Abstract

The effectiveness of the ongoing digital transformations for the country as a whole is largely determined by the results of the development of modern information and communication technologies in individual regions. In 2014, the law determined the need to develop strategies for the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as a result of which all regions developed relevant documents. In 2017, the state program “Development of digital economy technologies in Russia” was approved, which has been transformed since 2019 into the national program “Digital Economy”. This circumstance required updating the socio-economic development strategies developed in the regions. The article analyzes the content of the current strategies of the regions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation in order to determine the level of their compliance with the requirements of the national program “Digital Economy”. The result of the study is the development of recommendations for taking into account aspects of the digital economy in the structure and content of regional development strategies, as well as for developing measures to increase the level of compliance of existing regional strategies with the main provisions of the national program on digital economy. In the course of the research, the methods of qualitative analysis of test information, the comparison method, and the method of structural analysis were used. The research results contribute to the development of the theory and practice of regional management at the stage of the digital transformation of the national economy.
