The Government designates the Deputy Prime Minister for EU Funds Management as a coordinator for Bulgaria's participation in the OECD Committee on Digital Economy Policy

17 November 2021 Events and Discussions

The government has designated the Deputy Prime Minister for EU Funds Management as the coordinator for Bulgaria's participation in the OECD Committee on Digital Economy Policy and its subsidiary bodies. By the decision of the Council of Ministers, an Interinstitutional Working Group on Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence was established at the Interinstitutional Coordination Mechanism for the Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the OECD.

The digital economy and the development of artificial intelligence are among the main priorities of governments around the world as a way to achieve sustainable economic development in the context of increasing globalization and technological advancement. Taking fast and coordinated steps for Bulgaria's adherence to the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence and for enhancing our participation in the OECD Committee on Digital Economy Policy, will demonstrate our country's strong commitment to digital transformation and will stimulate the strengthening of our institutional and legal framework in this area.

The established Interinstitutional Working Group on Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister for EU Funds Management, will ensure the implementation of an integrated governmental approach in this area.  

Bulgaria's participation in the OECD Committee on Digital Economy Policy, which is a forum for exchange of experience, good practices and development of global standards and policy recommendations, will have a positive effect not only on our application for membership in the OECD, but also in terms of the ability of our economy and society to adapt to the new realities.
