Indicators of economic development, including GDP growth, employment, productivity, and corporate investments, all showed positive trends at the same time. The percentages of the calculated digital transformation impact indicated an increasing effect over time. An examination conducted over a period of five years highlighted the overall effect of digital transformation and emphasized its ongoing contribution to economic development. Policymakers, companies, and academics should take note of this research's important implications, which underscore the pivotal role that digital transformation plays in determining economic advancement in the digital era.
