Abstract: This study looks at the multi-criteria hierarchy of Romanian regions from the standpoint of the digital economy using particular information and communication technology statistics released by EUROSTAT. The multi-criteria hierarchy of regions' practical application comes from the fact that it enables experts, national and local public authorities, to understand the actual situation and the place of each region in the ranking. In relation to these positions, the existing interregional disappearances are highlighted and necessary measures can be taken to reduce them at the expense of special and regional programs. What is specific to this paper is the application of methods other than those commonly used in regional analysis. It is about the methods of competitive analysis of companies, namely: the synthetic indicator procedure, the comparison matrix procedure, the distance procedure and the final ranking procedure. These procedures have been adapted to the regional analysis. The target time period was 2008-2020. The results of the analysis revealed once again the existence of the two regional poles of Romania from the perspective of the digital economy. It is about the Bucharest-Ilfov region positioned at the top of the ranking and the North-East region.
