To formulate and put in practice economic policies such as monetary policy, an accurate diagnosis of the economy is crucial. Since its establishment in June 1950, the BOK has compiled and provided basic economic statistics covering the main sectors of the Korean economy as basic data for such diagnoses: money&interest rates, national income, prices, balance of payments, flow of funds, business and consumer surveys, financial statement analysis and input-output tables. In addition to this, since January 2004, the BOK has operated ECOS website as the main method of delivering those statistics to policy makers and the public swiftly and conveniently.
