Thanks to a recent paper that I had to write on Greece I managed to collect a broad but very useful selection on public agencies that publish statistics related to the Greek social, economic and political environment.
Greek Data suffer usually from bias and sometimes especially for the years 2004-2007 their validity has been questioned by Eurostat. Hence a user of the statistics should be aware of potential problems that might be caused due to the non-scientific collection of the data from the various statistical bodies in Greece.
Having said that I will offer a list of the useful agencies that i have retrieved, stating the type of statistics each body publishes.
- Ministry of Finance: Financial Data on Public Debt, Budget, Public enterprises (archive from 2001)
