Generating confidence between business and government in conditions of digitalization of the Russian economy

The article examines the modern understanding of the essence and types of trust in the context of the relationship between business and government. The authors analyze the influence of digitalization of economy and socio-political processes on the level of trust in the Russian Federation. It has been determined that modern digital technologies (blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, digital platforms) become both sources of socio-political and economic risks that reduce the level of trust in relationships, and tools for creating new trust in the system of relationships between business and government. The authors propose a number of measures that are necessary for implementation by both the authorities and the business in order to build effective mechanisms for the formation of mutual trusting relationships. They especially note a need to conclude a new social contract that meets the realities of the digital transformation of society.
