Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the process of digitalization has transformed numerous aspects of society, including the way public institutions operate. In Romania, this shift towards a more digitalized approach has become increasingly important. The present article examines the impact of digitalization on public institutions in Romania, focusing on its economic implications. One of the key benefits of digitalization for public institutions is its potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs. By digitizing processes and services, public institutions can streamline their operations, leading to increased productivity and cost savings. In turn, can free up resources that can be allocated to other areas, ultimately enhancing the overall effectiveness of public services. Furthermore, digitalization can also help public institutions in Romania better meet the needs of their citizens. By offering digital services and tools, such as online portals and mobile applications, public institutions can provide more convenient and accessible services to the public. This can result in higher levels of citizen satisfaction and engagement, ultimately leading to a more responsive and citizen-centric government. From an economic perspective, digitalization can also have broader implications for the Romanian economy as a whole. By investing in digital technologies and infrastructure, public institutions can contribute to the development of a more competitive and innovative economy. This can attract foreign investment, stimulate entrepreneurship, and create new opportunities for growth and development. However, challenges remain in fully realizing the economic benefits of digitalization for public institutions in Romania. These include issues related to infrastructure, digital literacy, and data security. By embracing digital technologies and investing in digital infrastructure, public institutions can enhance their efficiency, effectiveness, and overall impact on the economy. It is essential for Romania to continue on this path of digital transformation to fully reap the economic benefits that digitalization can bring.
