В последние несколько лет сектор информационно-коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ), ставший крупнейшим на Ближнем Востоке, всё более заметен не только в этом регионе. Особую динамичность его развития обеспечивают крупные инвестиции в новейшие технологии. Успеху сектора ИКТ способствовало и создание новых надзорных органов и совершенствование нормативно-правовой базы различных сфер цифровизации. Руководство страны стремится сделать Саудовскую Аравию одной из ведущих стран мира в области ИКТ, построив цифровую экономику, основанную на принципах четвертой промышленной революции и цифровом управлении обществом. В соответствии с пятилетней стратегией цифрового развития (2019–2023) предусматривается рост ИКТ-сектора на 50% и повышение уровня «саудизации» этого сектора до 50% к 2023 г. Ожидается, что такая стратегия увеличит вклад сектора ИКТ в экономику как минимум на 13,3 млрд долл. Оценивая перспективы  развития  цифровизации  в Саудовской Аравии, автор обнаружил четыре фактора, которые позволяют оценить их как весьма благоприятные – достаточное  финансирование,  ускорение  процесса  приватизации,  влияние пандемии COVID-19 и неизбежность диверсификации национальной экономики, которая невозможна без цифровизации.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines one of the main directions of the implementation of a large-scale program of economic reforms in Saudi Arabia (Saudi Vision-2030), aimed at ridding the Kingdom’s economy of an alarming dependence on oil export revenues – the digital transformation of society, governing structures, and the economy as a whole. In the past few years, the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, which has become the largest in the Middle East, is increasingly visible not only in this region. Its development is particularly dynamic due to large investments in the latest technologies. The success of the ICT sector was also facilitated by the creation of new supervisory bodies and the improvement of the regulatory framework for various areas of digitalization. The country’s leadership aims to make Saudi Arabia one of the world’s leading countries in the field of ICT by building a digital economy based on the principles of the Fourth Industrial Revolutionanddigitalgovernanceofsociety. The five-year digital development strategy (2019–2023) provides for the growth of the ICT sector by 50% and an increase in the rate of “Saudization” of this sector to 50% by 2023. This strategy is expected to increase the contribution of the ICT sector to the economy by at least $13.3 billion. Assessing the prospects for the development of digitalization in Saudi Arabia, the author found four factors that make it possible to assess them as very favorable – sufficient funding, acceleration of the privatization process, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the inevitability of the diversification of the national economy, which is impossible without digitalization.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Саудовская Аравия</kwd><kwd>экономические реформы</kwd><kwd>«Видение-2030»</kwd><kwd>отраслевая диверсификация</kwd><kwd>цифровизация</kwd><kwd>институциональные аспекты</kwd><kwd>нормативно-правовая база</kwd><kwd>мобильная связь</kwd><kwd>Интернет</kwd><kwd>5G</kwd><kwd>электронные деньги</kwd><kwd>кибербезопасность</kwd><kwd>электронное правительство</kwd><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>электронная торговля</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Saudi Arabia</kwd><kwd>economic reforms</kwd><kwd>«Vision-2030»</kwd><kwd>diversification of economic activity</kwd><kwd>digitalization</kwd><kwd>institutional dimension</kwd><kwd>legal instruments</kwd><kwd>mobile communication</kwd><kwd>internet access</kwd><kwd>5G</kwd><kwd>e-money</kwd><kwd>cybersecurity</kwd><kwd>e-government</kwd><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>e-trade</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Косач Г.Г.
