THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF REGIONS

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that this year Presidential Decree No. 309 «On National Development Goals of the Russian Federation until 2030 and for the future until 2036» was adopted. In this document, it is the digital transformation of public and municipal administration, the economy and the social sphere that has been enshrined among the national development goals. The main purpose of the study is to determine the essence, goals and objectives of the digital transformation of public administration and to reveal the legal regulation of the implementation of digital transformation strategies. The problem of the study is the discrepancy between the key industries recommended for inclusion in digital transformation strategies and the actual industries included in these strategies, as well as the uneven distribution of ongoing projects by industry. The methods of scientific research were used in the work: induction, deduction, comparative analysis, synthesis, analysis of the regulatoryframework. Conclusions:The implementation of digital transformation projects by regions, outside the industries recommended by the Ministry of Finance of Russia, may be due to priority sectors of socio-economic development. One of the factors influencing the composition of industries and the number of digital transformation projects in the regions may be the level of digital development of the regions. The region’s implementation of digital transformation projects in a specific industry contributes to the development of this industry.
