The IMF, by drawing up a form on the dissemination of data in the Report on Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSCs) supplies a valid form of help for the identification of the profiles of quality of the statistics disseminated by the countries.The aim of this study is to propose the quality curves as a graphic summary of the assessments of quality standards made for some countries by a group of experts from the IMF Statistics Department and included in the Summary Presentation of the Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF). These are based on the procedure of Multiple Correspondence Analysis. From the distribution of points (macroeconomics datasets of statistical findings and elements) on the plane of the first two factors, graphs are formed with known functions, whose shape characterises the overall quality of the statistics production system while the observation of the cloud of points allows similarities and dissimilarities between the macroeconomics datasets of statistics and elements points to be identified.
