptions. Singapore met all SDDS requirements at the time of its subscription in January 2001.
