CONTENT OF REGULATION OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF UKRAINE AT THE CURRENT STAGE OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of regulation of economic security of Ukraine at the present stage of its development. The author defines the content of economic security in the conditions of war and presents the most common definitions of this category. The meaning of the category “regulation of economic security” is substantiated. The content of the main approaches to the regulation of economic security is presented and disclosed, and the author's definition of the concept of “regulation of economic security of the State” is formulated. It is noted that economic security regulation in science is considered from the perspective of four main approaches: systemic, functional, subjective and integrated. The article pays special attention to the instruments of economic security regulation, which are systematized into three groups: financial and economic, institutional, and legal. Emphasis is placed on financial and economic instruments as the main ones in the regulation of economic security. The analysis of Ukraine's economic indicators characterizing economic security shows an increase in the shadow economy, corruption, and a decrease in the level of trust in the authorities, justice, and public administration. The author analyzes the structure of Ukraine's exports, which poses threats to Ukraine's economic security due to dependence on exporting countries, their international policies, fluctuations in world prices, etc. The problem of social inequality, inherited from the Soviet Union, is highlighted, the meaning of which is the large difference between the minimum and maximum incomes of different segments of the population and complicates the regulation of economic security of our country. The author considers the threats to the development of Ukraine's economy as an object of economic security regulation, identifies and analyzes in detail the internal and external threats to the economic security of the State. The author emphasizes that internal threats largely depend on the State's policy and the use of relevant internal levers and instruments. External threats are more problematic in terms of their regulation by means of internal instruments and can be adjusted using external levers of influence and international cooperation. Considering the threats to economic security and the tools for its regulation, the author formulates conclusions and prospects for further research.
