Formation of economic indicators of national security in the context of business digitalization and changes in the economy

Abstract

Abstract. Today, Ukraine's economic development is taking place in the context of market competition, negative phenomena in the foreign economic sphere, and most importantly, russia's full-scale military aggression. At the same time, economic relations in the country are characterized by such undesirable phenomena as the shadow economy, economic inequality of business participants, growth of external debts, decline in economic activity, deficits of the state and territorial budgets, unprofitability of business entities, migration processes, unemployment, and poverty. The article examines the content of the concept of economic security in the context of the national security component, which is determined by a set of tasks based on the implementation of the Economic Security Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2025. The author analyzes the dynamics of indicators that determine the state of economic security of Ukraine and the existing threats in the national economy. In order to monitor the state of economic security in accordance with the Strategy, it is proposed to fulfill the task of its scientific support, to develop methodological recommendations and a mechanism for interpreting the integral indicator. At present, there is no information on the level of economic security of Ukraine on the official websites of the legislative and executive branches of government since 2021. The system of reservations regarding the indicators for assessing the economic security of Ukraine proposed in the Strategy is substantiated. A simplified list of indicators for monitoring the state of economic security is defined and interval signs of economic development scenarios at the level of optimistic, pessimistic and basic characteristics are developed for the integral indicator. The assessment of the status of economic security objects (the State, territorial communities, types of economic activity, business entities) is significantly influenced by the development of digitalization of the economy. It is established that in our country the processes of digitalization do not have a cross-cutting connection «business entities – types of economic activity – territorial communities – the State», but arise and develop locally within individual business and government structures.
