Единая промышленная политика Союзного государства Белоруссии и России как инструмент обеспечения экономической безопасности

Abstract

The issue of ensuring the economic security of the Union State and its industrial independence is a priority in the context of sanctions against Russia and Belarus, as well as outright economic pressure from Western countries. The assessment of the current level of economic security of the integration association based on three groups of indicators – the quality of life of the population, the state of foreign trade cooperation, the quality of industrial production and cooperation – revealed an insufficient level of development of industrial cooperation, investment, support for the introduction of R&D, high dependence on imports of goods of the machine-building complex, etc. In addition, the dynamics of the values of most indicators is negative, which indicates the need to develop new economic policy measures, including at the interstate level. The key condition for the self-sufficiency of the Union State in necessary goods, including high-tech ones, is the qualitative development of the industrial sector through active assistance from both state and supranational bodies. Measures taken at the interstate level should synergistically strengthen support at the State level. It is essential to understand the level of demand for critical goods (including raw materials and components for the production of new technological goods) and the necessary resources for the creation and development of their production facilities on the territory of the Union State (including scientific developments, technologies and human resources).
