"The IBGE has experienced a historical moment in terms of repositioning before the significant changes faced by Brazil, and that might not have taken place if we had not earned the admiration of the Minister of Planning and Budget, Simone Tebet. Above all, the Work Plan for 2025 has the objective of organizing our Institute for the establishment of the National System of Geosciences, Statistics and Data (SINGED), which, undoubtedly, represents a challenge in the construction of official statistics departing from a new perspective that integrates databases and employs artificial intelligence, " remarked the President of the IBGE, Marcio Pochmann.

The President of the Federal Data Processing Service, Alexandre Gonçalves do Amorim, stated that regional SERPRO has been a place to host event, activities aiming at the construction of public policies. "We had the privilege of granting use of our regional office to be the G20 Lounge, now we are receiving BRICS too, and the team that has been striving for the construction of COP30. And now we welcome the IBGE, in this place that has to be used democratically, as it belongs to the government and has to work for the government."

The Work Plan for 2025 was conceived with contributions and based on dialogues with all the directorates and departments of the IBGE, between the months of August and December 2024, in a Commission formed by 22 civil servants, being two from each different area of the Institute, besides representatives of State Superintendencies (SES) and Branches.

"It is very important for us to have the opportunity of knowing in more detail how the IBGE will work in 2025. Having, right in the beginning of the year, the opportunity to talk to you, listen and collaborate even more to such an important institution as SERPRO, is fundamental for all the public policies implemented by Brazil and for Brazilians as well," remarked Marcelo Ribeiro Moreira, Assistant Secretary for Institutional Affairs of the Ministry of Planning and Budget.

The Information Technology Director of the IBGE (DTI), Marcos Mazoni, explained the plan from the perspective of his department and mentioned that “we have brought the IBGE closer to federal public administration each day, competent bodies in the field of technology that can certainly help us with the current challenge of the Census of Agriculture. Together with SERPRO we will have the chance to improve public policies with continuous information."

The Plan directs strategic actions by the IBGE for 2025, and advances in the officialization of the National System of Geosciences, Statistics and Data (SINGED), modernization of structures, preparation for the 12th Census of Agriculture, conduction of the Consumer Expenditure Survey and other releases, also including international activities and meetings between the IBGE and official statistical offices.
