The Review of Official Statistics has defined "a portfolio of statistics (to be known as Tier 1) across the state sector that are important in their own right and, consequently, need to be produced, analysed and released to high statistical standards".

Tier 1 statistics are a defined set of key official statistics that are performance measures of New Zealand. Tier 1 statistics:

• are essential to central government decision making
• are of high public interest
• need to meet public expectations of impartiality and high statistical quality
• require long-term continuity of data
• provide international comparability in a global environment or meet international statistical obligations
• align with the Tier 1 statistics principles and protocols.

The above table gives access to more information about the different groups of Tier 1 statistics and their web-based outputs.
