From the results of the DTI 2021 assessment, a representative of the Ministry of Information and Communications said that the average DTI index of the ministries and provinces is still low, so it is recommended that ministries, branches and localities drastically dedicate resources to digital transformation to achieve digital transformation goals by 2025.

Ministries, sectors and localities are also recommended to closely monitor their digital transformation through the annual DTI assessment to have appropriate promotion solutions, and overcome limitations, without following any trend./.
