The Impact Of The Digital Economy On Global Economic Growth
Abstract
The rapid development of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the structure and dynamics of the global economy. The digital economy, driven by innovations such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and digital platforms, has become a key engine of global economic growth. This paper examines the impact of the digital economy on global economic growth by analyzing its role in increasing productivity, enhancing efficiency, and fostering innovation across various sectors. Digitalization reduces transaction costs, improves access to international markets, and enables new business models that support inclusive and sustainable growth. At the same time, the expansion of the digital economy creates challenges related to digital inequality, labor market transformation, cybersecurity, and regulatory frameworks. The study highlights both the positive contributions and potential risks of digital transformation, emphasizing the need for coordinated policies to maximize economic benefits while minimizing social and economic disparities. The findings suggest that countries investing in digital infrastructure, digital skills, and supportive institutional frameworks are better positioned to achieve long-term economic growth and competitiveness in the global economy.
