Abstract
The article considers digitalization as one of the factors in the development of the economy. To prove this, authors use dynamic series in Kazakhstan with parameters for information and computer technologies (ICT) and GDP itself. Based on these data, a linear model is formed through correlation and regression analysis. The digital economy covers a wide range of aspects, including the development of information and communication technologies, the integration of digital platforms, the automation of production processes and the introduction of innovations in various sectors of the economy. The main trends of digitalization in Kazakhstan and the world, their impact on the competitiveness of enterprises are considered. In parallel, an analysis of foreign experience in the field of economic development is carried out considering the processes of digitalization; the field in which Kazakhstan ranks 36th in the corresponding rating. The actual development of information technology has made it possible to improve many business processes and to create added value in the form of the use of new applications for certain types of activities. UN Sustainable Development Goal 9, “Building Resilient Infrastructure, Promoting Inclusive and Sustainable Industrialization and Innovation,” will further expand access to ICT. In conclusion, the authors gave proposals for the development of the economy of Kazakhstan within the framework of digitalization in general for further economic development.
