Current labor market development trends in the context of the economic security of the state

In modern economic conditions, issues related to the changes that have taken place in the labor market in the context of the economic security of the state are becoming important. Ensuring a sufficient level of economic security of the state directly depends on the state of the labor market, structural changes and trends in its functioning, and the level of flexibility and adaptability to new socio-political conditions. The article aims to study modern trends in the development of the labor market in the context of the state's economic security. The authors analyzed the approaches to defining the essence of the «labor market» concept, which made it possible to systematize this category's scientific and methodological approaches. The article examines issues that highlight the situation in the Ukrainian labor market during the transformation of socio-economic processes and analyzes the impact of changes in the trends of the key parameters of the functioning of the labor market on the state's economic security. The analysis was carried out based on data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, and the National Bank of Ukraine, which made it possible to determine the main trends in the development of the labor market, identify challenges that affect the formation of the labor potential of the economy, establish indicators of the level of economic security of the country and its components, which take into account indicators of the state and efficiency of the labor market. The authors characterized the labor market in martial law conditions in Ukraine, which made it possible to outline the main consequences and peculiarities of its functioning. The labor market should play a special role in ensuring the country's economic security during wartime. The article substantiates the need to implement measures in the labor market field. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the issues of successfully overcoming destructive processes in the demographic development of the population, increasing the level and quality of employment of the population, which will contribute to the improvement of economic, social, and labor relations in the country, and in the perspective of the formation of the effective and sufficient labor potential aimed at restoring the economy, the social infrastructure of the country and maintaining a high level of economic security of the state.

Вплив тіньової економіки України на макроекономічні показники та економічну безпеку держави

The article examines the influence of the domestic shadow economy on the main macroeconomic indicators of the state's development, and offers proposals for reducing the volume and level of the shadow economy of Ukraine. It systematizes scientific approaches to the essence and factors of economic shadowing and economic security. The study examines the experience of international organizations aimed at combating money laundering. It is revealed that the shadow economy of the country, in the conditions of globalization, is one of the significant exogenous factors influencing the economic security of the state. Most European countries, including Ukraine, use Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as an indicator of the volume of national production and the economic well-being of society. The article highlights the dynamics of GDP and the level of the shadow sector of the economy as a percentage of Ukraine's GDP over the entire period of the country's independence. Obtaining clear, reliable, and well-founded data on the volumes of the shadow economy allows developing well-reasoned measures to strengthen the economic security of the state. The implementation of measures aimed at strengthening the economic security of the state is primarily based on the development and implementation of effective legislative acts to counteract the shadowing of the economy. These measures should provide a reduction in the tax burden, the creation of more favorable conditions for legal work, the establishment of a system to counteract the legalization of criminally obtained income, the implementation of effective financial control, and the creation of liberal conditions in the legal economy. To overcome the negative trends caused by a state of war, there is a need to develop an adequate mechanism to reduce the volumes and level of the domestic shadow economy. This mechanism should not only allow the country to quickly adapt to the modern changing environment but also contribute to the resolution of national security issues. Addressing this task necessitates the development of a set of practical recommendations for reducing absolute and relative levels of economic shadowing and, based on this, strengthening the country's economic security. In this regard, the authors have developed a multi-level model for reducing the volumes and level of the shadow economy by improving methodological approaches to the management of this process at the regional, national (state), intergovernmental, and global levels.

FINANCIAL SECURITY AS A STRATEGIC COMPONENT OF THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF UKRAINE

Today's economic reality convincingly shows that the pace, prospects and general vector of socio-economic progress of domestic economies is largely subordinated to the state of formation of the country's economic security, in the general system of which the financial component plays a key role. The state of the national financial sector is becoming more and more difficult to control, due to the rather rapid change in the market situation in the world financial markets and the interconnected system of economic relations in the general structure of the world economy. Today, the financial potential of the state depends on the amount of financial resources, which are quite limited. The limitation and insufficiency of financial resources is the main reason for the increase in the amount of state internal and external debt, the growth of the inflation rate, and the development of the shadow economy. To solve these problems, it is necessary to develop balanced measures of state regulation, which should be aimed at strengthening the country's financial security. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of the concept of "financial security" and determine its place in the system of national and economic security of Ukraine. Conducting an analysis of internal and external threats to economic and financial security, its main indicators, and based on the results, provide recommendations on directions for their improvement and strengthening. The article is devoted to the study of the essence and problems of ensuring the financial and economic security of the state. The theoretical foundations of the concept of "financial security" are substantiated. The essence of the concept of "financial security" as the main component of economic security is considered and its place in the general hierarchy of national security is argued, the constituent elements of financial security are established. The author's vision of the essence of the structural elements of financial security is highlighted. A comparative analysis of external and internal threats to economic and financial security was carried out. The concepts of "financial security" and "economic security" are closely related, but not identical. The main and most dangerous threats to the economic (financial) security of Ukraine are analyzed. A comparative analysis of the indicators of financial and economic security with their threshold values was carried out, and directions for improving the financial security system were proposed based on the detected deviations. The selected research topic is quite promising and is subject to further disclosure when studying the financial security system and its interaction with other components of the national security of Ukraine

МІЖНАРОДНА ЕКОНОМІЧНА ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ: СУТНІСТЬ ТА ПРОБЛЕМАТИКА ТРАКТУВАННЯ

The article systematizes the conceptual-categorical apparatus of the international economy in terms of clarifying the definition of “international economic activity” based on the study of the works of domestic scientists. It has been proven that in the context of national interests, international economic activity should be aimed at ensuring the country's economic security, an innovative model of economic development, strengthening its scientific and technical potential, and developing equal and mutually beneficial relations with other countries of the world. The study of the views of domestic scientists made it possible to establish the relationship between the terms “international microeconomics”, “international macroeconomics” and “international economic activity”. It was established that domestic scientists interpret the concept of “international economic activity” in different ways. A critical analysis of the researched interpretations of the concept of “international economic activity” made it possible to single out the scope of application of this concept and the subject component. A refined definition of “international economic activity” is given. The advantage of the specified term is the determination of the direction of the actions of the subjects (formation, development and implementation of the advantages of international cooperation, international specialization and cooperation), the specification of the purpose of these actions taking into account the realities of today (ensuring the international competitiveness of countries, increasing their economic potential). The authors have systematized the existing interpretations of the term "foreign economic activity" in regulatory and legal acts and scientific literature. The common and distinctive features of the concepts of "foreign economic activity" and "international economic activity" have been determined. It was established that the second concept is a broader concept, because it includes a greater number of forms of economic interaction of subjects in the system of global economic relations and has goals that are more global.

РАЗВИТИЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА В СИСТЕМЕ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ СТРАНЫ

With the entry into the third millennium, humanity has been completely captured by digital transformation and global challenges. Human potential acquires an object-subject essence, acting as an engine of social development and, simultaneously, an object of transformation. The role of human potential in the constant unpredictable movement of the country increases many times. The large-scale and incessant sanctions pressure, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the aggravated geopolitical situation require a person to realize his potential not only to ensure the stability of the economy, but also the national security of the country. Digitalization and the development of artificial intelligence, in turn, not only bring creation, but at the same time – the destruction of the tasks set by man, which entails serious contradictions. It was found that the use of the Internet reduces human interaction in real life, reduces the level of people's participation in political life, as well as civic activity and participation in cultural life, taking into account their various forms. The potential accumulated by a person, being a source of innovations and inventions, satisfies the need for development, and external challenges and threats that generate today's uncertainties give a person the means to overcome them and further develop at a higher level. Structurally, each component of human potential contributes to ensuring the stability of the economy and its sustainability. This is the paradox of human potential as the basis of the country's economic security: development combined with uncertainty and development taking place against the background of global constraints.

КАПІТАЛІЗАЦІЯ ІНТЕГРОВАНИХ АГРАРНО-ПРОМИСЛОВИХ ФОРМУВАНЬ У ВОЄННИЙ ПЕРІОД

In the current conditions of the destruction of the agricultural sector in Ukraine as a result of armed aggression, fierce competition in the sector is intensifying. The enterprises that remained on the market, in addition to internalcompetition, also have tough external competition with leading agricul-tural holdings of other countries. Therefore, in order to ensure an appropriate level of competition on global markets for domestic agricultural enterprises, it is necessary to form newmechanisms for ensur-ing the economic security of both the sector and the state in general. The agro-industrial sector is a strategically important aspect of ensuring food and economic security of the country, especially in the conditions of martial law and post-war reconstruction of the state. One of these directions is the creation of agricultural and industrial formations that will allow enterprises to create a closed cycle of produc-tion, which will contribute to increasing their competitiveness and economic stability.The article examines the main aspects of ensuring economic security through the development of capitalization of agrarian and industrial formations. Positive and negative aspects of the capitalization of integrated formations were singled out. The main directions of capitalization of agricultural and industrial formations are proposed. The importance of the development of the agricultural sector of the economy for the country's economic and food security has been proven. The structure of theagrarian sector of the economy in the general structure of the state economy is analyzed. Ten leaders of the agricultural industry in Ukraine are singled out. The activity of the largest integrated agro-industrial formations in Ukraine is studied, the peculiarities of their functioning, the state of development and capitalization of assets are highlighted. Directions for increasing the capitalization of integrated agri-cultural and industrial formations are proposed

Research of the factor segment content of economic security management in the conditions of geopolitical transformations

The object of research is management system of the country's economic security and the consequences of the influence of the shadow economy on it. Research is carried out on the example of Ukraine, as a country with a fairly high level of shadow processes in business. Shadow incomes and agreements are currently one of the main problems of the management system of income distribution and redistribution. The global scale of the economy and the deregulation of international mergers and acquisitions take shadow capital beyond individual countries, giving them global importance for the economic security of different countries. An analysis of the influence of the shadow economy on all stages of merger and acquisition agreements in Ukraine was carried out. The negative effects of shadowing on attracting foreign and national investments, which reduces the effectiveness of the country’s economic security management system, were analyzed. The article presents a comparative analysis of the dynamics of economic development indices of the country and the level of the shadow economy. In the process of the research methods of analysis and synthesis, methods of logical design, tabular and graphical methods of data presentation are used. Correlation-regression analysis was used to study the relationship between the indicators of the shadow economy and the level of economic security of the state. On the basis of statistical indicators, the comparison of indicators of development of shadow economy and separate indicators of economic security of Ukraine is carried out. Correlation-regression analysis was used to study the relationship between the indicators of the illegal economy and the level of economic security of the state in the conditions of geopolitical transformation. The results of the calculations showed that for most indices of economic security and the level of the shadow economy there is a direct relationship. The established dependencies can be the basis for determining the key vectors of the state policy of counteracting the development of the shadow economy and tools for influencing the most sensitive indicators of Ukraine’s economic development. The research conducted in this article can be useful for scientists who research economic security management systems, for government institutions with the aim of forming an economic security program. The methodology can be used to determine investment priorities based on the analysis of the impact of the illegal economy on the economic security of society.

Development of the methodology for evaluating the economic security of the entrepreneurship in the international trade system

The object of research is the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the state from the standpoint of analyzing its foreign trade. The perception of the economic security of countries is not yet unambiguous; it is important to study the theoretical foundations of economic security. In the works of the predecessors, the hierarchy of the concept of economic security was determined and the concept of the economic security of the state was proposed. But most research is not comprehensive enough. The components of the country's economic security are determined through three groups of risks, but such a division does not take into account most of the threats and is not sufficiently detailed and comprehensive. In the scientific works of economists, the methodology, level, indicators are presented as separate aspects of the formation and management of the economic security of the state. Without denying the significant contribution of these developments, the study noted the lack of a unified methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country. Accordingly, this study was aimed at presenting a conceptual approach to the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country, based on the study of international trade and the main statistical indicators of the economy. The study of the level of economic security of the country is based on the use of indicators built on indicators of the state of the country's economy and its international trade. The paper studies the dynamics of the main socio-economic indicators of the development of the economies of the associated trio of countries: Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. And also the state of economic security of countries and prospects for further development are determined. It has been established that Ukraine in the pre-war period had a better level of economic security than Georgia and Moldova.

Теоретические аспекты содержания экономической безопасности государства в современных условиях

The change in the general consciousness of society predetermines new approaches to ensuring security, deepens its content and the most important components. At the present stage, the role of economic science in working out the conceptual foundations of economic security is noticeably increasing. The problems of manifestations and identification of existing threats, the search for effective tools and methods for neutralizing or eliminating them come to the fore in the field of economic security from the point of view of its scientific justification. Ensuring the economic security of the state is a guarantee of its independence, a condition for sustainable development, as well as a prerequisite for improving the welfare of all sectors of society. This thesis is confirmed by the experience of European countries in the formation of economic security. Given this, the protection of economic interests is included in the list of the most important national priorities [2]. In this regard, the article analyzes the content of economic security and its subsystems, considers the classification of internal and external threats, methodological approaches to solving the problem of determining indicators of the state of macroeconomic security. Considering the definitions of "economic security" in the interpretation of Western experts, the authors propose their own classification of this category. The establishment of basic standards and indicators of economic security plays an important role, therefore, in the study, the authors of the article develop criteria for determining the level of ensuring the country's economic security.

Successful territorial brand formation (on the example of Singapore)

Main directions of improving the strategy of Ukraine's external debt management based on the results of the assessment of the main indicators of external state debt in relation to the criteria of economic security and the impact of external debt on key macroeconomic indicators are substantiated in the article. According to the results of the regression analysis of the relationship between main macroeconomic indicators and indicators of external debt, it was concluded that the external debt has an ambiguous impact on the economy of Ukraine. The hypothesis about the negative consequences of increasing the external state debt for the economy of Ukraine has not been fully confirmed. Based on the analysis of the data for 2008-2020, the direct impact of changes in external debt on GDP in actual prices, as well as the direct impact of gross external debt on changes in GDP per capita was identified. This confirms a positive role of external borrowing in ensuring Ukraine's economic growth. At the same time, the inverse dependence of Ukraine's GDP on changes in external debt per capita and the ratio of total payments to service external debt to state budget revenues was revealed. The dependence of GDP per capita on the ratio of total external debt service payments to state budget revenues is also inverse. The results of the study suggest an ambiguous impact of external debt on the national economy, which necessitates effective management of the external debt. The Long-Term Strategy for Ukraine's External Debt Management until 2030 should become an important institutional tool for reducing threats to the country's economic security arising from the growing debt burden. The purpose of the proposed Strategy is to minimize the cost of servicing external debt in the long run and reduce the level of relevant risks.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE STATE IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE COVID-19: CURRENT PROBLEMS AND VECTORS OF DEVELOPMENT

Abstract. The purpose of this article is to provide a thorough examines the strategic management of economic security of the state and development of strategic management of the state's economic security in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 It is noted that in the process of assessing the scale of current problems there is a need for a detailed study of the content, types, factors, and ways of spreading threats / threats to socio-economic security of Ukraine, which have long accumulated in the economic sphere. It is determined that the release of citizens from the branches of the national economy, suspended due to quarantine; reduction of household incomes and rising prices for goods that have no substitutes; reduction of aggregate supply and demand in case of loss of markets; increase in receivables of enterprises and the general deterioration of their financial condition. All countries, markets, businesses, firms and other economic institutions have somehow coped with the effects of the pandemic. This is easily explained by the relatively rapid integration into the world economy through international trade, financial flows and labor migration. Another factor of economic instability was the rapid expansion of services. Despite the growing importance for society and employment, services are most at risk of a pandemic. Sectors of the economy that were under strong pressure under the influence of the coronavirus crisis are highlighted. The macrofinancial indicators of Ukraine for 2018-2020 are analyzed. Thus, there is a stable growth of GDP (in actual prices) throughout the study period, which indicates an increase in domestic production capacity. In 2019, this figure increased by 111.7% compared to 2018, and in 2020 this figure showed an increase of 105.5%. The total amount of public and state-guaranteed debt will increase during 2018-2020. In 2019, the debt increased by UAH 6.05 billion, and in 2020 this figure increased by UAH 5.88 billion. But the ratio of public debt to GDP fluctuates. In 2018, this figure was 60.9%, in 2019 - 50.3%, and in 2020 - 60.8%. The recession could be particularly damaging for countries with the greatest potential for unrest and conflict. The authors developed a strategy for managing the country's economic security has been developed.

Purpose: is to assess the security of Russia's economic security in the foreign economic sphere.Methods: the article is based on the analysis of the theoretical foundations of the formation of target values of economic security indicators, the study of the methodology for applying the non-parametric method for assessing data envelopment analysis and the use of the statistical method of information processing. The method of comparative analysis of the economic development of foreign countries was also used. To form a holistic view of the results of the assessment, the data visualization method was used.Results: based on the result of considering the methodology of the non-parametric data envelopment analysis estimation method, the advantages of its application are described, as well as the key features that need to be paid attention to when assessing by this method. The content of two main assessment models used in the framework of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is disclosed, the use of one of them in the context of assessing the country's economic security is justified. By using specialized software (Deap version 1.2), the economic security of Russia in the foreign economic sphere was assessed, as a result of which the target value of the economic security indicator for the long term was obtained.Conclusions and Relevance: the method for assessing economic security considered in the article makes it possible to deepen the existing assessment tools, supplement the existing methods for calculating the target indicators of economic security and, if necessary, adjust the current target indicators. The information obtained on the basis of the DEA method can be used in the formation of plans and forecasts in the field of economic security, as well as in the development of methodological support for the Economic Security Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030.

INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION PROCESSES INFLUENCE ON WELFARE OF COUNTRY

The primary objective of the research is to investigate the influence of international integration processes on national welfare. Peculiarities of trade and economic liberalization of trade through mechanism of regional trade agreements (RTA) forming have been scrutinized. Integration, which develops due to RTAs, is the most important mechanism of the international cooperation in the field of economic policy. This integration is a coordination and protection mechanism, which functions in a broad spectrum of policies. An exceptional role of RTAs in reaching country economic security has been estimated. RTAs being a result of a compromise reached by protectionism and anti-protectionism forces have been grounded. Using tools of the multiple regression model, the influence of integration processes, in which Ukraine and China participate, on national economic growth rates and on GDP per capita (as major parameters reflecting national welfare level) was simulated. This allowed detecting of the positive direct dependence between the trade liberalization and economic growth rates, as well as the inverse dependence between the trade liberalization and GDP per capita, for both countries. Based on these regression models, economic growth rates and GDP per capita were predicted for next years; according to this prediction, graduate increasing of national welfare shall occur in Ukraine and China.

Сравнительная оценка уровня экономической безопасности российских регионов, граничащих с Украиной

Based on the analysis of official statistics data, the article assesses the economic security of the Russian regions located on the border with Ukraine. The assessment was carried out on the basis of the author's methodology. The list of indicators includes indicators of the state of the country's economic security; indicators used to measure the achievement of national development goals; indicators characterizing the economic potential of the territory, the development of promising types of economic activity, the demographic situation, the standard of living of the population, investment attractiveness, innovative activity of economic entities, human resources of the regional economy, small business development, cooperation with neighboring countries. A significant lag in the level of socio-economic development of the Republic of Crimea and the Bryansk region was revealed, which poses a threat to the national security of the state. The economic potential of the Republic of Crimea, which has the status of a priority geostrategic territory, is rapidly strengthening. The financial dependence of the Bryansk region on the federal center remains high.The author substantiates the need to develop a comprehensive plan for the socio-economic development of the Bryansk region, bordering two foreign states, providing for co-financing by the federal center of its main activities, which will strengthen the economic potential, will contribute to the growth of living standards and the stabilization of the demographic situation in the border region, providing the national security of the state.

Development of international trade of ukraine in crisis conditions

It is calculated and analyzed the dynamics of international trade indicators of Ukraine for the period 2017–2021 (foreign trade turnover, balance of trade balance, net trade index, degree of dependence of the country on international trade, share of exports in GDP, share of exports of goods and services in foreign trade turnover, indicators of export, import and foreign trade quotas, as well as corresponding coverage ratios) in the article. It was established that despite the crisis conditions, the realization of the domestic foreign trade potential for the period 2017–2021 improved, which is a positive trend. The extent of Ukraine's dependence on international trade was determined, which indicates its transition from the category of «highly dependent countries» to the category of «moderately dependent countries». It is noted that Ukraine's exports are growing faster than imports, and the country's high dependence on imports is a negative factor (as evidenced by the negative trade balance during 2017–2020). A high degree of openness of the national economy and an increase in the realization of its export potential have been established, as evidenced by the volume of foreign trade and export quotas. It was noted that the negative impact of the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic on the market situation in 2020 was affected by a decrease in the volume of foreign trade turnover. A SWOT analysis was conducted, on the basis of which the strategy for the further development of Ukraine's international trade in the context of the crisis was substantiated and practical proposals for its implementation were provided. Based on the results of calculations, it was established that the weaknesses (deficiencies) of Ukraine's international trade outweigh its strengths. And the level of the foreign trade component of our country's economic security is negative due to the predominance of «threats» over «opportunities» for development. In order to ensure the development of Ukraine's international trade in the crisis, it is proposed to use the «mini-mini» strategy, which is aimed at minimizing its «weak» positions and avoiding external «threats» to development. It was found that despite the crisis phenomena, Ukraine's international trade has great development potential, which it is trying to realize despite global challenges and crises.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS AS A COMPONENT OF MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY IN THE CONDITIONS OF INSTABILITY OF GEOPOLITICAL SITUATION

Introduction Today there is a new trend in geopolitical architecture: on the one hand there are some trends in the introduction of protectionism and / or even isolationism in global processes, on the other hand global trends continue to increasingly influence economic and social activity of communities around the world. Security issues are becoming increasingly important over time and this is important not only in terms of politics and defense but also the economy. That is why it is necessary to consider new markets, especially during their formation and even unattractive from an investment point of view. This is exactly the Ukrainian market and one of the elements of improving its investment attractiveness is the intensification of mergers and acquisitions. Purpose The purpose of this article is to study the Ukrainian trends in the management of mergers and acquisitions in the context of national economic security. The task of the article is to study the theoretical aspects of management and planning of mergers and acquisitions and their positive impact on the economic security of the country; analyze the strategies used by enterprises in concluding such agreements; develop solutions to improve the country's economic security management system. Method (methodology) The following general scientific methods were used in the research process: analysis and synthesis, grouping and systematization of identifying the essence of economic security and mergers and acquisitions, their structure, principles of formation, development of the concept of diagnosing the effectiveness of investor attraction systems and control; inductions and deductions - to generalize the theoretical aspects of the peculiarities of the formation of economic security; statistical and economic - to assess the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions.

Implikacje dla bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego krajowych gospodarek, wynikające z ekspansji przedsiębiorstw międzynarodowych

Purpose: Due to their economic and financial potential, international enterprises influence other entities of foreign and international economic policy, in particular international organizations and the national economy of host countries. The article presents this influence from the point of view of the problem of economic security and independence of national economies. Hence, its main goal is to try to define the effects of activities of international enterprises from this perspective. The article focuses in particular on the aspects of the influence of foreign capital, including FDI, on the economic security of national economies. Hypothesis: The increasing dynamics of the inflow of foreign capital may lead to a decline in the country's economic security. Methodology: The methodology of professional literature analysis, the monographic-descriptive method and the analysis of statistical data from UNCTAD databases, IGCC and GUS were used. The study period is 2010–2021. Findings: The conducted literature research allows us to state that in the modern world, economic security is not only related to socio-economic progress and development opportunities of individual countries, but also to security threats resulting from the influence of the international environment, including the functioning of transnational corporations, which have a significant economic force. On the other hand, taking into account empirical research and the assessment of the situation from the perspective of economic security, it can be indicated that there is a relatively weak degree of dependence of the Polish national economy on foreign capital (despite the increase in the inflow dynamics) in the form of foreign direct investment. However, this conclusion cannot be made taking into account the global perspective and the dynamically changing geopolitical and economic situation. Implications for theory and practice: The increasing activity of transnational corporations in international markets is the source of extensive contemporary scientific discussion. Problems are also caused by the precise definition of the relationship between the corporation and other participants in international relations, as well as the diagnosis of the manifestations of their impact on the international environment, including the global political sphere and the politics of the host country, as well as its national economy. Originality and value: The article attempts to assess the impact of the expansion of international eneterprises on the economic security and independence of the national economy of the host country.

РОЗВИТОК ЦИРКУЛЯРНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ ЯК ФАКТОР ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ

Introduction. The recovery of the Ukrainian economy should be based on sustainable development within the framework of the European Green Deal. This enables to merge perfectly into the European Community and to accelerate the Ukrainian manufacturing modernization. Reducing the resource and energy intensity of the economy is critical to strengthening the country's economic security and to reducing energy dependence. The environmental imperatives actually stepped outside the confines of environmental protection, having turned in an effective tool for economic development. At the same time, it is important to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations for assessing the state and monitoring the strengthening of economic security in the context of combating climate change, where the transition from a linear to a circular system of production and intensity plays a significant role, which determines the relevance of scientific research. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to explore the impact of the environmental component on ensuring economic security; substantiate the main methodological approaches to assessing the circularity of the economy, which will allow to propose measures for implementing the possibilities of a circular transition to strengthen the economic security of Ukraine. Materials and methods. Theoretical and methodological base of research consists of general scientific methods: logical analysis (to clarify the list of environmental indicators and economic security); system-structural analysis (to streamline and systematize the principles, approaches, features of the development of the circular economy); rating method and comparative analysis to determine the level of development of the circular economy of Ukraine among other countries; statistical analysis (to identify the main trends in environmental indicators of economic security: energy intensity, waste intensity and carbon intensity, etc.); grouping and classification (when studying the impact of the circular economy on economic security); method of comparison and expert assessments (to identify promising measures to promote the transition to a circular economy). Results and discussion. The introduction of the circular environmentally friendly production principles is one of the tasks for enhancing economic security. It leads to such affects: the energy dependence reduction of the economy, minimization of greenhouse gas emissions, reduction of waste landfills; reducing the extraction of exhaustive minerals, creating additional jobs in the regions and optimizing the costs of environmental protection measures (water treatment, waste processing, etc.). It is important to improve the system of indicators for assessing the development of the circular economy in Ukraine by applying the relevant indicators adopted in European practice. The key factors which justify an accelerating circular transition in Ukraine are, in particular, the strengthening of integration processes; industrial sector modernization; ensuring European standards for product quality and safety and environmental friendliness; the need to strengthen economic security and the adoption of numerous international agreements to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, etc. Conclusions. Transition to circular economical model in Ukraine depends on the implementation of a number of measures, the implementation of which will enhance economic security, in particular: introducing updated national waste management hierarchy in Ukraine and long-term waste management planning at the national, regional and local levels; facilitating preparations for the reuse of recyclables and energy resources; creation of cost-effective technologies for the processing of hard domestic waste with the receipt of a final product useful to society; improvement of existing logistical approaches to domestic waste management at the national and regional levels.
