Diagnostics of the Economic Security of the Industrial Sector of the Region

Abstract

Relevance. The trend of increasing differentiation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in terms of their socio-economic development increases the importance of regional policy, including in the field of ensuring economic security. In the system of regional economic security, a special role is assigned to its industrial component, since at present issues related to the definition and assessment of the industrial development of the region are becoming increasingly relevant. The purpose of the study is to diagnose the industrial component of the region’s economic security and determine its content and functional part in the regional economic security system.Objectives: to prove the relevance of the study, to analyze the industrial component of the region’s economic security through a system of indicators, to justify the conclusions obtained.Methodology. As part of the research, a set of methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, an integrated approach and generalization is used. Using system analysis, the industrial component of economic security is considered as an interconnected system of indicators, the interpretation of which allows us to assess the level of economic security of the region. Methods of an integrated approach and generalization have become the methodological basis for bringing industrial safety indicators to a dimensionless form to determine the degree of distance of indicators from threshold values.Results. During the study, the industrial component of the region's economic security was analyzed through a system of indicators, which is based on basic indicators reflecting key aspects of the socio-economic development of the region. The analysis showed that industrial safety in the region is at a fairly low level, since most indicators are outside the threshold values, which requires a set of measures to mitigate threats to economic security in the region in this area.Conclusions. The results obtained proved that diagnostics of the industrial safety of the region is the most important component of the mechanism for comprehensive provision of economic security, and can be used in forecasting the development of the region.
