 Possibilities for Improvement of the Statistical Confidentiality Methods and ApproachesIkonomiceski i Sotsialni Alternativi, 2016, issue 1, 13-23 Abstract: In the process of the official statistical data provision from the national statistical institutes to their consumers there is always some tension. The ‘producers’ of the statistical ‘products’ aim to provide data with the best quality, considering the legal regulations on the data confidentiality. From other perspective, the statistical data consumers would like to obtain more detailed information about the studied events and phenomenon including microdata about the individual statistical units, which is a precondition for a breach of the data confidentiality. The National statistical institute (NSI) of Bulgaria observes all legal recommendations and regulations and provides high level of protection of the personal information of its respondents while producing high quality data. This paper considers a less discussed theme in Bulgaria on the statistical data confidentiality and delivers a critical review of the present situation in the statistical disclosure control approaches application in the NSI. Detailed description of the possible improvements and cost-effectiveness is also provided.
