Gov't presents digitization program

Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announed at a conference on Monday a thorough digitization program called "From paper to digital Poland," that will result in higher tax revenues, shrinking the grey economy and increased convenience for citizens. The program stipulates the digitization of key public services, growing number of non-cash transactions and the implementation of the electronic identity (eID) initiative, among others.  "Most of all, it is a change in thinking, a new approach to creating reality around us," Morawiecki said. He stressed that the program will bring tangible benefits for citizens and entrepreneurs: convenience, faster and cheaper processing of bureaucratic matters, increased tax revenues, and reduction of the grey economy. Digitization will enable easier access to public information and will strengthen communication with the administration via the Internet.
