At this juncture, I would like to commend the Census Commissioner and the leadership of the NBS for adopting digital technology in the form of electronic data collection through Computer Assisted Personal  1/3  BIS - Central bankers' speeches  Interview (CAPI) using tablets, to carry out the first-ever digital population and housing census in Seychelles.
This is in line with the 7th Statistical Commission recommendation for a transition from manual to digital systems and use of improved methods and new technologies to increase the reliability and accessibility of census products and other statistics in a timely manner.
