National Bureau of Statistics: Promote the accelerating "explicitization" of data elements to empower high-quality economic and social development.

On the afternoon of May 26, Liu Liehong, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, presided over a symposium to solicit opinions and suggestions on fostering a national integrated data market. The meeting emphasized the need to fully implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, vigorously promote the marketization and value-added utilization of data elements, and accelerate the "explicitization" of the value of data elements. Marketization is a means, and value creation is the goal. It is necessary to actively promote the development and utilization of public data, continue to focus on digital government construction and economic and social development, and actively promote business innovation using data. The value of data elements should be reflected in reducing costs and increasing efficiency in enterprises, fostering new productive forces, and enabling high-quality economic and social development.

Shen Zhulin, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, attended the meeting. The meeting emphasized that the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Party clearly put forward the strategic task of fostering a national integrated data market, providing a fundamental follow-up for the development of data undertakings and indicating the direction forward. The National Bureau of Statistics is currently researching and formulating policy documents for fostering a national integrated data market, combining the new characteristics of data market development to cultivate the data market ecology, and gathering forces from all sides to accelerate the construction of the data market. The meeting proposed to thoroughly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, vigorously promote the marketization and value-added utilization of data elements, and accelerate the "explicitization" of the value of data elements. Marketization is a means, and value creation is the goal. It is necessary to actively promote the development and utilization of public data, continue to focus on digital government construction and economic and social development, and actively promote business innovation using data. The value of data elements should be reflected in reducing costs and increasing efficiency in enterprises, fostering new productive forces, and enabling high-quality economic and social development. The meeting believed that currently, data market construction is still in its initial stage, and it requires joint efforts from all parties to strengthen the analysis and insight of the new situation and trends in the data market, promote the high-level development and utilization of data elements with greater strength, continually explore new models and paths to release the value of data elements, and jointly promote the construction of the national integrated data market.
