The Dutch government's digital maturity has reached 75 percent, up 4 percent points from 2016, according to a briefing by the interior minister to parliament. The indicator rose 17 points from 2014, when the first measurement was conducted on only municipal, provincial and watershed authorities.
The digital maturity measures e-government services, such as online forms and the DigiD. The minister said the latest results show the level of digital services had reached a good level, in line with the government's targets.
The average digital availability was 90 percent in 2017, up from 88 percent the previous year. Local governments rose to 83 percent from 80 percent over the same period, and the national government increased by 1 point, to 97 percent. Major agencies such as the tax service and social security scored 99 percent on availability.
The Dutch government also scores well in international benchmarks for e-government. In the European Commission's Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), the Netherlands ranked fourth in the EU.
