PROBLEMS OF EFFECTIVE USE OF INFORMATION RESOURCES IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

In the article, the authors investigated the current trends in the use of information resources in the context of Kazakhstan's active transition to the digital economy. In particular, the article presents the results of an analysis of the regulatory framework for regulating the use of information, including digital resources, and analyzes statistical data from the Bureau of National Statistics under the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on the results of the analysis, the authors identified a number of systemic problems that significantly limit the efficiency of using information resources. The most acute of them relate to the contradictions that have arisen, limiting the future viability and reliability of the digital economy. In particular, we are talking about issues related to: the security of personal data, the quality of digital infrastructure and Internet communications, as well as those that underlie the functioning of a sustainable digital economy. In addition, one of the most acute problems in the context of socio–economic development is the inefficient use of unprecedented budget funds over the past decades for the formation of information infrastructure and the lack of an effective monitoring system for the rational use of public resources. In the final part, the authors formulated a conclusion based on the results of the analysis and provided appropriate recommendations.
