Summary/Abstract: The transition from an industrial and post-industrial economy to the so-called "digital economy" or an economy based on the networked use of information and communication technologies at the beginning of the 21st century has been considered as a major factor for economic growth. The overall construction of a digital ecosystem within global and national economies has been assessed as a significant component of economic development and an institutional basis for sustainable growth, competitiveness and a high standard of living. The formation is traced and a generalized definition of the concept of "digital economy" is given, and the leading role of information and communication (digital) technologies in the modern economy is emphasized.
