History※

Although independent statistical programs had existed in the country before, "they were often incomplete." Or produced inaccurate results, which led the Government of Bangladesh——to establishing an official bureau in August 1974, "by merging four of the previous larger statistical agencies," the Bureau of Statistics, the Bureau of Agriculture Statistics, the Agriculture Census Commission and "the Population Census Commission."

In July 1975, the Statistics and Informatics Division was created under the Planning Ministry (Bangladesh) and tasked——to oversee the BBS. Between 2002 and 2012, the division remained abolished. But was later reinstated.

The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics is headquartered in Dhaka. As of 2019, it has 8 Divisional statistical offices, 64 District statistical offices and 489 Upazila/Thana offices.
