ACTIVATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE BANKING BUSINESS ON ENSURING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE

At the present stage of socio-economic transformations of Ukraine, in the context of the need to strengthen the impact of the banking business on ensuring the sustainable development of the national economy, the issues of participation of the credit potential of banks are becoming relevant. The direct and indirect impact of banks on the economic growth of the country is highlighted. The role of banks in the formation of credit potential is analyzed by qualitative indicators during 2018-01.10.2023. It is determined that the main indicators of the efficiency of using the resource potential of the banking business are: the ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets, the rate of return on assets, the ratio of liquid assets to total assets, the ratio of customer deposits to total gross loans, the ratio of non-performing loans to total gross loans, the ratio of loans granted by banks to GDP, the standard of the total amount of investment in the banking system, according to which the study of the relationship between changes in the pace of economic development depending on the development of the banking business was carried out. It is proposed to expand a number of measures to stimulate the credit activity of the banking business of Ukraine in the context of European integration.

Assessment of Multi-Regional Comprehensive Benefits of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China

Inter-basin water transfer (IBWT) projects are an effective means of addressing regional water resource imbalances. However, owing to the long construction cycle, large investment amount, and wide impact range, water diversion projects exhibit delayed and complex benefits, often lacking clear comprehension. In this study, we established a multi-regional comprehensive benefit assessment framework for the IBWT, considering spatiotemporal and multi-dimensional value effects. Using the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) in China as an example, we assessed its comprehensive benefits from 2003 to 2020. The results showed that the comprehensive benefits of the project were USD 207 billion, encompassing economic and ecological benefits, accounting for 71.6% and 28.4%, respectively. In 2020, the benefits of the SNWDP amounted to USD 39.3 billion, with a per-unit area benefit range of USD −1.03 to 4.27. The operation of the SNWDP effectively alleviated groundwater overexploitation in water-receiving areas. However, without the SNWDP, the total loss caused by industrial development limitations due to water scarcity would have been USD 154.3 billion. These results indicate the importance of a practical framework for assessing IWBT project benefits, aiding managers in assessment tasks, and facilitating the prediction and adjustment of project benefits.

Energy efficiency analysis and optimization of heat exchange network under the goal of “double carbon”: a case for production process of isopropyl acetate

ABSTRACT In order to response to the “double carbon” strategy for reducing emissions, chemical production processes were optimized to lower the amount of utility work and equipment investment expenses with increasing the system’s capacity for heat recovery. A sensitivity analysis and the energy efficiency analysis with pinch technique were performed on the distillation and purification of the 30 kt/a isopropyl acetate (IPAC) production process by using process simulation software of Aspen Plus. The IPAC refining tower optimization results show that the purity of the refined IPAC could be reached 99.9% at circumstances of 44 theoretical plates, 19 feed plates, and 0.755 reflux ratio. According to the optimized energy consumption data from Aspen Energy Analyzer (AEA), the cold and heat logistics matching was performed. It can be seen that the heat exchange network was tuned to maximize energy recovery by reducing the amount of utility work. The optimized cold and heat utility usage were 734.69 and 727.81 kW, which meaning that compared with original process, the cold and heat utility usage energy can be save with 10.0%, respectively. The optimized results provide a certain theoretical basis and solution for improving energy saving and reducing investment costs.

Analysis of Developing Commercial Bank Green Finance Programs

Contemporarily, global climate change and the depletion of traditional resources have fueled the rise of environmental awareness, making environmental protection and sustainable development an international trend. The active participation of commercial banks in green finance not only enhances their reputation but also helps to gain social support. The study discusses the importance of commercial banks' active participation in green finance in the context of global environmental protection and sustainability trends. The study highlights the theoretical and practical significance of Chinese commercial banks in green financing, and introduces the policy measures and innovative products of ML City Agricultural and Commercial Bank in promoting green finance in the region. In addition, the article mentions an innovative rural insurance product called "Green Farmer Insurance", which aims to help farmers cope with weather- and environment-related risks and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Theoretically, the green financial business of Chinese commercial banks is relatively lagging, and more relevant theories are needed to enrich and improve it. In fact, under the national strategies of peak carbon and carbon neutrality, green development has become an important theme that requires a large amount of green investment, and financial institutions are the main driving force of green finance.

New approaches to determine the technological challenged of oil fields at the late stage of development

Background: The main problem of the process of field development in the later stages is the limitation of free funds associated with the decline in production and the corresponding decrease in the profitable part of enterprises. At the same time, the accumulated effect of critical production problems is manifested, for the solution of which in practice a significant amount of capital investments is required in different areas of field development.
 The late stage of development of fields is associated with a number of problems, the main of which are the deterioration of the structure of the reserves and the slow pace of their replenishment, low withdrawal rates and high water cut, frequent failure of ground equipment, technological limitations of the production infrastructure, the quality of construction and completion of wells, a short turnaround time of production wells affecting the wells’ operation coefficient, and insufficient coverage of production processes with digitalization.
 Aim: Considering the large amount of work involved in the oil production process (from geology to onshore infrastructure), an internal benchmarking analytical tool is needed to identify current and most common technological challenges, to focus scientific, technical and production personnel in a certain direction and develop a systematic approach to solving production problems. The purpose of this work is to develop such a tool
 Materials and methods: As the input data, historical data on the production, hydrocarbons reserves, the current technological parameters of underground and surface equipment of 12 oil fields of the group of the NK “Kazmunaygaz” JSC companies were used. 17 basic criteria were formed in the areas of geology, development, oil production, drilling and infrastructure, which served as the basis for internal benchmarking of oil fields.
 Results: As a result of this work, a tool was developed for the diagnosis of key production problems of KMG oil fields. The diagnostic chart is effective for determining zones of the spread of production problems both in one oil field and in all oil fields of KMG. This approach can be scaled to the level of oil fields and horizons.
 Conclusion: The developed internal benchmarking tool serves as the basis for the annual analysis of key problems of the oil fields of the group of the NC “KazMunaygaz” JSC companies and the formation of a long -term plan to solve key production challenges.

Comparative Analysis of Regional Socioeconomic Heterogeneous Indicators in the Subjects of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation and Their Integral Assessment

The Arctic Zone of Russian Federation (AZRF) is a unique geography with diverse socioeconomic factors playing significant roles in its stability and progress. In order to accurately assess and evaluate the overall socioeconomic progress of AZRF, the heterogeneous factors should be considered in an integrated manner, which will give a holistic view of the socioeconomic stability and development of the region. The available literature on socioeconomic development of Russian Arctic region however suffers from lack of integrated analysis of heterogeneous indicators. In this article, the authors have selected five heterogeneous indicators which best describe the socioeconomic condition of a given region, which in this case is AZRF and performed integral analysis for the time period 2014–2019. The indicators refer to socioeconomic aspects such as gross regional product and amount of investments received by the region, which in turn leads to changes in employment opportunities and income level of the population along with social benefits available to them. The mathematical instrument used for the analysis is the theory of fuzzy logic in the framework of determination of the subdirect image of a fuzzy set. This method is scalable and can be extended to any number of indicators of diverse nature since the final score will be in the range of [0, 1] making comparison of regions and ranking possible. Using this method, the subjects were ranked at individual indicator level and at holistic level as a result of which the advantages and disadvantages of each subject and the AZRF as a whole were determined. At holistic level, the subjects were ranked as Krasnayarsky Krai, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Republic of Komi, Murmansk Oblast, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Karelia Republic, Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug based on the integral scores obtained.

Technological Innovation Investment Channels of Industry–University–Research Alliance Enterprises and Non-Alliance Enterprises Based on Evolutionary Game

According to their resource ownership and resource acquisition channels, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model of enterprises’ technological innovation investment channels considering managers’ expectations. This results in the strategy of non-alliance firms along the first channel having a significant impact on the evolutionary equilibrium. For non-alliance enterprises, the difference in the amount of investment in the R&D stage has the same impact on the probability of such enterprises following the first channel. The number of active managers, group capacity, the difference in managers’ expectations, and the difference in the amount of technological innovation investment in the R&D stage have significant differences in the possibility of choosing the first channel between the two types of enterprises. The research conclusions can provide valuable references for enterprises to make technological innovation decisions.

Embedded Insurance/Microinsurance in Financial Services: Key to Financial Inclusion

Financial inclusion is a goal vigorously followed by all governments the world over. Nowadays, due to technological progress, the interplay of technology with the provision of financial services is increasingly becoming quite common and yielding the desired results. The Indian technology landscape has moved fast facilitated by a huge amount of public investment. The ‘Unified Payments Interface (UPI) moment’ has become a cliché in financial circles. From the UPI moment in payments, we are now experiencing high growth in lending and insurance. Partnerships between legacy insurers and InsurTech and e-commerce platforms/networks are leading to new competencies and new, innovative insurance products. The study suggests that embedded, personalised and customised insurance products must be experimented with and introduced in government marketplaces which attract many small buyers and suppliers.

Studying the effectiveness of investments in hotel services using customer sentiment analysis

AbstractThe main aim of the article is to assess investments in hotel services in Poland in 2018–2020. The assessment was carried out by examining the correlation between financial outlays in the hotel industry in powiats (counties) and voivodeships of Poland and customer opinions expressed in internet entries on the websites of individual tourist facilities. The methodology for testing the sentiment of text documents is an unsupervised classification algorithm applied to the Polish language. The classification task consists of the unsupervised assignment of a text document to one of three sentiment classes: positive, neutral, or negative. The research is based on opinions collected from 906 hotels and the amount of financial investment in individual hotel segments (categories) in the surveyed years on a powiat basis. Financial investment data were gathered from the official statistical yearbook websites and internet entries were scraped from the websites of individual tourist facilities. The analysis shows a positive relationship between the size of investment in hotel services and the sentiment of customers' opinions. The scientific contribution of the research is threefold. Firstly, an attempt is made to assess the efficiency of investments in hotel services in Poland in recent years. Secondly, the approach applied omits the downsides of other popular models of assessing the quality of services. Thirdly, the algorithm used quite precisely finds the categories required for a different kind or broader analysis of the quality of hotel services.

Community Governance of “Diverse Subjects” in the Context of Aging Population Based on Cultural Embeddedness Theory: Evidence from Beijing in China

The global aging problem is increasing, which makes the issue of “multi-body governance” of aging communities increasingly important. Using cultural embeddedness theory as the theoretical basis, this paper examines the current situation of pluralistic governance in aging communities and its problems using fieldwork and case study methods, taking communities in Beijing, China, as a case study. This paper finds that for the new commercial housing communities, most of the elderly come from foreign countries, and there are difficulties in endogenous cultural embedding due to different cultural backgrounds and ideologies. In the old central enterprise family home-type community, most elderly people have lived here since childhood and formed a consistent ideology. Still, due to the path dependence in the era of the central enterprise management community, the elderly have difficulties in exogenous cultural embeddedness, such as promulgating new policies and collecting fees. Based on this, this paper draws the following three conclusions: firstly, the multi-body governance of aging communities in many countries is currently in its infancy and needs some time to be perfected. Second, the ideology of the elderly greatly influences the cultural embedding of community governance. Third, aging community governance requires a large amount of financial and personnel investment, which is a considerable burden for many developing countries.

Conjectures of British Investment, Tax Revenues, and Deficit Amounts from the Thirteenth to the Nineteenth Century using the Concept of Economic Surplus

This article attempts to estimate trends in the levels of public and private investment, and national government surpluses and deficits from accumulated capital income, taxation, and rents estimated by different economic historians for England and the UK by utilizing the concept of Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy’s economic surplus. The data support historical accounts that income per capita growth begins to increase around the 1600s in Britain, perhaps due to the level of capital, tax, and land income achieving an adequate threshold amount. According to some historians, this would also be about the time of capitalism’s ascent as the dominant economic system in Britain. Even then, dramatic increases in investment and economic growth do not appear until the late eighteenth century when investment and deficits reach even higher levels. The new estimates developed in this article are offered as additional macroeconomic data supplements to works created by other authors and researchers and submitted as a demonstration of the concept of economic surplus and the power of threshold levels of private and public investment. Most of all they also give some support to Baran and Sweezy’s notion of a society’s economic surplus coming from labor exploitation and being used to further investment and government expenditures.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ ИНВЕСТИЦИОННОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА РЕГИОНОВ РФ

This article reveals the essence of the investment climate with its further analysis by regions of our country. In addition, in the course of writing this research paper we have considered the main factors that both reduce the level of investment attractiveness and promote its growth both at the level of individual regions and the country as a whole. Undoubtedly, every investor pays special attention to the competent analysis of strategically important indicators that characterize the feasibility of certain invest-ments. That is, it is very important to understand whether the amount of investment is really comparable to the available investment risks. Thus, due to competent analysis it is possible to calculate both investment potential and investment risks. The first indicator will act as a certain guarantee for market participants. The second indicator serves as a negative factor that reduces the investment attractiveness of a region or country. Accordingly, to eliminate this situation, it is necessary to look for tools that will help to improve the situation in the considered object of research. In addition, in this research paper, we have also analyzed the investment climate of the regions of our country, and identified ways to improve it. Also, in the course of our research activities, we have highlighted the most basic conditions that investors pay attention to. After all, for any investor the main goal is to get profit with minimal losses.

Design of Buck-Boost Converter as A Voltage Stabilizer on Solar Power Plant at PPNS Baruna 01 Crewboat

Electrical energy is one of the most important basic human needs and is used in everyday life in various activities. Over time, the need for electricity will increase due to the increase and development of both the population, the amount of in-vestment and technological developments. The use of coal as the main fuel for power plants is also running low and its existence is not renewable. One solution to deal with these problems is the utilization of renewable energy. One type of re-newable energy that is environmentally friendly in order to meet the needs of electrical energy is solar energy. The existence of solar energy which is very abundant is one solution to reducing fossil fuels, which are currently running low. In PPNS Baruna 01 Crewboat the DC power source used comes from Solar Panels with a total of two pieces and each power is 300WP. As we know solar energy is fluctuating (up and down), therefore a DC-DC converter is needed so that the resulting voltage is stable. The DC-DC converter used in this research is a buck-boost converter. This buck-boost converter is designed with a set point of 14.4V which is then used for battery charging. The components used are 22.5μH inductor, 2275μF capacitor, resistor, diode and mosfet. The simulation results of the buck-boost converter in PSIM software show that the converter is able to work in two modes with an output voltage in accordance with the set point. When buck mode the input voltage is 24V to 14.4V and when boost mode the input voltage is 12V to 14.4V. From the simulation results, the buck-boost converter can be realized on the PLTS in the PPNS Baruna 01 Crewboat.

Факторы, определяющие вклад малого и среднего бизнеса в экономику регионов России

This paper researches the parameters which can influence the development of small and medium-sized business in the regions of the Russian Federation. The theme is relevant because of the Russian government's special attitude to the small and medium-sized entrepreneurship (SME). Nowadays the national project “Small and Medium-Sized Business and Support for Individual Entrepreneurs” takes place, but its result might depend on some features of the regions. The main goal of the research is to find some factors that influence a share of the gross regional product produced by SMEs. For our research the sample includes data of 85 regions of the RF at the end of 2021. After the tests and changes needed, we estimated an econometric equation using OLS method. The independent variables in the model are as follows: a share of urban population which determines the basic conditions for a business, a number of the universities as a characteristic of the opportunities for mastering some professional skills, a wages index and an informal sector employment share, the amount of investment in fixed assets as a level of the regional development, indexes of innovation of a regional economy and SMEs, loans to SMEs, a number of the government's programs to the SMEs support. Statistics were taken from the Federal State Statistics Service publications, information-analytical materials of the Bank of Russia and other sources. The hypothesis of the research is our assumption of the positive influence of the factors under investigation on the dependent variable. The hypothesis was proved partly because not all the factors influence the development of SMEs.

The article presents the methodological foundations of AIC functioning, formation of its potential as an element of strategic space planning. The purpose of the study is to create a methodology that allows us to assess the level of AIC development potential of a federal district, a territorial entity consisting of regions, subjects of the Federation. The potential of the federal district is considered as an aggregate value, which is based on the potentials of its components - the potentials of the regions, set in the form of values resulting from the integration of the elements of the potential, reflecting the current state of AIC in the field of: harvesting and processing of products, investment in fixed capital of AIC, expenditures on scientific research. The algorithm of the methodology implies the calculation of indicators: reflecting the comparison of the rate of transformation of the value of gross output and the rate of change in its physical volume; comparing the rate of change in the amount of investment in the results of applied scientific activity with the rate of change in the value of investment in R&D, which determines the relevance of further investment activity in view of the achieved level of demand for the results of scientific activity. The methodology is intended for researchers whose research is related to solving the problems of regulation of socio-economic development at the local level, at the level of the subject of the Federation and at the macro level for making managerial decisions. The results of the research will serve as methodological tools for assessing the achieved level of development of local territories of the federal district, forecasting the values of components and the level of development of AIC, based on the planned values of indicators of economic development of the territory.

ФАКТОРИ ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНОЇ ПРИВАБЛИВОСТІ УКРАЇНИ

The article examines factors of Ukraine's investment attractiveness and ways of its activation. The modern legislative regulation of the activation of investment activities and the statistical dynamics of investments in the domestic economy are considered. It was noted about the effective legislative incentives of the laws of Ukraine "Regarding risk insurance of investments in Ukraine against war risks" and "On state support of investment projects with significant investments in Ukraine". The main tasks of the legislative decisions of the government during the full-scale military invasion of the occupiers are the activation and support of the innovative environment in Ukraine, the attraction of strategic investors to the domestic economy, and the provision of state support for large investment projects. This especially applies to such branches of the national economy as processing industry, extraction and beneficiation of minerals, transport, logistics, health care, etc. But this support will refer to large investment projects, namely, investment amounts must be equivalent to 12 million euros and the term of implementation of such projects should not exceed 5 years. The most active international companies are noted. Guarantees offered by the domestic government to foreign investors are given. Actual and planned reinvestments since the beginning of the military invasion of Ukraine are given. The international rankings of Ukraine are given. According to the rating compiled on the basis of research by Aswat Damodaran from the Stern School of Business at New York University, Ukraine is among the 20 countries in the world with a high investment risk. The rating was formed with the factors of political risk, economic structure, economic growth prospects, fiscal flexibility, debt burden of the public administration sector, stability of the financial sector, flexibility of monetary policy and gross and net external debt. The areas of activation of investment attractiveness in Ukraine are recommended - in the state and banking systems, and in the sphere of regulation of the market environment.
