    Abstract

    Once upon a time, official economic statistics were largely the work implements of economists, econometricians and government officials. Today they are first and foremost fodder for the financial markets, that is, for mass consumption: they move prices and have the same if not an even bigger market impact as corporate information releases. As a consequence, this commentary by Alberto Giovannini argues that there should be a regime that constrains public sector data releases and subjects them to the highest standards, with the explicit view of protecting investors and market integrity.
