To transform the Statistical Institute of Catalonia into the hub that centralises all Catalonia's information and to create the chief data officer post according to sectors and local areas

The pandemic has underscored the importance of benefitting from standardised data broken down by regions for swifter, appropriate decision-making, and it has evidenced the current circumstances where data is highly dispersed and scarce in various spheres. In order to centralise and operate efficiently on all of the information currently existing in various ministries of the Government of Catalonia and other public institutions, the Statistical Institute of Catalonia must be granted the powers needed to become the hub that centralises all Catalonia's information. Moreover, to ensure vital information is available in all local areas and on all spheres, it is suggested to create the chief data officer post and to assign this profile specific regions and/or sectors in order to be able to manage the data on a more local level, to monitor this data's quality more effectively and to conduct analyses, studies and visual displays in accordance with specific needs.
