| The International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union has published postal statistics regularly since its foundation. Starting with the first edition in 1875, these statistics have been amended and improved in order to meet as closely as possible the postal world's expectations and need for information. |
| |
| The aim of Postal statistics, in addition to providing a single source of information on data that has been gathered from all parts of the world, is to serve as an analytical working tool at both the international and national level. With the statistical data provided, it is possible to deduce general trends in postal traffic and the means used to handle this traffic. |
