Economic security of the state: theoretical basics

Introduction. The deepening of globalization processes in the modern world actualizes the issue of ensuring economic security at all levels of the state system. The vulnerability of the national economy to risks and threats is increasing due to the possibility of aggravation of crisis phenomena in the economy, a potential decrease in financial independence, activation of the shadow economy, and an increase in the volume of illegal financial transactions. The activation of European integration processes, the specifics of the functioning of Ukraine's economy during martial law, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic determine the importance of rethinking the theoretical foundations of the state's economic security. Problem Statement. Clarifying the theoretical provisions of economic security: updating the terminological apparatus, and researching the security aspects of the concept of sustainable development. Purpose is to deepen the theoretical provisions of the economic security of the state in the context of the concept of sustainable development, based on the analysis of information from professional sources. Methods. The methods of generalization, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping, abstraction were used in the processing of literary sources and clarification of the terminology of the sphere of economic security. Results. The theoretical prerequisites of economic security in the context of the concept of sustainable development are analyzed. The role of financial monitoring in ensuring economic security has been clarified. Economically safe is a stable state of the state, characterized by the balance of relevant indicators and invulnerability to external and internal threats, which ensures sustainable and effective development based on the observance of national economic interests. The development of the financial monitoring system is inextricably linked with the development of the economic security system, as an integral attribute of Ukraine's sustainable development. Conclusions. Financial transactions involving money laundering are characterized by a global nature, their perception as a problem of one jurisdiction does not correspond to the realities of global economic processes, since no country is able to stop illegal financial flows in full. Countering illegal financial flows requires effective measures at the national and international levels.
