DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE SYSTEM.

The object of research is the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the state from the standpoint of analyzing its foreign trade. The perception of the economic security of countries is not yet unambiguous; it is important to study the theoretical foundations of economic security. In the works of the predecessors, the hierarchy of the concept of economic security was determined and the concept of the economic security of the state was proposed. But most research is not comprehensive enough. The components of the country’s economic security are determined through three groups of risks, but such a division does not take into account most of the threats and is not sufficiently detailed and comprehensive. In the scientific works of economists, the methodology, level, indicators are presented as separate aspects of the formation and management of the economic security of the state. Without denying the significant contribution of these developments, the study noted the lack of a unified methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country. Accordingly, this study was aimed at presenting a conceptual approach to the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country, based on the study of international trade and the main statistical indicators of the economy. The study of the level of economic security of the country is based on the use of indicators built on indicators of the state of the country’s economy and its international trade. The paper studies the dynamics of the main socio-economic indicators of the development of the economies of the associated trio of countries: Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. And also the state of economic security of countries and prospects for further development are determined. It has been established that Ukraine in the pre-war period had a better level of economic security than Georgia and Moldova. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
