The method of content analysis, the method of constructing simple and combined statistical groupings, was used. The method of correlations and regressions was used. Results. The necessity of developing a system of concepts that reveal the essence, content and digital literacy of public and municipal administration is revealed. It has been established that there is a close relationship between the growth of digital maturity and the effectiveness of using existing opportunities in the regions.
