Currently, a number of quantitative indicators have been developed in the world that determine the ranking of countries according to the degree of development of the digital economy. It is a system of indices and sub-indices on various areas of digitalization development. Conducting such evaluation by various organizations allows us to speak about the objectivity of assessments received and the reflection of real situation in a particular country.
