On 17.03.2021, GOPA Luxembourg successfully held an online training course on National Accounts Statistics for representatives of KPMG Luxembourg.

The training took place in the context of our mutual collaboration for developing the project “National Accounts – the new generation” in STATEC (Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques du Grand-Duché du Luxembourg).

The online course, which was organized and facilitated by our in-house staff, introduced the participants to the key concepts of National Accounts and their crucial role in official statistics, as well as in policy-making decisions.

We are pleased to be contributing to the capacity development of individuals in companies, who want to learn and understand more about National Accounts.

This tailor-made training session can be booked upon demand.

GOPA would like to thank the trainers and all the participants having attended the ESTP training course on ‘Time Series Econometrics’ held in Venice on 11-13 February 2020.

The goal of the course was to provide the participants with basic knowledge of modern time series econometrics, with a focus on univariate and multivariate approaches. The course also covered practical exercises in R.

The training was organised by GOPA, being financed by Eurostat in the frame of the ESTP programme.

We look forward to welcoming you to other ESTP courses organised by GOPA under the ESTP 2020 programme!
