Digital Economy Development Programs of the GCC Countries as a Factor in Increasing Regional Competitiveness
Economic space is becoming increasingly focused on digital change and huge amounts of data, with the result that the real and virtual worlds merge, complement each other and become one. The ability to collect these data, analyze them and use them to obtain real value will determine the future of the countries of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) that are globally and regionally competitive. In general, the digitalization is due to modern global trends, in particular, the desire to reduce the cost of payments, increase the availability of goods and services and open new sources of income.
