Abstract

The article is focused on understanding the features of digitalization in the economy of the Middle East countries. Since digitalization has become a global trend, in which countries are being drawn at various speeds and degrees, it is important to understand and systematize the evolution of this process in different regions. In the Middle Eastern digitalization has been embodied in a number of sectors, industries, productions and activities of the region. This process is unfolding based on existing prerequisites – both regional and global. It is becoming increasingly important for the countries of the region, as it can significantly enhance the resilience of their economies to external challenges. The authors concluded that digitalization in the Middle East lags behind developed countries, but at the same time, is going on the same path as at the global level.
