In March 22nd,2018， the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued the general strategy of data and statistics in the digital age.
The key elements of the strategy include integrating fragmented projects, using big data to innovate and make use of AI for data and statistical analysis.
The strategy includes six key tasks: identifying data requirements, establishing a global data sharing network, supporting innovative applications such as large data, realizing seamless link and sharing of IMF internal data, increasing the output of transnational comparable data and resolving official data defects.
To ensure the smooth implementation of the overall strategy, IMF will reform existing data and statistical operation arrangements, and make adjustment and simplification of related institutions.
