Summary/Abstract: Today, digital transformation has become a key element of human life in all areas. Public administration has been competing with other systems to win specific competitive advantages due to globalization, pressure from citizens and digitalization.According to Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI-2020), which measures digital competitiveness using five subcomponents, Romania ranks 26 out of 27 EU member states, mainly due to insufficient development of electronic public services and a limited range of such services.Considering the recently discovered setbacks regarding NPRR, the following measures should be implemented: governmental cloud and interconnected digital systems in public administration, electronic signature and identity, promotion of ICT investments with high added value; Digitalization of education; Broadband and 5G.This study discusses the importance of accelerating the digitalization measures, and the continuation of budget allocations for a wide range of purposes. To conduct the study, we have examined the most relevant articles in the field, the content of NPRR itself, the financial provisions included in the multiannual plan for the 2021-2027 period (CFM), as well as the reports published on the websites of important national, European, and international public institutions.
