2 Introduction The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was established in 1985 with a broad objective of promoting the welfare of the people of South Asia through regional cooperation. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the founder members of the organization from its establishment. The number of member States reaches to eight when Afghanistan became a member of SAARC in The SAARC Group on Statistics (SAARCSTAT) was formed in 2004 to commence cooperation in the field of statistics among the member states. Four meetings of the heads of SAARC statistical organizations have so far been held in India (26-27 May 2005), Bangladesh (17 April 2008), Bhutan (18-19 November 2010) and Pakistan (24-25 October 2011) respectively with the view of sharing experiences and promoting statistical systems in South Asia. Various decisions and initiatives have been taken in the subsequent meetings to develop common concepts, classifications and standards for the production of comparable statistics and indicators of the region. As per the decision of the fourth meeting of the heads of SAARC statistical organizations, a leaflet "SAARC in Figures" has been initiated to publish by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Nepal. The present issue "SAARC in Figures 2012", a concise leaflet attempts to present statistical facts and figures on various social and economic situations of the member countries under nineteen broad headings. Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Nepal is pleased to bring out this first issue of the "SAARC in Figures" and hopes that the leaflet would be helpful to briefly introduce the region. CBS would like to thank all the National Statistical Offices of the member states and other concerned agencies for supplying information for this issue. Comments and constructive suggestions that would be useful to improve future issues are heartily welcome. 1 Central Bureau of Statistics Kathmandu, Nepal September 2012
