New Delhi, Oct 6 (NationPress) The government announced on Monday that it will highlight essential statistical indicators, including GDP, CPI, and important labour market metrics, at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2025 -- set to take place in Mumbai from October 7-9.

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) aims to captivate attendees with innovative visuals such as infographics, videos, and interactive displays, designed to communicate the ministry’s initiatives effectively.

“A specially curated stall and events will focus on the changing landscape of official statistics and the potential of fintech companies to address data deficiencies,” the ministry stated.

As fintech is fundamentally driven by data, the ministry is seeking collaboration between industry insights and official statistics.

A panel discussion led by MoSPI alongside distinguished industry figures will examine how extensive surveys conducted by national statistical systems can be enriched by market data, offering deeper insights into consumer behavior, enterprise requirements, and gaps in financial inclusion.

This is a clarion call for fintechs, policymakers, and researchers to develop more resilient models, create inclusive products, and pave the way for evidence-based growth.

The MoSPI Secretary will engage in a fireside chat on October 8.

“When data is regarded as a public good, it has the potential to unlock new economic opportunities and promote inclusive growth. The dialogue will emphasize the importance of collaborative data frameworks in ensuring timely, transparent insights that benefit all stakeholders in a digital economy,” the ministry remarked.

The Secretary will also lead a closed session with fintech industry representatives and regulators focused on statistical infrastructure for a ‘Digital India: Building a Smarter Data Partnership’ with the Fintech Ecosystem.

The ministry underscored that a robust statistical infrastructure is crucial for fostering smarter policies and innovation in the digital economy.

The discussion will address current challenges in real-time data flow, opportunities for establishing trusted data partnerships, and the role of fintechs in enhancing India’s economic mapping and decision-making frameworks.
