Abstract

      Digitization is one of the most important fields in our contemporary time and it has become necessary for economic institutions to adopt. Rapid technological development has made a great impact on the global economy, and technological systems have knocked on the doors of various economic sectors and contributed to achieving more advantages, including the speed and efficiency of services and the development of innovations. And the solutions needed by society and improving the methods of administrative and governmental work, work on digitizing the economies of a country that enables it to achieve more growth and enhances its ability to strengthen and improve the economy by increasing the ability of that country to preserve its resources and rationalize their use, which increases the sustainability of economic resources, so to speak, and accordingly Basically, the most important concepts in digitization are highlighted, and then we go back to sustainability, and then we review the extent to which Iraq benefits from digitization in the economic field. The results of the research indicated that digitization leads to rationalizing the consumption of various resources, increasing the efficiency of their use, reducing waste and financial corruption, and increasing and improving the productivity of human resources. We add to that the positive impact of digitization on the environment for its role in reducing the level of pollution due to rationalization and efficiency resulting from the use of modern digital technologies in various Economic activities, and with regard to Iraq, the technology that reaches it is not at the level of ambition and does not help in achieving the development it aspires to. Rather, it is considered late in implementing digital development strategies compared to countries in the region and the world. As a result of the low level of education and weak investment in digital infrastructure.
