Post-COVID 2019 sustainable economic development: a new cycle of digital development

The purpose of the work is to simulate sustainable economic development under the influence of the spread of the global pandemic COVID-2019 and its consequences. The work uses such methods of scientific research as classification, problem and comparative analyzes, methods of synthesis and analysis of cause-and-effect relationships, strategy, methods of economic statistics: methods of correlation and regression analyzes, analysis of variance. The study is carried out on the example of the leaders (countries from the top 20) of the World Bank global ranking according to the value of the index of doing business for 2020. Scenarios of sustainable economic development after COVID-2019 are modelled under the influence of digitalization. The scenarios that were written showed that digital technologies can most likely be used to launch a new cycle of digital development. It has been proved that digital technologies, most likely, cannot be used as a countercyclical tool for regulating the market situation, since the scenarios drawn up indicate the absence of regression dependence.
