Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Client Story - FIS
Empowering Australia Bureau of Statistics
Calculating gross domestic product (GDP) requires collecting, analyzing and calibrating hundreds, if not thousands, of points of source data. To perform this analysis quickly and precisely, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) relies on FIS® Market Data Analyzer (formerly MarketMap Analytic Platform) to eliminate statistical discrepancies among the three approaches – production, income and expenditure – used to calculate the country’s annual GDP and present the most accurate measurement possible.
