Изучаемый процесс рассматривается как одна из возможностей для трансформации углеводородной специализации большинства стран Западной Азии, развития новых высокотехнологичных и передовых отраслей на основе регионального сотрудничества и взаимодействия с третьими странами. Важной целью цифровой трансформации стран Западной Азии остается необходимость стабилизации национального социально-экономического развития и снижения зависимости от волатильности мирового рынка нефти. Кроме того, по мнению автора, опыт нефтедобывающих и нефтеэкспортирующих стран Западной Азии в сфере цифровизации может быть адаптирован и для других ресурсообеспеченных государств мира, в том числе Российской Федерации. Целью статьи является анализ современных тенденций развития цифровизации в странах Ближнего Востока, а также новых возможностей, открывающихся перед их социально-экономическими системами. В статье обоснованы необходимость и возможность цифровизации, показаны ее основные направления в рассматриваемой группе стран. На основе проведенного анализа автор аргументирует точку зрения о том, что внедрение цифровых технологий в странах Западной Азии может принести огромные социальные и экономические выгоды и способствовать появлению новых рабочих мест в регионе с высоким уровнем рождаемости. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The relevance of the topic is predetermined, on the one hand, by the strengthening of the global trend of digitalization, and, on the other, by the need for individual countries and regions of the developing world to intensify their efforts in the field of the digital economy in order to diversify production and foreign trade. The process under study is considered as one of the opportunities for the transformation of the hydrocarbon specialization of most countries in Western Asia, the development of new high-tech and advanced industries based on regional cooperation and interaction with third countries. An important goal of the digital transformation of the countries of Western Asia remains the need to stabilize national socioeconomic development and reduce dependence on the volatility of the world oil market. In addition, according to the author, the experience of oil-producing and oil-exporting countries of Western Asia in the field of digitalization can be adapted for other resource-rich countries of the world, including the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to analyze current trends in the development of digitalization in the Middle East countries, as well as new opportunities opening up to their socio-economic systems. The article substantiates the necessity and possibility of digitalization, shows its main directions in the group of countries under consideration. Based on the analysis, the author argues the point of view that the introduction of digital technologies in Western Asia can bring huge social and economic benefits and contribute to the emergence of new jobs in a region with a high birth rate. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>трансформация экономики</kwd><kwd>цифровизация</kwd><kwd>экономическое развитие</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>transformation of the economy</kwd><kwd>digitalization</kwd><kwd>economic development</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Айдрус И.
