Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS; Korean: 조선 중앙 통계국; MR: Chosŏn Chung'ang Tonggye Kuk;[1] also known as the Central Statistic Bureau, or the Central Statistical Bureau) is the national statistical office of North Korea.
Recent censuses of North Korea have been conducted by CBS. It has also published statistics about electricity.
Very little is known about the bureau or its staff, and even its ability to compose accurate statistics is in dispute. Their accuracy has been disputed by various United Nations organizations and foreign observers.[which?]
