ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIES FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF RUSSIAN REGIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ACHIEVING NATIONAL GOALS

Abstract

The article analyzes the planned estimates of digital maturity indicators from 2022 to 2024 for 82 Russian regions, which are calculated on the basis of regional digital transformation strategies. The indicators are determined by the methodology of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. Based on these indicators, a planned index of digital maturity was determined for five key industries in each of the regions of Russia under consideration: education, healthcare, public administration, public transport and urban economy. It is shown that the expected rate of digital transformation in different industries will vary significantly. In the regions, there have been identified advanced, medium-high, medium-low and lagging regions in the field of digital transformation for the planned period. Based on the results of the study, the authors recommend creating a comprehensive federal program to help increase the digital maturity index in lagging industries, which will solve the problem of digital transformation imbalance and the problem of lagging regions. For three regions from each category ways are proposed for redistributing resources and capacities to increase the rate of digital transformation in lagging industries from the standpoint of balanced digital transformation, taking into account growth dynamics from 2022 to 2024.
