Abstract

Within the article, strategies of increasing the economic security level of the regions on the basis of the proposed dy-namic two-factor matrix "the economic security level – the strategy", which defines the regions' economic security zones and corresponding strategies for enhancing the regional economic security, are substantiated. Integrated indicators of economic security of the region were used to construct the matrix, they were calculated according to the developed forecasting models, in particular for determining coordinates of the region - integral indicators by the component analysis; to select the scale of the matrix – integral indicator of the taxonomic analysis; to determine the diameter of the sphere on the plane– integral in-dex by the method of principal components. The proposed matrix is divided into three economic security zones, for which appropriate strategies for improving the economic security of the regions are set: safe zone - a strategy of growth that antici-pates growth (maintaining the achieved level of economic security and preventing potential threats); neutral zone – a strate-gy of adaptation according to which measures should be taken to adapt the economic security of regions to changes in the environment; unsafe zone - a strategy of transformation that involves transformational changes that address the priority areas of social and economic development in the region, as well as taking the necessary measures to counteract destabilizing factors of various kinds. It is also established that the economic security of Dnipropetrovsk region is characterized as safe during the study period, and therefore the most appropriate is a strategy of growth, which implementation ensures that the current level of economic security is maintained. The analysis of the existing strategies for economic development of the re-gions for which the growth strategies have been recommended allowed determining their strategic priorities: human capital development, reduction of intra-regional economic imbalances, rural development, environmental and energy security.
