OVERVIEW
GovTech activities focused on public finance digitalization have been increasingly pervasive in the IMF’s fiscal capacity development work and accelerated during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. GovTech initiatives can have significant positive impact on public finance and support macroeconomic resilience, by securing government resources, improving the management of public finance, as well as enhancing governance and transparency. Examples include: i) improving fiscal operations for citizen service delivery; ii) strengthening fiscal transparency and accountability; and iii) ensuring sustained revenue mobilization. Guinea Bissau and the Philippines may be presented as case studies.
