Abstract
Introduction. Under the conditions of increasing interregional economic imbalances and deindustrialization of the economy the industrial potential of regions as a catalyst for regional leveling and economic growth becomes particularly important. Due to the development of manufacturing and other activities included in production chains the economies of backward regions can be revitalized. Purpose. The purpose of the article is the development of recommendations of the regional industrial policy implementation using the industrial potential of regions to level out interregional imbalances. Method (methodology). The statistical analysis based on variation coefficients and mapping approach are used for assessing the extent of socio-economic regional imbalances. Using the correlation analysis the relationship between the industry’s share by the number of employees in a regional economy and GRP per capita is estimated. The evaluation of industrial specialization of the regions is performed by industries’ localization coefficients. The regional industrial potential is determined according to the current production performance and its possible increase, internal and external investment resources and human capacity. The recommendations on directions and instruments of regional industrial policy are developed using the generalization of domestic and international experience according to new challenges of industrial and regional development of Ukraine. Results. It is determined that during 2010-2017 the level of regional divergence in Ukraine has significantly increased. The industrial, investment and labour potentials of the regions that may become a driving force for regional leveling are disclosed. The forms of inclusion of the regions with low industrial potential in interregional production chains are substantiated. The new objectives of the modern regional industrial policy arising from modern paradigms of neoindustrial, innovative economies and industrial policy are determined and are directed on overcoming centrifugal trends of regional development in terms of decentralization reform.
