Authors : Abassi Krima . Boubchiche Rafik .

Abstract

Many countries' economies are witnessing rapid developments, as they are undergoing a transformation from an economy based on production to an economy based on information and knowledge, where the information and communication technology sector has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, electronic services have flourished and the use of this technology has increased significantly in the economic and social sectors, and the notable prosperity in the sector has been accompanied by the growth of the countries' macroeconomies at a better pace than before, due to their reliance on information technology. The importance of the latter is perhaps demonstrated by its ability to help countries deal with the COVID-19 crisis, as the latter posed a threat to the global economy, which managed to withstand it by relying on several means, most notably information technology.
