Abstract
In recent years, digital technologies have been widely implemented in public administration, tax and customs system, banking and financial sector, e-commerce, industry and services. The research was conducted based on theoretical, statistical and comparative analysis methods. The results show that digital transformation is increasing economic transparency, reducing transaction costs, accelerating business processes and increasing market competition. Also, the development of electronic payments, e-government services, e-commerce and automation contributes significantly to economic growth. At the same time, there are some obstacles such as lack of infrastructure, low digital literacy, and cyber security issues. In conclusion, it can be said that digital transformation is an important factor of economic modernization of Uzbekistan and will play a decisive role in increasing the competitiveness of the economy in the coming years.
