The National Statistical Office has been producing the Statistical Yearbook of Mongolia since 1960. The Statistical Yearbook shows social and economic indicators of Mongolia. In correspondence with the development of the socio-economic situation of Mongolia the extent and frame of indicators for the yearbook are expanding.

Since the beginning of the transition to a market economy, the NSO have been gradually introducing international standards and methodology. As a result, the number of indicators, which are in conformity with international standards are increasing.
