In the context of globalization of the world economy and the development of modern technologies, the state of Uzbekistan is inconceivable without the development of the digital economy.
A lot of work is being done in our country to develop the digital economy. In particular, the adoption of the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev "On measures to develop the digital economy in Uzbekistan" dated July 3, 2018 No PP-3832 was an important factor in the development of the digital economy. The resolution focused on such important issues as digitization of financial relations, development of blockchain technologies, training of qualified personnel with practical skills in digital technologies and the introduction of innovative ideas for further development of the digital economy.
In order to continue the work on the development of the digital economy, President Sh.M. Mirziyoyev in his address to the Oliy Majlis on January 24, 2020 proposed to name 2020 the "Year of Science, Enlightenment and Development of the Digital Economy."
In order to further develop the digital economy in our country, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev on April 28 this year adopted a resolution "On measures for the widespread introduction of the digital economy and e-government."
As a result of the above measures, e-government, electronic digital signature, international online trading (Zoodmall), the first online cash register in Uzbekistan (Uzkassa), online payment systems (Click, Payme, Humo, Easy, etc.) are elements of the digital economy in our country) was formed. In addition, a fund for the development of the digital economy has been established, and organizational measures related to its activities, in particular, tasks, sources of funding have been identified.
However, these practical and theoretical measures have not been a sufficient basis for the transition to the digital economy and its full formation in our country. In this regard, according to the information given by President Sh.M. Mirziyoyev on February 13, 2020 at the event dedicated to the development of information technology, the share of the digital economy in GDP in the United States is 10.9%, in India - 5.5%. it was noted that the rate should not exceed 2 percent.
The digital economy is an activity associated with the development of digital computer technologies in the provision of online services, electronic payments, e-commerce, online commerce and other areas.
In the next stage of modern development, digital technologies such as Big Data, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, robotics, digital electronic platforms, cloud technology, crowdsourcing, blockchain technology and 3D technology will play a key role.
Many experts believe that the digital economy will bring effective changes in all existing sectors. According to World Bank statistics, the share of the digital economy in GDP in developed countries is 7%. In particular, the United States exports more than $ 400 billion a year in digital services. By 2025, the United States is expected to earn an additional $ 20 trillion from the digitization of industry. This will be achieved through the digitization of the following sectors: consumer goods production of $ 10.3 trillion; the automotive industry $ 3.8 trillion and logistics $ 3.9 trillion.
The digital economy and digital technologies create the basis for the development of any industry, achieving high efficiency and huge opportunities. Therefore, the development of the digital economy in our country will accelerate socio-economic development around the world, increase competitiveness, facilitate the consumption of goods and services for its citizens, and most importantly in almost every sector of the economy new business models, new products, new services and there will be an opportunity to form prices and create new jobs.
The development of the digital economy is aimed to achieve economic growth in the country, reducing the share of the shadow economy, improving the quality of goods and services, reducing costs, increasing competitiveness in international trade, as well as eliminating corruption, achieving high efficiency in all areas, including social. This will lead to positive results, such as improving the quality of education, reducing unemployment among the population and improving living standards.

- formation of the legal basis of the digital economy (development and implementation of legislation and programs related to the digital economy) and material (creation of funds, funds, such as the fund of the digital economy);
