This paper gives an overview of the efforts at the Department of Statistical Methods of Statistics Netherlands to develop a design based strategy aimed towards full numerical consistency of its statistical estimates, given a matched data file containing all available register and survey data about the target population. The key element of the estimation procedure is repeated re-calibration of survey data sets, i.e. a new set of raising weights is derived each time additional estimates are being produced. This allows us to take account of any related statistics obtained in earlier rounds of estimation.
