Background
Its antecedents lie in the initiatives of president Manuel Bulnes and his minister, Manuel Rengifo, to draw up the second population census and obtain statistical data of the country. By Decree No. 18 March 27, 1843, the Office of Statistics was created, Ministry of the Interior to provide knowledge of the departments and provinces. It put the INE in charge of producing the national population census every 10 years, as required by the Census Act of July 12, 1843.
Law No. 187 of September 17, 1847 established the office as a permanent body of the state. By 1853, it was legally required that each section chief of the ministries collect and submit data to the Bureau of Statistics. Subsequently, and by various legal modifications, it was called Dirección General de Estadísticas (1927–1953), Servicio Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (1953–1960), Dirección de Estadísticas y Censos (1960–1970). It has called by its current name since 1970, and it has been under the Ministry of Economy since 1927.
