ON SUBSTITUTION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF ENSURING ECONOMIC SECURITY AS A COMPONENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

The following key features of ensuring economic security as a component of 
national security are highlighted: 1) systemic, since economic security is part of a 
single system of national security and is interconnected with political, military, 
environmental, energy, information, etc.; 2) it is comprehensive in nature, since it 
covers all sectors of the Ukrainian economy; 3) provision, first of all, is preventive 
in nature, since it is aimed not only at overcoming threats, but also at their early 
detection and prevention; 4) balance of interests, since ensuring economic 
security takes into account the needs of the state, business and citizens to achieve 
sustainable development; 5) it provides for supporting the competitiveness of 
national production and innovative potential; 6) the presence of a certain system 
of indicators and assessment criteria (GDP, debt burden, inflation, unemployment, 
energy dependence, etc.). 
It has been stated that the importance of ensuring economic security as a 
component of national security is undeniable, because not only the material and 
financial well-being of the population depends on the economic stability and 
capabilities of the state, but also the existence of Ukrainian society and the state as 
such, and in wartime this is especially noticeable, when the country's defense capability and the ability of the population to maintain an acceptable standard of 
living in such a difficult situation depend to a large extent on the state of the 
national economy and its ability to effectively resist relevant threats and maintain 
the appropriate qualitative and quantitative indicators.
