In March 1923, a commission called the Commission for Statistics was formed to represent members of each department. The commission is tasked with planning actions to ensure the achievement of unity in statistical activities in Indonesia. On 24 September 1924, the name of the institution was replaced by the name Centraal Kantoor voor de Statistiek (CKS) or the Central Statistics Office and the institution was moved to Jakarta.
