This result places the country among the global leaders in digital governance and validates the modernisation trajectory of the Portuguese public administration, as reported by AICEP.

The index assesses the digital transformation of governments based on criteria such as technological advancements in public policy design, the strategic use of data, and the capacity to deliver integrated, accessible public services.

In the Portuguese case, international recognition focuses particularly on simplifying digital services and on the centrality of citizens and businesses in the development of new solutions.

The OECD also highlights Portugal's effectiveness in using data to improve the quality of public policies and the public sector's capacity for innovation.

This performance consolidates Portugal's image as a technologically advanced and competitive country, acting as a differentiating factor in attracting foreign investment and supporting the internationalisation of national companies.
