“We will also look at and approve the national data policy by the end of the year, to ensure the opening of data, transparency, and the trust that people should have in data,” stated the government official, speaking at the joint parliamentary committee on State Reform and Local Authority and the Budget, Finance, and Public Administration, regarding the State Budget for 2026.
Bernardo Correia continued, “A data service for the State must be built on top of digital services to enable the State to be more intelligent.”
He further emphasized the need for the State “to produce better public policies” that are “informed by information and assessed in their impact through the data that the public administration already holds today, albeit fragmented.”
