What are the new areas/sectors that digital economy will flourish in the Post-COVID-19 era?
Cash levels in the economy (country-specific data) from the central bank
In principle these will depend on current technological developments (e.g. 5G, Artificial intelligence and related applications, etc.). However, if you make specific reference to possible (likely) permanent COVID impacts on the organisation of the economy, then a key topic could be virtualisation.
Higher-level education will need to adapt to online teaching for a long time.
So the big question is, how should universities engage students in virtual environment aside from the usual lecture delivery?
Digital marketing and supply chain delivery will leverage on this pandemic requirement to social distance and movement control.

Dear Sule Akkoyunlu,
Currently, it is already highly probable that thanks to vaccines in 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic will expire or significantly reduce its negative direct (citizens' concerns about coronavirus infection) and indirect (through state intervention, e.g. introduced lockdowns limiting the activity of the economy) on the economy. If this positive scenario is realized, then the importance of some factors influencing social and economic processes will also be high when the pandemic is over. As during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the processes of digitization and internetization of economic processes were accelerated, these processes may be continued after the pandemic. Therefore, after the pandemic, the high level of application of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies in the field of remote communication will continue, including, inter alia, the implementation of remote work, Internet communication between citizens, business entities, offices and public institutions. The high level of development of e-commerce, internet-based payments, internet banking, internet-based cultural services, internet-based meetings, symposia, conferences, etc. may be maintained. Moreover, the use of Industry 4.0 technology will grow as part of the development of internet-based sales platforms for various products and services, including, inter alia, technologies such as learning machines, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, etc. The use of data from websites in analytics carried out on platforms equipped with Big Data Analytics and Business intelligence etc. In view of the above, the accelerated development of the digital economy may continue also after the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has passed. The scale of this accelerated development of the digital economy, the information society, the use of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies in communication processes, social and economic processes is also correlated with the sectoral structure of the economy, with particular emphasis on equipping production processes with advanced technologies, including information technologies. This issue is an important determinant of the knowledge-based economy.

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic accelerated the digitization and internetization of economic processes and remote communication, e.g. between economic entities and business partners, cooperators, public institutions and customers. Due to the smooth running of vaccination programs for citizens, each wave of the pandemic causes less and less negative effects on the economy. On the other hand, the processes of digitization and internetisation of the economic activity of companies, corporations, enterprises and other types of economic entities will continue to progress, i.e. also when the pandemic is over. As part of the ongoing digitization of economic processes, the scale of implementation of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies to business entities is growing.
