the economy that is balanced, resistant to negative factors, and capable of ensuring
efficient functioning of economy and sustain economic growth.
Presently, national economic security increasingly depends on such factors as its
geopolitical and geo-economic position, the competitiveness of the national economy,
the level of its social and innovative development, scientific and technological
progress, investment attractiveness and human capital. To succeed in the globalised
world, countries need to ensure timely monitoring of emerging dangers and develop
effective counter threat strategies.
The findings of this study suggest that the main threats to Ukraine’s economic
security deal with macroeconomic, financial, foreign trade, investment, energy, social,
demographic, research and development, technological, and food security sectors.
These threats include the country’s disproportionate dependence on the global
economic conditions; insufficient development of the domestic market and continuous
decline of the international trade balance; the energy sector dependence on imports of
oil and gas; social inequality and high disparity in income levels; a drop in health rate;
depopulation; poor quality of domestic agricultural products due to inadequate
warehousing conditions; and unaffordability of certain foods and products for
disadvantaged population groups.
Thus, summing up all the aforementioned impacts on the national economic
security, we conclude that the system of economic security management is a complex
poly-systemic phenomenon requiring purposeful use of all available social, political
and economic resources and ensuring rapid response to all possible dangers and threats
of the global society.
