The DBM, under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., endeavors to take a giant leap towards a digitally transformed Philippines. One of its key transformational reforms, aligned with the President’s Bagong Pilipinas vision, is the implementation of digitalization throughout the Public Financial Management process, which aims to improve efficiency, accountability, and transparency in public fund use.
The DBM has also crafted a 2022-2026 Digital Transformation Roadmap to foster long-term growth by promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability throughout the bureaucracy.
Among the ongoing revolutionary digitalization projects of the DBM are the Robotics Process Automation, Application Programming Interface, and the Budget & Treasury Management System (BTMS) which are the core components of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS).
