The Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) is the main agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating statistical data in Brazil. Established in 1936, it plays a crucial role in providing information about the country's geography, economy, and population. The IBGE conducts various surveys, including the national census, which occurs every ten years. In addition to demographic data, the IBGE also produces economic indicators, such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and inflation rates. Its work supports government planning and policy-making, helping to inform decisions that affect the lives of millions of Brazilians.
