The purpose of this article is to analyze the sustainability of the Senegalese economy towards a digital transition. To do this, this work focused on modeling the relationship between digital technologies and economic growth. We applied the ARDL (Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag) estimation method to model the long-term and short-term dynamics of the impact of the digital economy on economic growth in Senegal. The results of the estimates, as part of the specification used, lead to the conclusion that there is a positive impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on economic growth. These results are mainly due to the productive nature of investment and factor productivity.
