Conceptual Approaches to the Development of a Cash Flow Classifier

Abstract

Cash flows are a convenient source of operational information for analyzing the state of the economy. Obtaining this information will ensure the use of operational regulatory tools to achieve the goals of economic security. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the problem of creating a domestic classifier of cash flows, which acts as an early identification tool for crisis phenomena in the economy. The authors systematize foreign and domestic approaches to the creation of a classifier of cash flows, the organization of monitoring of the volatility of cash flows. The article reveals the differences between the classifier of payments and cash flows, identifies the key limitations associated with the creation of the classifier. There are three levels of cash flows: individual, group and territorial. These levels can form the basis of the created cash flow classifier. The authority to monitor cash flows should be assigned to the Bank of Russia. Considering the prospects of expanding the capabilities of the Bank of Russia's payment system and the introduction of the digital ruble, the Bank of Russia can collect and promptly analyze information about cash flows. The object of monitoring is the level of volatility of cash flows. Subsequently, the information received can be automatically transmitted to the relevant authority for the use of state regulation tools.
