Centralstatsförvaltningen was a Swedish government agency responsible for central statistical functions. It was established to coordinate and develop national statistics in various fields. The agency played a crucial role in collecting, processing, and disseminating official statistics for Sweden. Its work was vital for informing policy decisions, academic research, and public understanding of societal trends.

The mandate of Centralstatsförvaltningen included ensuring the quality, comparability, and accessibility of statistical data. It worked closely with other government agencies and authorities to collect data and produce comprehensive reports.
