The level of national economic security is influenced by many factors. But over the past year and a half, Ukraine has faced new challenges and threats of an unprecedented blow to its economic security from the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. In addition to the above-mentioned threats to Ukraine's economic security, "old" internal problems, one of which is corruption, have had a significant negative impact. Summarizing domestic and foreign scientific theories and empirical studies, the article analyzes the main elements of corruption's impact on economic security and identifies the direct and indirect impact of corruption on economic growth. It is argued that corruption has increased the challenges to the country's economic security due to: a decrease in total investment and a slowdown in economic growth, a reduction in spending on education and health care, a deterioration of infrastructure and taxation, and a decrease in foreign direct investment. The author concludes that it is necessary to systematically develop and implement measures to prevent and combat economic corruption. At the same time, achieving economic security should be an attribute and integral part of the national anti-corruption policy.

“…Relevant information about the monthly salary of a civil servant is sent directly by the accounting department to the tax service department. In Germany, this department monitors the compliance of civil servants' incomes with their standard of living (Ceschel et al, 2022). However, if a German citizen receives any additional income from other sources not related to his/ her main job, in this case the civil servant must submit an annual declaration.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the operation of the control mechanism that regulates the alignment of expenditure and income among civil servants and evaluate the effectiveness of their responsibilities. The study utilizes a blend of theoretical and empirical approaches. Theoretical methods encompass various approaches such as analysis, synthesis, concretization, generalization, the method of analogy and modelling. Empirical methods encompass the scrutiny of civil service practices in Ukraine and other nations, an assessment of legal and scientific literature pertaining to the topic and the production of scientific research and findings. The study uncovers inherent deficiencies in anti-corruption mechanisms pertaining to the civil service and the execution of civil servants’ responsibilities, both domestically in Ukraine and on a global scale. It focuses on analysing the functioning and efficacy of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and the authorized units tasked with the prevention and detection of corruption. The authors assert that Ukraine needs a streamlined system to electronically declare the direct expenses of civil servants. The importance of these findings lies in their capacity to guide future revisions to Ukraine’s current legislation regulating civil service operations. The study establishes a basis for suggesting modifications that can improve the efficiency and efficacy of civil service in the context of anti-corruption efforts.

“…The scourge of corruption 1 has been noted across civilisations, under varying political and economic systems and at all stages of development, for millennia (Ceschel et al, 2022;Klitgaard, 1988;Rose-Ackerman, 1999;Uberti, 2022). A non-exhaustive list of factors that have been theorised to be associated with corruption include poverty, inequality, economic underdevelopment, cultural and demographic factors, different forms of governance structures, historical determinism, a lack of competition, and ethical frameworks associated with individual decision-making and behaviour (see Fisman & Golden, 2017).…”

Research suggests that institutions affect the levels of corruption in a country. We take these arguments a step further and examine whether it is the presence of inclusive institutions and/or the credible and consistent implementation of institutions that matter, as regards corruption. We use a novel approach to theoretically conceptualise and empirically operationalise institutions along two analytically distinct dimensions: the nature of the institutions (the de jure dimension), and the extent to which they are credibly and consistently implemented over time (the de facto dimension), using a panel dataset for 148 countries covering 2012 to 2018. We find that formal institutions are most effective in reducing corruption when the rules are credibly and consistently implemented. Furthermore, this effect appears to operate differently at different levels of national income. The nature of the formal institutions appears important across income levels, but particularly so at the upper middle income level, while the credible and consistent implementation of these institutions is primarily influential at upper middle income levels. We explain why this may be the case and elaborate on the policy implications.
