Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to study the spread of digital technologies in the economy of the Russian Federation, as one of the priority national development goals. The digital economy is considered not as a separate industry, but as the basis for creating qualitatively new models of business, trade, production, education, and public administration. The digital economy in the future will form a new paradigm for the development of the state, the economy and the entire society. At present, when digital technologies are actively entering almost all spheres of human life, the active use of digital technologies has become one of the priority measures in the process of equal access of the population and business to various means and a tool for increasing the competitive advantages of enterprises. With the use of digital technologies, everyday human life, industrial relations, the structure of the economy and education are changing, as well as new requirements for communications, computing power, information systems and services are emerging. The article also analyzes the digital economy of Russia in the context of the digitalization of the world economy. Close attention is paid to the analysis of the world economy in the context of digital transformation and its impact on the Russian economy. The goal is to analyze the Russian economy as part of the global digital economy. Today, the country is faced with the need for rapid decision-making for the implementation of state tasks in various sectors of the economy. This was influenced by the accelerated development of digital technologies, the COVID-19 pandemic, the decline in foreign direct investment and income of the population, the increased threat to food security, the transition to the online format of international scientific conferences, the aggravation of international relations and the increased risk of conducting sanctions measures. The article concludes that the digital economy is one of the tools for economic growth, increasing labor productivity, changing the labor market, and the emergence of new professions.
