The Central Statistical Office was established in 1952, by the passing of the Statistics Ordinance, Chapter 42, No. 11 of the Revised Ordinance 1952. This Ordinance was later replaced by the Statistics Act, Chapter 19:02 of the Revised Laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago 1982.

The CSO as a Government Department reports to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Planning and Development. Our hours of business are from 8:00am to 4:30pm, Mondays to Fridays (except Trinidad & Tobago public holidays).
