THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF THE MECHANISM OF STATE REGULATION OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE У статті зазначено, що пріоритетними напрямами зовнішньоекономічної політики України можна вважати забезпечення провідних позицій країни на світових ринках високотехнологічних товарів і послуг, сприяння експорту і досягненню глобальної конкурентоспроможності, інтеграцію держави у глобальну транспортну систему через реалізацію транзитного потенціалу, зміцнення позицій на світовому ринку тощо. Досягнення вказаних цілей є неможливим без розвитку механізмів державного регулювання зовнішньоекономічної діяльності, в тому числі інструментів митно-тарифного і нетарифного регулювання. Встановлено, що державне регулювання зовнішньоекономічної діяльності можна визначити як систему заходів законодавчого, виконавчого і контролюючого характеру, покликаних удосконалити зовнішньоекономічну діяльність в інтересах національної економіки. Наголошено, що державне регулювання зовнішньоекономічної діяльності передбачає створення певних умов та механізмів для ефективного розвитку відносин суб'єктів господарювання, що потребує поєднання безпосереднього законодавчого впливу на експортно-імпортну діяльності підприємств та економічних важелів, таких як податки, мита тощо). Механізм державного регулювання зовнішньоекономічної діяльності являє собою сукупність економічних форм, методів та інструментів, за допомогою яких забезпечується

Urgency of the research. Today's realities of financial relations prove the increasing role of regions in ensuring the social and economic development of the country. Therefore, there is a necessity to assess the budget potential and develop directions for its strengthening Target setting. It is expedient to determine the level of the budget potential of the Ukrainian regions and to develop directions for its strengthening. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. An analysis of published scientific work has shown questions of budgetary potential are investigated by such scientists as S. V. Boiko, A. Ye. Buriachenko, N. S. Pedchenko, L. D. Safonova, V. Yu. Strilets, Ye. O. Malik, S. M. Frolov and others. Taking into account the considerable level of scientific research by these authors, it is necessary to continue research on the application of economic and mathematical methods in the study of financial processes, in our case, the use of cluster analysis to determine the level of budget potential of the regions. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Despite a significant level of theoretical development of budget potential, the following aspects remain unresolved: the methodology for assessing the budget potential of the region, determining the level of budgetary potential, and developing directions for strengthening of budgetary capacity. Therefore, the problem has not lost its relevance today. The research objective. The object of the article is to study the theoretical issues of the budget potential of the Ukrainian regions and methods for its evaluation, the definition of the Ukrainian regions clusters in terms of budget potential. The statement of basic materials. The article substantiates the application of cluster analysis for determining the level of budget potential of the Ukrainian regions, clusters of Ukrainian regions are determined by the level of budget potential using cluster analysis and directions for strengthening the budget potential of regions are developed. Conclusions. One of the priority directions of the Ukrainian regions’ budget study should be statistical and mathematical methods, where a special place should be occupied by cluster analysis.

In the course of the study, it was found that crowdfunding companies follow a certain stage in their functioning and development: choosing a platform; category selection; the wording of the crowdfunding campaign; definition of a financial goal; determination of the project duration; definition of a reward system; creating a video message; description of the project; regular updates; monitoring the fundraising process. By conducting research on the international market, it was found that with a market size of $ 358.28 billion and a share of 85.99%, China is the largest crowdfunding market in the world. Also, it should be noted the Asia-Pacific region, as Australia took 4th place with funding of $ 1.49 billion, and South Korea - 5th place with $ 1.13 billion, we also find other countries in the Asia-Pacific region in the list of the largest crowdfunding countries in the world. The results of our study concluded that there are many players in crowdfunding in Europe, especially in the field of P2P lending, compared with the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region, as a whole it is a small region. The article also notes the advantages and disadvantages of the crowdfunding development in modern conditions of market functioning.

A theoretical and methodological study was carried out to determine the need and features of developing a matrix of food industry capacity for making management decisions in the formation of sustainable development of agroecosystems, which will increase the operational efficiency of companies and food security of the country. The paper uses the following research methods: historical – in the process of studying modern views on understanding the importance of the agricultural sector for the economy; system analysis – when building a model of innovative business improvement. Methods of comparison and analysis of trends – the study of trends in the agricultural sector of Ukraine with the identification of important areas for improving their activities. Methods of financial analysis – for the analytical assessment of financial and economic activities of the investigated enterprises; forecasting methods – to substantiate the expected results of implementing the author's proposals in management practice. It is proposed to take into account the significant difference in the technology of their processing and production (number of advanced technologies used per 100 thousand people). The paper reveals the dependence of production technologies in agriculture on natural and weather conditions (share of technological innovation costs, %). Criteria for innovation skills in the development of agricultural engineering were proposed. The criteria were determined, which were divided into development groups. The tools for constructing a matrix of food industry capacity were substantiated. Note that for each indicator, the optimal value was determined taking into account the sensitivity factor and the rating of enterprises, which determined their place in the matrix. In the course of the study and the matrix of innovative development, the proposed technology was tested at leading domestic enterprises
