JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara encourages the culture of managing and utilizing data well because all parties now increasingly need data, both for the benefit of the organization and society. Thus, all parties today can not only store a data, but must be managed properly so that it can be used in the end. "It is utilized even up to the next policy formulation. This culture that we want to develop, we want to encourage this culture," said Suahasil at the Leader's Talk 2022 event and the Awarding of Data Culture Awards, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, November 1. If this cannot be encouraged, he assesses that all data in an institution, ministry, and organization can only be owned and useless at all. In the current government, especially the ministry as a whole, it is increasingly aware of the importance of the data it has. Especially during the last two and a half years, when Indonesia was hit by COVID-19. One of the important data that is used properly during the pandemic is health data, including for the distribution of free COVID-19 drug packages from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes). Suahasil admitted that until now there are still many people who tell and remember the moment because they are satisfied with the government's quick response to the data they have. "Everything happens in real time. It can only happen if we appreciate the data," he said. Therefore, he said that community satisfaction is a sign that the government can take care of the community and the country more cleverly. These things are now being built by the government, not only in the health sector, but in the financial sector, banking, and the business world, which are increasingly appreciating the data.
