The Intelligence Centre consists of five units, Data Analytics Unit, Digital Economy, Black Economy, Infrastructure Performance and Sustainable Development Goals. Its focus is to support the Policy and National Content centres in their research activities and actively participate in the development of digital economy in the country. This centre will pioneer the use of artificial intelligence and other technologies to advance the BCPNG’s effort to Rescue, Recover and Rebuild the economy in a post-Covid-19 PNG.
The intelligence centre will primarily focus on five main strategic units. These units are important to not only drive forward economic development, but also to enable all businesses, including SMEs and MSMEs in the private sector to carry out their activities and empower inclusive economic participation for a strong, balanced, inclusive, sustainable and innovative economy. These five strategic units are; Data Analytics, Digital Economy, Black Economy, Infrastructure Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In order for the Intelligence Centre to achieve BCPNG’s new theme in 2022; “Advancing Rescue, Recover, Rebuild”, the five focus units will aim to drive forward a positive and secure economic recovery, and a resilient economic growth, as a continuation for BCPNG’s theme in 2021. The main idea is to use AI and modern technologies to advance forward by systematically identifying and addressing pressing issues within each of the five units. This will essentially help eliminate the root problems and constraints faced by PNG, and formulate actionable solutions for the betterment of PNG’s economy.
