Improvement of forms and methods of financial-economic stimulation in the field of natural resources

Abstract

The article discusses the importance of activating the process of Ukrainian economic integration with the EU countries by ecological and economic development parameters. The main purpose of the study is to justify the directions of improvement of the forms and methods of financial and economic stimulation in the naturalresource sphere. It is revealed that the available forms and methods of financialeconomic stimulation in the field of natural resources in Ukraine are characterized by the low level of efficiency. The important step in the enhancement of the ecological condition of our country will be the active implementing and realization of the ideas of the "green economy" concept. The development of market relations in Ukraine requires the improvement of state and increased influence on the market methods of stimulation of rational environmental use. The authors suggest new forms and methods by which it is possible to increase the efficiency of financial-economic stimulation in the natural-resource sphere of Ukraine due to the development of: private-public partnership; innovative, corporate and international entrepreneurship; decentralization of territorial development; environmental leasing; cooperatives of ecologically oriented industries; capitalization of natural resources; commercialization of scientific research in the environmental field; monopolization of domestic scientific and technological eco-developments in the domestic market, etc. The implementation of these proposals will allow creating the effective system of financial-economic incentives in the natural-resource sphere of the market-type by keeping the general control by the state institutions and strengthening the independent public control. The key role is given to the development of stimulation of public-private partnerships in the natural-resource sphere, which will not only attract additional "green investments" but also set the base for enhancing Ukraine's environmental, economic, and energy security.
