📖 Abstract

This research project will provide an examination of the digital economy as well as how it can affect sustainability in terms of economic, social and environmental development. The study includes a description of both the digital economy and its key elements, along with a discussion of what is meant by the term\'sustainability\' and all of its meanings. Furthermore, this study focuses on analyzing how these two aspects of development are connected and how digital technology positively impacts each of these categories of sustainable development by improving productivity, developing education, healthcare, banking and other services and creating innovative opportunities for financial access. The study showed that the digital economy positively impacts the achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); however, there are many challenges that impact digital transformation including lack of digital infrastructure, shortage of technological skills, and lack of adequate legislation around the digital economy - particularly in developing nations.

These are key requirements for achieving sustainable and inclusive development.
