The Main Directions of Improving the Methodology for the Application of Advanced Information and Communication Technologies in the Statistical Activities of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the Context of the Formation of the Digital Economy

This article presents the main directions of improving the methodology of using advanced information and communication technologies in the statistical industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the context of the digitalization of the economy. In particular, it is shown that modern ICTs have a huge potential for global competitiveness and contribute to the growth of the country's economy.Currently, in the statistical industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a large number of statistical calculations and forecasts are carried out on the basis of the use of the advanced ICT, there is experience in organizing interaction between information systems (IS), operating in the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Statistics (Goskomstat), however, in preparation for population census and the implementation of the National Program “Digital Uzbekistan – 2030”, there is a need to develop new methodological solutions, technologies, software products, innovative mechanisms for collecting, processing and providing reporting information to various categories of users based on the use of the advanced ICT.Purpose. The goal is to develop scientifically grounded directions for improving the methodology for the application of advanced information and communication technologies in the statistical activities of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the context of the formation of the digital economy.Materials and methods. In the process of developing the main directions for improving the methodology for the application of information and communication technologies in the statistical activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan, comparative, systemic, economic and statistical, SWOT analysis, methods of monographic research, questionnaire survey, statistical sampling, grouping, comparison, induction, deduction, optimization method, as well as methods of working with WEB-sites, computer networks and specialized software products were used.Results. The scientific article presents the main directions of improving the methodology for the application of advanced information and communication technologies in the statistical activities of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the context of the formation of a digital economy, in particular with the aim of achieving maximum reliability and efficiency in collecting and processing statistical data, as well as the openness and quality of information when receiving consolidated indicators for various user requests, an analysis of the functionality of information systems and technologies used in the statistical field was carried out, a methodology for the provision of modern state interactive services to end users was developed on the basis of the implementation of a digital analytical platform, mechanisms for improving the quality of state statistical reporting based on the use of web service technologies were proposed, scientific approaches to the integration of statistical activities with other ministries and departments in the in the context of the digitalization of the economy are expressed.The author concludes that the digital economy changes all spheres of life in modern society, contributes to the formation of a new management paradigm, methods and means based on the strengthening of the role of science as a leading productive force generating more and more new knowledge, leading to new trends in the improvement of managerial processes, solving problems of information compatibility of various software and technological complexes, which, in turn, contributes to the processes of globalization and improvement of the social sphere of the national economy, which are manifested not only in the growth of production indicators, but also in the improvement of the quality of life of the country's population.The article shows that a comprehensive analysis, statistical data on the development of innovative processes in the economy allow us to note that innovations based on the use of the advanced ICT contribute to improving the technical and technological basis of production processes, optimizing management processes, and developing human capital. In addition, in the course of the analysis, it was found that the modern world is undergoing changes under the influence of new information and management decisions, which ultimately affects the development of the scientific, production and intellectual potential of industries and spheres of the national economy.Conclusion. This study shows that in the context of the digitalization of the economy, there is a transformation of statistical activities based on the use of the advanced ICT. Digital transformation means the introduction of modern digital technologies into the business processes of socio-economic systems of all levels. This approach implies not only the installation of modern equipment, software or a single technology, but also fundamental changes in approaches to management, corporate culture and external communications. Improving management in this aspect contributes to an increase in the productivity of each employee, optimization of information exchange and achievement of high results in the economic market
