Formulating the Threats and Estimating the Level of Foreign Economic Security of Ukraine

Abstract

The article contains the results of the study on the foreign economic security of Ukraine, at both the theoretical and methodological levels. The concept of «foreign economic security of the country» is defined. The main threats to the foreign economic security are determined and, based on modern developments, a scheme of interconnections between the indicators of foreign economic threats for the country is built. The algorithm of calculating the integral indicator of Ukraine’s foreign economic security is created and the calculations based on the indicators that reflect several characteristics of the economic industries are carried out. According to the calculations’ results, the boundaries and extremes of the integral index values are determined. The fundamental characterization of the current dynamic of the status of foreign economic security of Ukraine is provided. According to the integrated estimation of the integral index, destabilizing factors concerning the foreign economic security of Ukraine are defined.
