Abstract

The implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the national economy typically goes hand in hand with their use in the public sector. This sector constitutes the driver of the entire system of the national economy and directly directs transformational processes. The rise of ICTs caused significant changes in all sectors of the national economy. It is apparent that the implementation of “electronic government” not only increases the efficiency of the public administration system, but also contributes to an improvement of quality of public services provided to entrepreneurs and regular citizens. We argue that public sector reforms can foster the development of the national economy as well as to promote sustainable economic growth. Today, the ongoing transformational processes include not only the introduction of digital technologies in all sectors of the national economy, but also positive changes in the leadership styles of government structures and methods of government. However, in the process of digitalisation of the national economy, there are still many issues related to the use and implementation of ICTs. Our paper argues that the public sector might help solving some of the key problems related to the digitalization processes and therefore plays a leading role in the national economy.
