Economic aspects of digital sovereignity

the purpose of the study is to analyze the economic aspects of digital sovereignty. Methods include comparative analysis of approaches used in different countries, as well as SWOT analysis of the economic aspects of digital sovereignty. Findings: The economic aspects of digital sovereignty include two main areas: state and company costs for digitalization and security to protect against cybercrime and losses from cyberattacks. The importance of the development of import substitution in the field of digital technologies and the development of the domestic IT sector is noted, since this reduces the country's dependence on the supply of components and software by foreign partners and makes the country independent. As an economic benefit from storing data within the country, we can name the reduction of the risks of sanctions blocking, as well as the cancellation of payments to foreign services. At the same time, there are certain difficulties in creating digital sovereignty. One of the difficulties lies in the lack of chips and equipment that were previously supplied by foreign companies. Due to the need to rewrite the code for new platforms, IT developments are currently at the initial stage. When creating systems of protection against cyber attacks, it is necessary to focus on key areas, since this requires significant financial investments. Conclusions: the analysis allows us to highlight the features of ensuring digital sovereignty in other countries, which can be the basis for the development of Russia's policy in this area. Highlighted dangers and opportunities allow us to focus on the development of the strengths of digital sovereignty.
