The introduction of digital technologies is observed in all spheres of our life: from simple household consumption to public administration. Latin American countries have not been left out of this process. However, the readiness for such a transition varies for the countries of the region. The purpose of this article is a comparative analysis of the infrastructure base of Latin American countries for the transition to a digital economy. The starting point for this transition is the provision of public access to the Internet and the ability of the population to take advantage of the opportunities provided by digital technologies. The basis for the study was the database of the World Bank, the online portal “Statista” and other open sources. Comparison and pattern matching methods were used in the process. The analysis showed that Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica are among the leading countries in the readiness of the infrastructure base for the transition to a digital economy. Countries lagging in this indicator - Haiti, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela. It is noted that in these countries it is necessary to create new institutions, stimulate innovation. In general, the Latin American region at the moment belongs to the middle group of digitalization but has great potential and good prospects.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В последнее десятилетие практически все страны мира разработали стратегии для перехода к цифровой экономике. Внедрение цифровых технологий наблюдается во всех сферах жизни, начиная от простого потребления домохозяйств, заканчивая государственным управлением. Страны Латинской Америки не остались в стороне от этого процесса. Тем не менее готовность к этому переходу неравномерна для стран региона. Целью данной статьи является сравнительный анализ инфраструктурного базиса стран Латинской Америки для перехода к цифровой экономики. Основой для такого перехода является обеспечение доступа населения к сети Интернет и способность населения использовать возможности, предоставляемые цифровыми технологиями. Основной для исследования послужили базы данных Всемирного банка, онлайн-портала Statista и другие открытые источники. В процессе работы использовались методы сравнения и сопоставления. Проведенный анализ показал, что к группе стран - лидеров по готовности инфраструктурного базиса для перехода к цифровой экономике относятся Чили, Аргентина, Уругвай, Коста-Рика. К отстающим по этому показателю странам относятся Гаити, Никарагуа, Гондурас, Венесуэла. Отмечается, что этим странам нужно создавать новые институты, стимулировать внедрение инноваций. В целом регион Латинской Америки относится к средней группе цифровизации на данный момент, но имеет большой потенциал и хорошие перспективы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digital economy</kwd><kwd>digitalization</kwd><kwd>Latin America</kwd><kwd>Internet</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цифровая экономика</kwd><kwd>цифровизация</kwd><kwd>Латинская Америка</kwd><kwd>интернет</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bogoviz, A.V., Osipov, V.S., Chistyakova, M.K., &amp; Borisov, M.Y.
