Methodology of formation of the state financial policy in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to develop a holistic state financial policy for the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation, including budget, tax and customs instruments for implementing this policy in the current economic conditions. The current financial policy system of the Russian Federation does not take into account the specific conditions of the development of the Arctic, it does not include special measures of state supervision aimed directly at supporting and stimulating the socio-economic development of the Arctic region of the Russian Federation. For Russia, investment projects in the Arctic are not just hydrocarbon production projects on the continental shelf. These projects are designed to ensure national and economic security, develop infrastructure, mineral resources, Arctic production and improve the standards and quality of life of people, including indigenous peoples of the North.The author emphasizes that currently the mechanisms for implementing the state financial policy for the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in terms of the scientific development of the region, the need for financial resources in the priority areas of the development of the Arctic, ways of attracting them and use efficiently, are not working effectively. A method of forming the state financial policy in the Arctic region of the Russian Federation is proposed to ensure sustainable socio-economic development in strategic macro regions and to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the Arctic policy. The article outlines the consistent formation of the mechanisms for regulating macro-regional development, which can take into account the impact of financial investments on the development of the Arctic, resource utilization factors, risk and efficiency. The stages of fiscal, tax, customs, financial and credit development, as well as financial and institutional mechanisms for the implementation of the national fiscal policy in the Arctic region of the Russian Federation were developed.

The Role of Information Technologies in Improving Efficiency of Russian Customs Administration (Based on Results of Sociological Survey)

“…A conservative, inflexible, inherently authoritarian system of public administration, which automatically determines all the clusters of administration in the same form, determines the point nature of innovations in the field of management as well (including the customs). The system allows something, but all the other processes develop along an inertial trajectory, inscribed in institutional logic of Russian social development (Krasulina et al, 2019).…”

“…All that determines the evolutionary trajectory of customs system development to the "service customs". This service nature of customs, which is still quite new for the entire world community and for Russia in particular, defines provision of state (customs) services as its most important function, which does not contradict the structural and functional component of Russian customs system as a state structure designed to promote effective development of foreign trade activities in control and law enforcement activities within certain functional powers (Krasulina et al, 2019;Dmitrieva et al, 2020).…”

In the outlined methodological priorities, customs administration should be considered as a management activity of customs authorities, designed to promote the development of foreign trade, and provide services to persons moving goods and vehicles across the customs border, as well as perform tax, law enforcement and control functions (Solehzoda, 2017;Dmitrieva et al, 2021).…”
