Speaking at the summit, Deputy Prime Minister Visanu Krua-ngam says a digital government will provide more transparent services. In addition to the establishment of the DGA, there will be an Electronic Government Board that needs to report directly to the prime minister. The DGA will cover the establishment of a government data analytics centre for the management and overseeing data across state agencies. He said DGA will also establish a government data exchange centre to gather data and manage inter-operation among different agencies. DGA will also release the national data set, classified into confidential and open with the latter accessible to the public.
