Systems of Credit Information Exchange in Ukraine: State and Prospects of Development (p. 246 - 250)
Systems of credit information exchange have strong influence upon development of the credit market, in particular, complete information about a borrower is provided, which allows more accurate assessment of the borrower’s capability to payback the credit, reduction of costs on search for information about the borrower and reduction of payment for the credit, increase of payment discipline of the borrower, reduction of the threat of over-crediting the borrower, demonopolisation of information in the credit market, which makes competition more perfect.

Banking Sector of Ukraine: Realities, Tendencies, Prospects (p. 232 - 236)
The article analyses the modern state of the banking sector of Ukraine, its sources and prospects. It identifies that the main obstacle for stable development is dissociation of banking segments, absence of functional unity and orientation at formation of optimal conditions for satisfaction of financial requirements of the domestic economy. In order to create the efficient banking system it is necessary to introduce new banking supervision standards oriented at specialisation of the banking activity. The banking market should be segmented and both major banks that form the nucleus of the segment and minor ones operating in their niches should co-operate within each segment. Universal banks that have a developed branch network should unite specialised segments. Moreover, it is necessary to introduce changes into the mechanism of application of some instruments of money and loan regulation with respect to specialised banks and introduce some restrictions upon spheres of activity of the foreign capital.

Reformation of Taxation of Income and Added Value in the Context of Legalisation of Financial Flows (p. 262 - 268)
The article is devoted to the study of the potential of taxation tools of legalisation of financial flows. The goal of the article is justification of directions of reformation of taxation of income and added value in the context of legalisation of financial flows in Ukraine. Pursuant to results of the study the article shows that using taxation tools it is possible to legalise and increase both taxation financial flows and a part of the financial flows earlier moved to the shadow sector of economy. First of all, budget receipts from income tax could be increased by means of reduction of this tax evasion. This could be achieved with the help of the mechanism of differentiation of income taxation, namely: application of a reduced income tax rate, which is directed at investments into the fixed capital, and a standard rate for the income distributed for other purposes. This would create conditions when tax evasion becomes unprofitable for tax payers. Second, reducing VAT evasion would result in its growth in budget receipts. To do this it is recommended to use the reduced rate during taxation of food supplies and public transportation services, which would allow reduction of the VAT evasion degree in the sphere of small and medium businesses (not connected with export) that are engaged in these types of activity. The size of the reduced rate is identified by elasticity of the shadow added value and VAT multiplier. Third, it is possible to increase financial flows by means of attraction of a part of financial flows, earlier moved into the shadow economy, into economy and mobilisation into the budget using the mechanism of tax amnesty. Using foreign experience the article justifies optimal conditions of amnesty and size of the rate of income legalisation.

Micro-insurance as the Basis for Development of Voluntary Medical Insurance in Ukraine (p. 268 - 274)
The article analyses the modern state of development of medical insurance in Ukraine and also studies advantages and shortcomings of the use of micro-insurance for popularisation of programmes of voluntary medical insurance and satisfaction of needs in high quality medical services for all layers of the population. It identifies that as of today the Ukrainian healthcare system is at the stage of reformation, mandatory medical insurance is not yet introduced and main consumers of the programmes of voluntary medical insurance are corporate clients. The article considers main constraints of development of medical insurance in Ukraine, including: low level of income of the population; absence of high quality providers of medical services in regions; and insufficient degree of trust of the population to the insurance sphere. The article shows that introduction of micro-insurance would positively influence the development of insurance medicine in the country, would facilitate provision of medical services even for poor citizens and would allow reduction of state budget expenditures on healthcare. The conducted study of restrictions and shortcomings of introduction of micro-insurance allowed identification of the fact that main of them are information asymmetry (unfavourable selection of risks, moral risk and insurance fraud), significant limitation of insurance coverage and difficulties in identifying optimal insurance tariffs.

Improving the System of Risk Management in Ukrainian Banks (p. 274 - 279)
The goal of the article lies in the study of evolution of formation of the risk management system in Ukrainian banks, main instruments, methods of risk management and organisational approaches to formation of subdivisions of risk management and corporate management in banks. Analysing recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, legislative and regulatory acts, which form organisational and methodological requirements by risk management in banks, the article reveals shortcomings of its functioning. The article gives proposals on improvement of riskology in Ukrainian banks, namely: introduction of the requirement for risk assessment and stress testing by banks in the medium-term prospective (up to 3 years), which would reveal risks of realisation of long-term bank programmes, potential losses of receipts and capital due to existing gaps between the terms of performance of obligations by assets and liabilities, etc. In the result of the study the article establishes that in order to realise requirements of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on organisation of subdivisions of risk management in banks, it is necessary to introduce qualification requirements to managers of these services and procedures of their assignment/retirement in co-ordination with the banking supervision service, the status of which in the bank is not lower than managers of the internal audit and financial monitoring services, assignment of whom should be mandatory co-ordinated with NBU.

Reasons and Prerequisites of Goodwill Devaluation in the Ukrainian Banking Sector (p. 302 - 306)
The authors conduct studies of economic prerequisites and factors, which resulted in writing-off significant amounts of goodwill value in Ukrainian banking institutions, which are structural parts of international financial institutions. In the result of analysis of main prerequisites the article identifies external and internal reasons of acknowledgement of devaluation of goodwill in the domestic banking sector. In accordance with the results of the study, the article identifies that acknowledgement of devaluation of goodwill testifies to a negative mood of foreign investors with respect to prospects of business development in the domestic banking market. The article justifies expediency of, separate from goodwill, identification of intangible assets, subject to acknowledgement in the result of unification of banks, in particular the client base of a bank, as an intangible asset with a final date of useful use. It proves that acknowledgement of this asset in the result of unification would allow avoiding significant amounts of write-off of goodwill value under unfavourable economic conditions. The prospect of further studies in this direction is justification of an optimal method of identification of the amount of goodwill devaluation, which would allow avoiding manipulations with financial reporting and would improve quality of presented information about the real financial state of banking institutions.

Factors of Formation of the tax Potential of the Securities Market (p. 327 - 331)
The article is devoted to the problems of identification of factors that influence volumes and dynamics of the tax potential of the securities market. The goal of the article is detection and systematisation of factors of formation and realisation of the tax potential of the securities market. In the result of the conducted study it systemises factors of formation and realisation of the tax potential of the securities market by two groups: economic and legislatory organisational. The main of the economic factors are: state of economic development, degree of the shadow economy, level of savings of the population, level of trust of the population and level of inflation. The article justifies interconnection that exist between the said factors and volumes of the tax potential of the securities market. In particular, it proves that increase of volumes of the shadow economy facilitates reduction of the tax potential of the securities market, since it facilitates outflow of capital from the official sector of economy. Growth of unorganised savings of the population, the volume of which grows proportionally to the growth of the level of distrust of the population to the securities market, has a negative impact on formation of the tax potential of the securities market. Degree of the negative impact of the said factors grows in the event of deterioration of the state of the macro-economic situation and growth of inflation. The legislatory organisational factors are: object, base, rates of taxation of securities trading and the securities market infrastructure. The article proves that low level of infrastructure development could significantly reduce the tax potential of the securities market. The proposed approach to the study of factors of formation of the tax potential gives a possibility to mark out, apart from de-shadowing of operations and expansion of the taxation base, one more direction on increase of the tax potential of the securities market, namely – attraction of free money funds of the population. The prospect of further studies is development of methods of assessment of influence of each of the factors upon dynamics of the tax potential of the securities market.

The goal of the article lies in identification of grounds of interconnection of the financial economy and financial system. The study was conducted with consideration of main provisions of the theory of finance and concept of financial economy, which is a set of means used in the process of reproduction of finance by their owner for formation and / or maintenance of the own system of values in the viable state. For the first time ever the structure of the financial system is identified as an aggregate of financial economies and financial market. The article justifies a necessity of expansion of boundaries of perception of the state financial economy, which is offered to include public financial economy of the state level and the set of financial economies of the state as a subject of economic activity. Such an approach forms a base for justification of the synthesis of participation of the state in financial relations as the owner and as the basic macro-economic regulator. Prospects of further study in this direction are: development of classification of financial economies; revelation of specific features of impact of shadow finance on development of the national financial economy; and assessment of possibilities of inclusion of structured financial products into the system of values of financial economies in Ukraine.

International Approach to Structuring Liquidity of Banking Systems (p. 282 - 286)
The goal of the article is analysis of liquidity as a system category and study of essential transformation of liquidity from the purely banking notion to its wider interpretation as a financial system category on the basis of international approaches in this sphere. The article states that the liquidity notion is one of the fundamental ones in the theory of finance and banking business, but, until now, the issue of the nature of liquidity has not been completely developed yet. The article also states that the system nature of liquidity is expressed, in international practice, in availability of interaction of specific forms of its manifestation, such as the Central Bank liquidity (monetary basis of the economy), market liquidity (inter-bank market and asset market) and financing liquidity (liquidity of institutional units). In the result of the study the article offers such interpretation of the banking system liquidity as a complex dynamic interaction of such elements as the Central Bank liquidity, liquidity of individual banking institutions and markets (both at national and international levels), which ensures execution of their obligations by banks, easy flow of financial resources and their efficient re-distribution between economic subjects, ensuring continuous general growth of economy.

Capital Taxation Tendencies in Ukraine and in the World (p. 295 - 300)
The goal of the article is analysis of the world and domestic tendencies of capital taxation and justification of directions of improvement of capital taxation in Ukraine. The study was carried out with division of taxation of human and material capital. Taxation of human capital in Ukraine is moderate, compared to OECD countries, however, its main load lies on employers, unlike in OECD countries, where it is distributed proportionally between employers and employees. Taking into account a high level of shadow income of the citizens, it is too early to perform this re-distribution in Ukraine, that is why it is expedient to reduce rates of the single social contribution by employers, at the same time increasing the level of natural resources taxation, which, in Ukraine, is one of the lowest in the world. Ukraine, compared to OECD countries, is characterised with a higher level of profit taxation, which has a negative impact on increasing own capital and restoration of fixed assets. Taking into account tendencies to reduction of both standard and implicit rates of profit tax abroad, we offer to develop a mechanism of reduction of the implicit profit tax rate through improvement of the mechanism of charging depreciation and strengthening regulating effects of the profit tax on profit in the context of restoration of the fixed assets. The prospect of further studies is justification of proposals regarding changing the mechanisms of charging depreciation and profit taxation preferences.

Factors of Selection of the Stock Allocation Method (p. 311 - 316)
The article describes results of the author’s study of factors of making strategic decisions on selection of methods of stock allocation by public joint stock companies in Ukraine. The author used the Random forest mathematical apparatus of classification trees building and also informal methods. The article analyses the reasons that restrain public allocation of stock. It shows significant influence upon selection of a method of stock allocation of such factors as capital concentration, balance rate of corporate rights, sector of economy and significant participation of the institutes of common investment or the state in the authorised capital. The built hierarchical model of classification of factors of the issuing policy of joint stock companies finds logical justification in specific features of the institutional environment, however, it does not fit into the framework of the classical concept of the market economy. The model could be used both for formation of goals of corporate financial strategies and in the process of improvement of state regulation of activity of securities issuers. The prospect of further studies in this direction is identification of transformation of factors of selection of the stock allocation method under conditions of revival of the stock market.

Legal Instruments of Regulation of Development of Banking Activity in Ukraine (p. 325 - 329)
The article considers main approaches to identification of essence of legal instruments of regulation of development of the banking activity, identifies the mechanism of legal regulation of the banking activity and its elements and justifies the system and form of legal regulation of the banking activity in Ukraine. It describes subjects of legal regulation of the banking activity at the international level, which are the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, European Central Bank, IMF, International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation and others. The article considers specific features of the regulatory requirements of Basel II and Basel III and specific features of their introduction into the banking activity. It describes anti-cyclic measures offered by the Basel Committee, which should facilitate formation of such conditions, under which the banking sector could have a lower level of leverage and stability with respect to influence of system risks. Significant attention is paid to international instruments of regulation of the banking activity, which include the following legal acts: Uniform Rules for Collections, Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, and Unified Rules for Loan Guarantees.

Safety of Municipal Loan in Ukraine (p. 329 - 333)
The goal of the article is justification of the necessity of legal regulation of actions of the bodies of local self-government when detecting signs of insolvency. Each stage of municipal loans management is analysed from the point of view of availability of legal rules, which do not allow making municipal loans by territorial communities of the cities with weak financial state or regulate sequence of actions of municipalities in default times. The following results were obtained: majority of legal restrictions in the sphere of local finance management are directed at prevention of ungrounded loans or have the form of sanctions, applied to local bodies, which perform their debt obligations with delay; the state formally controls the process of making municipal loans, avoiding financial responsibility; the national legislation does not contain the mechanism of regulation of actions of territorial communities, which experience difficulties when performing debt obligations. The article proves expediency of adoption of a uniform regulatory-legal act in Ukraine, which would regulate all economic relations connected with making municipal loans. This legal document shall contain a section about actions of the municipality-debtor when signs of default start to appear, announcement of default and declaration of the debtor insolvent (bankrupt). The article recommends the following structure of this section: regulation of the procedure of default announcement avoidance; announcement of default with the pre-trial restoration of the debtor’s solvency; and announcement of default with declaring the debtor bankrupt juridically.

Ensuring the Process of Realisation of Financial Planning of Banking Activity (p. 345 - 350)
The article studies theoretical aspects of the process of realisation of financial planning of the bank’s activity and identifies and justifies its six main stages: 1) goal formation stage; 2) preparation stage; 3) assessment; 4) financial plan approval; 5) financial plan execution, and 6) stage of the financial plan monitoring, control and adjustment. The above sequence of stages of the process of realisation of financial planning of the bank’s activity allows a trustworthy assessment of the bank’s activity environment, formation of specific goals and tasks of the bank’s activity, and also to determine the ways of their achievement, and so on. The result of the process of realisation of financial planning of the bank’s activity is the bank’s financial plan, which is proposed to divide into four sub-sections: plan of the bank’s assets and liabilities; plan of the bank’s receipts and expenditures; plan of the bank’s cash flows; and plan of forecast values of basic financial indicators of the bank’s activity.

Dominant Indicators of Bank Crises: Comparative Analysis for States with Different Levels of Economic Development (p. 351 - 358)
The article is devoted to identification of common and distinctive regularities of development of banking systems with different levels of development of economy through study of the most important macro-economic and financial indicators. The article uses instruments of the applied statistics. The study is based on comparison of mean values of indicators in two groups of countries (countries with a high level of income and countries with a medium level of income), each of which is divided into two sub-groups based on whether there was banking crisis in 2008 or not. In the result of the study the article shows that there are both common and distinctive features of development of banking systems of countries with different levels of economic development. Thus, a typical scenario, characteristic for countries with developed economy that had banking crisis in 2008, includes availability of a relatively large-scale crediting of the economy under conditions of relatively low rates of economic growth and close connections of the national banking systems with banking systems of other countries. Development of banking systems of developing countries during the pre-crisis period is characterised with the following specific features: relatively high rates of growth of scales of crediting of the economy and high rates of economic growth under conditions of use of significant volumes of resources, borrowed in financial markets, and close connection of the national banking systems with banking systems of other countries. The study allows a more efficient use of experience of states with developed economy, since the described results give a possibility to adjust experience of other states, taking into account characteristic features of banking systems of developing countries. Also the study identified states, experience of which should be studied. The conducted analysis of interrelations of indicators could be used for building models of assessment of sustainability of banking systems. The article is not an exhaustive study, but it shows possibilities for further studies in this direction, outlining the most important and clearly expressed specific features of development of banking systems of states with different level of economic development in the pre-crisis period.

Modern State and Prospects of Development of the Network of Banks Branches in Ukraine (p. 359 - 364)
The article studies the current state of the network of banks branches in Ukraine, identifies main reasons of reduction of the number of branches and branch departments, and identifies positive and negative consequences of this reduction for various subjects. Thus, in the course of recent years the banking system of Ukraine shows gradual reduction of branches and branch departments. Moreover, the number of bank departments reduces faster than the number of bank branches, taking also into account the fact that it is quite popular to transform banks branches into departments on a non-balance basis. In this event the main reasons of reduction of the network of banks branches are the following: tendency to reduce costs and increase the level of profitability of the banking activity, transfer to the remote servicing of clients, which does not require availability of a significant number of structural subdivisions of banks in the territory of the whole country and others. The author formulates consequences of reduction of the number of banks branches and departments with respect to three groups of subjects – for the banks themselves, for the banks’ clients and for the banks’ employees. It should be noted that the process of reduction of the network of banks branches is important and required today, but it brings negative consequences for some of the subjects. The author studies prospects of development of the network of banks branches in Ukraine and underlines the problem of transition of banks to remote servicing of clients. In particular, remote servicing of clients is popular today in the banking practice of developed countries, which requires mandatory introduction of their experience into the domestic practice.

Tax Efficiency of Ukrainian Regions: Problems and Prospects (p. 361 - 365)
The article shows that the principle of tax fairness, which is a mandatory condition of development of a competitive environment, requires levelling of tax efficiency of enterprises of different sizes of different branches of economy and regions. The problems of increase of responsibility of the local power for regional development and decentralisation of the budget system require expansion of authorities of the local power with respect to active influence upon the tax base in regions. The article describes a methodical approach to calculation of tax efficiency of regions. It analyses dynamics and level of the general tax efficiency and income tax efficiency and added value efficiency by the gross regional product. The article reveals similarities and differences of regional and all-Ukrainian tendencies of change of the tax efficiency on the basis of the correlation and regression analysis. It identifies immanent features of the income tax and value added tax based on the regional aspect, which are recommended to take into account when forming local budgets. Taking into account the basic specific weight of the income tax in formation of budget receipts and also detected immanent features of the income tax, the article offers to leave a certain part of tax receipts with local budgets. This would prompt local authorities to stimulate profitable activity of enterprises and would facilitate, on the one hand, growth of receipts of this tax and, on the other hand, reduction of significant regional differentiations.

Problems of Introduction of Management by Objectives of Budget Planning in Securing Public Needs (p. 376 - 381)
The article analyses the modern state and prospects of introduction of management by objectives of budget planning in Ukraine. It identifies key features of the management by objectives and also requirements to development of budget programmes. On this basis the article holds regarding differences of the Ukrainian experience of budget planning from its theoretical grounds. It shows that consideration of urgent but not satisfied needs of the population should be a pre-requisite of introduction of budget programmes. Using example of Rivne oblast the article conducts rating of public needs established by the author in the process of a sociological questioning of population of the region with participation of Main Department of Statistics in Rivne oblast on the basis of sampling formed for study of living conditions of households, which allows assuming that the obtained results are authentic. The article establishes incorrespondence between the programme measures and needs of the population. And the key pre-requisite of the imbalance of public interests and directions of budget planning is absence of an efficient social dialogue between the power and society. Consequently, shortcomings, formed at the stage of planning, continue at the stage of public control of use of funds, which is restricted in accordance with existing principles of reflection of information at official web-sites of bodies of the regional power. The article gives positive examples of information interaction of the power and civil society with justification of possible ways of its strengthening. It shows that development of partner relations of power and regional communities is impossible without taking into account attitude of the population regarding priorities of regional development, brought to realisation in the form of financing on the basis of management by objectives use of funds of tax payers.

Ontology of the Nature and Essence of the Systemically Important Banks (p. 363 - 369)
The goal of the article is identification of factors of establishment and formation of the essence of the systemically important banks. The article conducts a retrospective analysis of evolution of the systemically important banks. It identifies the consecutive and logical process of genesis of banks from private to national and systemically important banks, which allows determination of the economic nature of systemically important banks, which are highly important today not only for their countries but for the whole global financial system. The article considers approaches of foreign scientists and international organisations on regulation of banking activity in the context of the essence of systemically important banks. The result of the study is identification of main stages of genesis of systemically important banks: origination, establishment and development. The article marks out main features and dominants by each stage of evolution of systemically important banks.

The article shows that the “system bank” notion reflects national systemically important banks best of all in accordance with international standards. The study is prospective since its problems are new. Namely: securing a single definition of systemically important banks at the legislation level, development of methodology of identification of national systemically important banks, establishment of a specialised department at the level of the central bank for regulating activity of systemically important banks.

Global Diversification of the Securities Portfolio Using the Exchange-traded Funds (p. 303 - 308)
The article investigates the securities portfolios diversified across asset classes and geographically. The works of researchers who have studied separately the portfolio diversification according to asset classes such as real estate, hedge funds or commodities, as well as geographical diversification in 1990–2004 years were examined. In our study, in contrast to previous authors, to diversify exchange-traded funds (ETF) were used, which are modern and practical way to invest in different countries and asset classes. Diversification across asset classes in 2009–2013 using ETF was investigated, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Also the portfolios were constructed with global diversification by adding funds that invest in the markets of developed and developing countries. Rates of return and risk of diversified portfolios were analyzed and the efficient frontier of Markowitz was constructed. The phenomenon of increased volatility in funds investing in markets outside the U.S. was studied, which is caused by the influence of exchange rate fluctuations, but it is shown that in practice it is impossible to ignore this increase. Conclusions about the feasibility of using ETF for global diversification were made.

Evolution and Development Preconditions of the Non-Bank Financial Institutions in Ukraine (p. 260 - 265)
The article studies the evolution of the development of the non-bank financial institutions since their origination on the territory of modern Ukraine until the present time. This study show the possibility of perceiving the population as the main provider of investment resources through non-bank financial intermediaries as well as the other financial institutions, other than banks. Thus, certain non-bank financial institutions in one form or another existed on the territory of modern Ukraine beginning from the 16 century. With the advent of Soviet power the functions of the financial intermediaries were atrophied or twisted, that resulted in the distorted essence of the non-bank financial institutions. The insurance institute still existed and developed in the Soviet era. This explains the fact, that insurance services are the most common among other non-bank financial services. Some agencies (joint investment institutions and non-governmental pension funds) are new to the modern financial market. Their development is slowed down due to macroeconomic instability, which greatly undermines the credibility of the financial institutions on the part of investors. So, users of the financial services in Ukraine are loyal to the emergence of new financial institutions on the market, but they do not tolerate variations in exchange rates, inflation, decline in living standards etc. Therefore the successful functioning of the financial market as a whole requires some other approaches on the part of the public policy aimed at the macroeconomic stabilization.

Nonstate Pension Savings: Discussion Issues of the Tax Incentives and Disincentives in Ukraine (p. 292 - 297)
The aim of the article is to evaluate the impact of taxation on the activities of the nonstate pension funds (NPF), the behavior of their depositors and participants, to ground the possible ways of reforming the tax law of Ukraine concerning taxation of the pension savings in the NPF and the users of their financial services. In the article the current stage of taxation in the field of the financial services of the NPF in Ukraine is analyzed. It was reasoned, that the introduction of the defined contribution pension systems in the different countries is always accompanied by establishing of a comprehensive balanced system of taxation of both offerers and consumers of the financial services. It was determined that tax innovations have the ambiguous impact on activities of the NPF in Ukraine. The most destructive norms are: «special tax» on securities trading, which discourages the active management of the investment portfolio of the NPF and leads to additional costs in the operations with a large part of the active assets of the NPF; the execution of the general charging order on the tax and other mandatory payments for the NPF; tax regime of the personal income set for the retirement savings at the stage of the outpayments and inheritance. The necessity of the subsequent changes in the tax laws were proved: removal of mechanisms for the indirect seizure of the pension savings of citizens through the «special tax» on securities trading; exclusion of the possibility of blocking the activity of NPF and of the endamagement from the stop of their performance by the tax authorities; regulation of the legal norms concerning the taxation regime of the personal income tax on the pension payments to the nonstate pension system and the rules governing such payments in special legislation; application of the preferential tax regimes only to persons who have reached State pension age or are incapacitated according to the law; application of the reduced (concessionary) rates of taxation on the inherited nonstate pension savings only if the target destination remains unchanged.

Information Function of Finance: Understanding of its Nature in the Light of Modern Information Paradigm (p. 337 - 344)
The article is aimed to study the information function of finance, based on considerations of modern information paradigm. The article concluded that not only distributive function but also information function is inherent in finance, and the both functions are implemented in close interacting. The substance of the information function of finance is that financial relations always include information about the monetary value of the object of these relations. Because the financial relations include the information about the cost (monetary) cross-section of the social product, processes as to product's distribution and redistribution can arise between the parties to those relations (economic agents, users of information). For distribution and redistribution of the social product, the corresponding information is needed, and thus the information function allows the society to evaluate the values flows, to plan and control them. A problem (challenge) for the society is that the information used does not reflect to the full extent the information which the financial relations bring along. Because understanding the information function lies in the ideological plane, a study of financial relations through the prism of the informational paradigm, in the time of the information society and its innovative economy, opens up new perspectives for the worldwide using of finance. Awareness of immanence of the information function in relation to the financing sets an important basis for effective targeted search for ways to maximum (extraction) financial relationships. This approach will contribute to building of more effective economic relations in the modern information society, it will also contribute to the minimization of information asymmetry in financial relations, and, consequently, of the associated risks.

The article is aimed at identifying of general trends and factors that predetermine the process of demutualization, the study of transformation of the mutual and cooperative insurance organizations into the joint-stock structures and substantiating of future prospects for the development of non-commercial forms of insurance in the international markets of insurance services. Analysis of trends of development of the mutual insurance societies and insurance cooperatives creates background for stating, that an important topic for the above organizations is to find alternative sources of funding in order to maintain competitiveness and to increase their share in the market of insurance services in circumstances of the increasingly competitive and globalized market relations. This leads to demutualization, which is determined by the majority of scientists as a process of sharing, based on the change in ownership form of the non-profit societies as well as departure of the property from the control of the co-owners. While implementing new strategies, organizations operating on the principles of mutuality, are forced to adapt to market conditions through the establishment of new organizational and legal forms of insurance: joint-stock or mutual holding companies. One of the specific features of these structures is the attempt to derive advantages from the companies targeting investors, primarily in the sphere of attracting capital, while preserving the mutual or cooperative status. According to the analytical review of international insurance markets, most non-profit insurance organizations have managed to overcome the crisis of sharing. Dynamics and development trends of mutual insurance societies and insurance cooperatives witness their competitiveness in the market of insurance services, which allows to speak of the prospect for further development of the non-commercial forms of insurance. The possibilities of introducing them into the Ukrainian practice require further scientific research.

Integrated Estimation of the Security of Insurance Market in Ukraine (p. 223 - 228)
The article presents the authors' definition of the category of «insurance market security», taking into account the interaction of development processes at the micro and macro levels of the management hierarchy system. An estimation of the security level of the insurance market of Ukraine has been carried out with revealing the most significant threats to the development of the insurance sector of the national economy. The basic directions of strengthening the domestic insurance market security in the current conditions of transformation of the economy of Ukraine have been substantiated. Results of the study showed improved security of the insurance market of Ukraine for the time span of 2009-2013. At the same time, the statistical values of the indicators, which are stimulants of the insurance market security, during this period did not meet the criteria of safety and were significantly below the mandatory threshold values. This shows that the domestic insurance market is not able to fully perform their functions related to compensation of losses of economic agents, is used to launder funds, reduce the tax burden, and does not play a prominent role in the terms of the national economy. As for the indicators-disincentives, their changes were not relevant and within the normal range, which can be seen as positive factor. The integrated indicator of insurance market security has proven to be the most sensitive to changes in the long-term insurance share in the total volume the of collected insurance premiums and very sensitive to the change of the indicator of premium rate, belonging to the non-resident re-insurers. The authors believe that the main directions of improving security of the Ukrainian insurance market should focus on optimizing these indicators.

Both the centralized approach (mobilization of funds into the budget, special fund, national fund) and the decentralized approach (mobilization of funds into private institutions) of financial support of health insurance have been considered. The key tools (financial, institutional, organizational) of the countries in question, by means of which success had been achieved in the establishment of a more effective and equitable financial support of health insurance, were characterized. On the basis of inter-country comparisons has been proven that there is no «universal» model of health insurance in practice, so that development of public policy in this area should take into account the socio-political, socio-economic and socio-geographical characteristics of each country.

Aiming to regain or increase confidence, various measures should be taken, including increasing people's financial literacy, special actions for prevention of frauds and so forth. In this article, using the methods of accounting and economic analysis, the difference between financial pyramid schemes and the regular banks is displayed. Also, keeping in mind research interests of the author concerning the functioning of electronic money systems, the conclusions in the article should be considered as a scientific basis to enhance the credibility towards this mean of payment, understanding that the right to issue electronic money in Ukraine is exclusive to banks, and the principles of constructing the financial pyramid schemes and the electronic money systems differ fundamentally.

The article was written with aim of implementation of periodization of development of securities market in Ukraine, which depends on the dominant forms of existence of securities as well as estimation of depository institutions' activities at the post-documentary stage of development. A periodization of development of the securities market in Ukraine has been carried out on the basis of allocation of three following stages in its development: documentary (1991-1996); transitional (1997 – October of 2013); post-documentary (October of 2013 – present).

Efficiency of Financial Monitoring (p. 199 - 203)
The study is aimed at theoretical substantiation of the notion of «efficiency of financial monitoring» (based on an analysis of indicators of financial monitoring), identifying indicators that characterize as well as the factors that affect this efficiency. As an indicator for efficiency of financial monitoring has been proposed to calculate the proportion of total costs for maintenance of the State financial monitoring service of Ukraine to the value of the exempt property and assets. It has been proven that an integral characteristic of financial monitoring is its efficiency, the latter should be considered in two aspects: social and economic. The social efficiency depends on the amount of funds which, based on the results of financial monitoring, has been returned to the State budget of Ukraine and is aimed at social spending. Economic efficiency is characterized by the quality of the use of resources (material, labor, financial). The principles, on which an effective financial monitoring should be based are determined as: comprehensiveness, universality, accessibility. The author's method of determining the indicators for efficiency of financial monitoring on the basis of the theory of additive value, which synthesizes key performance indicators for all its actors, has been proposed. The proposed method of determining the efficiency of financial monitoring not only helps to identify the real status on the basis of direct indicators, but also, through the quantitative and qualitative factors, – to find reserves for increasing this efficiency.

Evaluation of Sufficiency of the International Reserves of Ukraine and Possible Sources for Replenishment (p. 235 - 240)
The article is aimed to evaluate the sufficiency level of the international reserves of Ukraine, analyze the main ways of preserving the reserve assets as well as identifying possible sources for replenishment during the crisis period. The authors suggested to differentiate between the concepts of «sufficiency» of international reserves and their «optimality». The article analyzes the main advantages and disadvantages of current approaches to substantiation of sufficiency and optimality of reserve assets. The level of sufficiency of the international reserves of Ukraine has been calculated, using traditional criteria (covering the import, short-term debt, money supply) together with the combined criterion of the IMF. It has been concluded that at the end of the first quarter of 2015 reserve assets were not sufficient for all the considered criteria, aside from the monetary coverage criterion, not so much because of their growth, as because of reduction in the money supply in US-dollar terms owing to the devaluation of hryvnia. To locate possible sources for replenishment of the international reserves, the data of balance-of-payments of Ukraine as well as dynamics of reserve assets of several countries with transition economies in the period of the global crisis have been analyzed. It has been concluded that, at the present moment, the only source of external foreign currency resources is financial assistance, which is provided in terms of the program of cooperation with the IMF. To save the reserves, relationships with the countries-importers of Ukrainian goods need to be expanded as well as swap agreements should be concluded. Among the domestic sources of foreign currency resources, the currency and deposits of the non-bank economy sector can be considered as well, though the use of this resource is complicated by the mistrust in the Government and the banking system, significant devaluation and inflationary risks.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between the Intensity of the Banking Activities Regulation and the Profitability of Individual Banks (p. 241 - 247)
The article carries out an evaluation of the relationship between the intensity of regulation of banking activities and the profitability of individual banks. The survey included 110 banks from 6 countries (Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Estonia, Belarus), allowing to take into account differences in the regulation of banking systems between countries, as well as specific features of operation for individual banks. The study was carried out in the interim of 2001-2013.

This indicator allows to not only detect the presence of a positive financial result of operation, but also to examine its level as to the extent of the banking system, reflects the degree of satisfaction of interests of the bank's owners. An evaluation is based on the profit after taxation, which helps to reflect the net economic effect of the bank's activities. Accordingly, the option that reflects the level of regulation is represented by the integrated indicator of intensity of banking activities regulation, calculated in terms of the countries, the banks of which were included in the survey. On the basis of the carried out calculations, the author has come to the conclusion that intensity of banking activities regulation has an important relationship with dynamics of the profitability of banks. Regarding this, attention should be drawn to the fact that individual banks show positive impacts of intensive regulation of banking activities, maintaining their stable profit in crisis conditions. Further research by the author will be aimed at the impact of the intensity and the directions of banking regulation on stability of the banking system in Ukraine and other world countries.

Both the optimum and the safe ranges have been determined. Recommendations for using the monetary macro-financial indicators when calculating the integral indicator of the economic security of Ukraine have been generated. Risks by the directions that were not included in the existing methodology have been identified, indicators for their evaluation have been selected, as well as related rationing and prioritization have been carried out. Further research in this area will be developing a methodology for the practical implementation of the proposed integrated indicator as a component of system of the macro-financial indicators in the process of management of the public finances of Ukraine.

System Analysis of the Profitability of Banks in Ukraine (p. 308 - 313)
The article is aimed at improving the methodological and scientific-practical approaches to the system analysis of the profitability of banks. The developed methodological approaches are based on the international standards and the use of economic-statistical methods. The multi-factor regression models, which have been built, have enabled a quantification of impact of the factor indicators on the outcome indicators of banks in Ukraine, establishing the similarity of behavior of banks during financial crises in different periods, as well as disclosing the relationship between the level of profitability and the liquidity of banks. The proposed model of the system analysis of the return on assets provides for the ability to quantitatively measure the impact of factor indicators on the profitability of assets, determine the causes of the growth or the deteriorating of the indicator of the profitability of assets. The developed approach is based on the use of the effective indicators – return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) in complex with the factor indicators. The use of the proposed approach in practice allows to identify trends and the main factors affecting the profitability, compare the results of the operation between the Ukrainian banks as well as with international banks and identify ways of enhancing their efficiency.

Problems and Prospects of Introduction of the Inflation Targeting in Ukraine (p. 318 - 323)
The article is aimed at studying the practices of using the mode of inflation targeting by the developed world countries, defining the advantages and disadvantages of its use. Possibilities of introducing the inflation targeting mode in Ukraine and the order of necessary measures that would provide introducing a «simplified mode» of inflation targeting have been determined. The author substantiates that targeting the exchange rate by the National Bank of Ukraine (in the late 2014 or early 2015) has showed its ineffectiveness, in particular, the impossibility of achieving price stability, interest rates, rise of inflation expectations, increasing instability of the economy as a whole. With the benefit of international experience in this regard, the author points out that it is important to not only learn, but also to modernize the inflation targeting mode, adapting it to the domestic circumstances. For the introduction of inflation targeting is necessary to improve the mechanism for fixation of inflation, that is, to abandon the fixation of other indicators, in particular exchange rate, as well as introduce appropriate monetary instruments, foremost among which is the short-term interest rate. In the publication is proved that the move to a new strategy of monetary policy should be carried out gradually, i.e., first by entering the «simple» mode, and subsequently implementing the full-scale inflation targeting.

As disadvantage of the procedure of land value taxation is considered that their normative value was set more than 20 years ago, and the provided procedure of its indexation against the inflation rate does not take into account changes that the grain markets have undergone. As the disadvantages of real estate taxation, other than land value, can be classified the order of setting the tax rates as a percentage of the minimum wage, which is not related to the object of taxation. In determining the tax base, it is proposed to take into consideration the market value of property, as is customary in most countries. To improve the taxation of vehicles, it is proposed to expand the list of related tax payers, and to consider as objects of taxation not only land transport, but also vessels and aircraft.

The article is concerned with evaluating preconditions for the development of real estate taxation and substantiation of prospects for modernization of the taxes on real estate in Ukraine. It has been substantiated that an examination of the preconditions for development of the taxation on real estate in Ukraine should be carried out separately for land estate and for property other than land estate.

There are also preconditions for both residential and commercial property taxation, though the tax base should be not the real estate area, but its estimated value. In general, there are sufficient preconditions for taxation of both components of real estate, provided that gradual transition from taxation of the real estate area to its value will be implemented.

Scientific-Methodical Approach to Forecasting Yield on Stocks, Taking into Account Investment Risks (p. 288 - 292)
The article determines that forecasting yield on stock transactions should be understood as such that by investing some money in the shares of another enterprise, the new shareholder acquires the right to part of the joint stock company assets, in proportion to the purchased shares in the authorized capital. Additionally, with getting hold of common shares, the issuer expects to receive part of the profits of a joint-stock company in the form of dividends, if the results of the financial year are positive and a decision about the size and order of dividends payment has been made at the shareholders' general meeting. It is emphasized that possibility of receiving income is expected in the future, while the investment is being made at the present moment. As a result, using the postulate of «money today are more expensive than money tomorrow», the investor needs to mathematically calculate the economic efficiency of his investments. A calculation of settlement (real) value, based on the theory of simple and compound interests in the relevant section of financial mathematics, has been proposed; possibilities of adjustment with due regard to investment risks have been considered.

A Ranking System for Evaluating the Reliability of Commercial Bank (p. 293 - 298)
The article is aimed at studying the substance of bank reliability and developing a rating methodology for evaluating the reliability of banking institution, which will be comparable to the current economic situation. The article proposes a ranking system for evaluating the reliability of banks, based on estimation of score values of indicators of financial performance, which then are multiplied by the weighting factor. An algorithm for calculating such a reliability rating of bank, consisting of seven stages, has been determined. A bank reliability rating is calculated on the basis of 20 quantitative plus 1 qualitative indicators, by means of which are evaluated: liquidity and solvency of bank; financial stability; profitability; capital adequacy; quality of risk management and quality of the loan portfolio. The weighing coefficients are determined on the basis of importance of an indicator while ensuring bank stability and ability to fulfill its obligations towards depositors, lenders or investors. It has been found that for evaluating the reliability of banks the further four quality indicators will be required, which have a negative impact on the reliability and liquidity of bank. On the results of the calculation of reliability rating, the author has suggested to group the largest banks of Ukraine according to the following 4 classes: class «А» – the most reliable banks; class «В» – trusted banks; class «С» – less reliable banks; class «D» – unreliable banks. The proposed methodology allows to neutralize the influence of certain factors on the reliability of bank and gives the mobility to the rating management when external conditions are changed.

Features of VAT in Ukraine in the Context of Convergence with the European Legislation (p. 214 - 219)
The article is aimed to identify the characteristics of VAT and substantiate its rate in Ukraine from the positions of convergence of national legislation with the EU tax legislation. An analysis of VAT as the main indirect budgetary revenue generating tax in both the EU Member States and Ukraine has been carried out. It has been found that the VAT rate, equal to 20% and 21%, is the most prevalent in the EU. In addition to the general VAT rate, in the EU Member States are also used reduced, super-reduced and zero rates.

It has been substantiated that in the conditions of social-economic instability using the legally established in Ukraine overall and reduced VAT rate contributes to decreasing the risk of a shortfall in budgetary revenues and does not contradict the process of gradual convergence of the national legislation with the EU requirements. Increased implicit VAT rate contributes to rising tax revenues, aided by changes in tax administration in the context of implementation of the EU directives.

It has been proven that the necessary conditions for the efficient decentralization of the State administrating are provided by creating a legal framework for decentralization, which clearly defines the rights and responsibilities of the various levels of power. A conclusion has been formulated, according to which priority for use of institutional regulation is that each one of the directions for establishing conditions of stable human development does not develop spontaneously, but is clearly and purposefully guided – with appropriate performance indicators. It is characteristic that the management process is organized vertically and hierarchically, while basis of such relations is seen as paternalism of the subsequent towards the preceding hierarchy elements. A similar structure can be defined as a system, which is not conducive to manifestation of conscious society initiatives in any area in particular and in the State as a whole. Opposition of the institutional regulation to the so-called «manual» regulation is the opposition of the hierarchically single-centre management verticals to the vertically decentralized block management systems together with the decentralized network management systems, which are more relevant to objectives of human development in the face of contemporary challenges.

The Concept of Capital Structure in the Modern Finance Theory (p. 232 - 238)
The article offers a critical look at the usage of notion of capital structure in the post-Soviet countries. This notion was adopted in formalistic manner, without full understanding of the ideas and conceptions, on which it is based.

A Comparison of Mechanisms for Ensuring Financial Stability Both in Ukraine and in the Developed Countries in the Context of Crisis (p. 186 - 191)
The article is aimed at studying differences in the mechanisms for surmounting the financial-economic crisis of 2008-2009 for both the developing and the developed countries. This will provide for evaluating the efficiency of the anti-crisis measures, which are introduced in the macro-economic systems with different levels of development. The article compares the mechanisms for macroeconomic regulation in Ukraine and in Switzerland during the crisis of 2008 and in the post-crisis period. It has been found that both countries used the Keynesian concept of anti-crisis measures. However, in the post-crisis period Switzerland managed to reach the macroeconomic and financial stability, while the Ukrainian economy has moved into the phase of stagflation. Evolution of stagflation processes in the 2014-2015 timeframe in Ukraine prompted the Government's move to the monetary policy of anti-crisis actions. It is concluded that the Keynesian concept of surmounting the crisis has justified itself in the developed countries, while the developing countries are forced to move to monetary financial stabilization mechanisms. Further research should detect the specific factors and differences between Switzerland and Ukraine, which lead to different results when implementing an essentially identical anti-crisis mechanism for ensuring financial stability.

Determining the Fair Value of Credit as a Guarantee of Its Profitability (p. 197 - 200)
The article is aimed at finding ways and learning from the experience of Western European and American banks as to establishing fair prices for the crediting service. It has been determined that, as a result of deregulation of the banking sector, which is the case in many countries, and of a corresponding increase in competition the margin of banking profits from deposits and credits has been significantly reduced. The correct setting of the interest rate on credits becomes even more urgent. Ukraine still doesn’t have a full-fledged market for credits. This is primarily because of the fact that many companies that need credit resources are virtually insolvent. When using existing methods to assess the creditworthiness of borrowers on the part of banks, is considered that most of them have high levels of debt due to non-payment. Thus, some of the variants for determining interest rates while crediting companies and organizations are discussed. The method that gives banks greater yield at the lowest basic rate, as well as solid justification for bringing to the attention of customer equity in those or other components of the fees, have been identified.

On the Issue of Formation of the Capital Market in Ukraine (p. 193 - 199)
The article is aimed at determining the major causes of the extremely unsatisfactory functioning of the capital market in Ukraine and substantiating the necessary conditions for its launch. It has been determined that functioning of the capital market should be researched through the prism of the informational efficiency (in the perception of E. Fama). It has been proven that since the time point of the formal establishment of the national stock market it was characterized by the complete information inefficiency and the actual refusal of functioning of the market mechanisms. The cause leading to its actual destruction is the functional inconsistency of institutions of the market infrastructure along with the State regulator. The article defines priorities that should be addressed for formation of the effective capital market: launch of the full-fledged activities by the regulator (National Securities and Stock Market Commission), which implies bringing its competences in line with the IOSCO principles, and the appropriate legislative provision; reforming the legislation in the sphere of joint-stock companies and securities towards adapting it to the requirements of the European directives; clearing the stock market infrastructure from the unscrupulous offerers of services; cleaning the market from the fictitious securities. A sine qua non for implementing these tasks is reducing the information asymmetry at all levels of functioning of the market and ensuring the informational transparency for all market participants.

The Foreign Banks in the Market of Banking Services of Ukraine and Problems of the State Regulation (p. 200 - 205)
The influence of foreign banks on functioning of the banking market of Ukraine has been considered. In view of entrance of the foreign capital to the banking market, the National Bank of Ukraine has changed the classification of banks. The single criterion – by the asset value – was changed to the following three: banks with the State share in the capital, banks of the foreign banking groups, and two groups of banks were classified by the asset value. Presence of foreign banks in the Ukrainian market has been analyzed and it has been displayed that, despite significant inflows of foreign investment capital, expectations about the positive impact on reducing the cost of crediting in the country did not materialize. On the one hand, there have been certain positive developments, which partly heightened competition in the market of banking services. On the other hand, the foreign control over the national banking system has enhanced, competition between the national and the foreign capital has increased, likelihood of speculative operations has grown, volumes of crediting small and medium-sized businesses have decreased. Therefore, the State regulation of processes of integration of the national and the foreign bank capital should be based on protection of the national bank capital at the State level, which provides more stringent requirements when licensing the doubtful foreign banks.

The State Financial Control in Ukraine: Efficiency of the Institutional Design (p. 193 - 199)
The article is aimed at fulfillment of potential of the current achievements in the methodology of economic analysis for the identification of institutional anomalies of development of the State financial control system (SFC) in Ukraine. To do this, the authors propose to apply the three components of the modern methodological system: the theory of institutional design, the concept of narrative analysis, and the behavioral finance theory. This kind of approach enables to identify some essential features of the actual system of SFC in Ukraine, which from the view of traditional approaches remain «in the shadows» and cannot be detected, even though they in certain periods have a strong influence on the development of this system. Identification of these features allows for a new approach to solving the problems of increase of efficiency of the system of SFC, in particular, by focusing the main attention of society not at the formal perfection of the normative-legal base, but on such improvement, which will be able to block these mechanisms «in the shadows». The content of this particular improvement is the subject of further study on the issue.

The Accumulation of the Foreign Debt of Ukraine: Hope for Economy Growth, or Decline (Empirical Aspects) (p. 237 - 242)
The article is concerned with influence of the external public debt of Ukraine on the country’s basic macroeconomic indicators. An analysis was carried out using the impulse response of the specified indicators and the external public debt on the basis of building the vector autoregressive models (VAR). A comparison of the results obtained with the results of the computer simulations of the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of effect of the external public debt has been done. It has been determined that a positive shock of the external public debt can affect the growth of public expenditures. It has been proven that the most significant is the interference of the external public debt, volume of foreign investment, and the total consumption expenditures. However, interdependence between the external public debt, inflation and the rate of the national currency is insignificant. This is confirmed by the real trends in the Ukrainian economy in recent years, when both the significant inflation and the devaluation of the national currency in any way do not reduce demand of the State on external borrowings. These results correspond with the findings obtained on the basis of building a dynamical stochastic general equilibrium model.

The Strategic-Renovation Banks’ Risks Management (p. 289 - 297)
The article is aimed at developing approaches to implementation of the strategic-renovation risk management. Essence of risk theories was researched, the concept of «risk» in the bank’s management system were analyzed. On the basis of a theoretical generalization of scientific literature and the carried out analysis of existing risk management strategies to ensure the security of banking business, the strategy of renovation management has been selected. Because bank risks are part of the economic risk system, they are complex in their nature. However, given the importance of bank risks, the interpretation of their essence is still a debating matter. In a certain number of cases, their essence is replaced by the cause of occurrence, that is, all the different circumstances, factors that lead to the losses. So today, banks are considering risks, in particular, not only as a source of possible losses, but also as an opportunity to generate additional profits. An algorithm for taking a strategic-renovation decision on the banks’ risks management system has been proposed.

Evaluating the Sustainability of the Current Account Deficits of Ukraine: the Modern Trends (p. 170 - 177)
The article analyzes the dynamics of the current account of the balance of payments of Ukraine, which indicates the persistence of its imbalances. The accumulated current account deficits preceded economic crises, confirming the hypothesis that the countries that demonstrate sustained current account deficits on the eve of crises suffer significant losses as a result of their occurrence. The main tendencies in Ukraine in the context of imbalances in investment and savings were analyzed. It has been shown that GDP growth was not accompanied by an increase in the current account deficits, which also signals its volatility. The current account deficit is attributable mainly to the negative net export balance that shows a decline in the foreign exchange earnings to resettle and service the previously accumulated external debt, which became especially actual in the last three years. The calculation of balance of the current account of Ukraine on the basis of its components and in accordance with the financial and capital accounts data has revealed a significant volume of hidden exports. Moreover, in recent years, the deterioration of situation in the context of external sustainability is determined by a combination of current account deficits and a rapid increase in the debt burden on the economy.

The Transparency of Reporting Information as a Guarantee to the Sustainable Development of Corporate Structures (p. 184 - 190)
In the article, the author substantiates the view that one of the problematic aspects of the modern corporate reporting model is its low transparency, imperfection of the methods for generating indicators, which in turn does not allow for a comprehensive analysis of the activity of corporate structure.

The Strategy of Excise Taxation of Tobacco Products in Ukraine (p. 220 - 226)
The article is aimed at disclosing and improving approaches to the development of a strategy of excise tax policy in Ukraine, taking into account the foreign experience of harmonizing tax legislation in this sphere. An analysis of the implementation of the EU directives on the regulation of the minimum excise tax liability for the payment of excise taxes on tobacco products in the countries with transformational economies has been carried out. It has been found that, in cases of excessive tax pressure, the equilibrium of the market is disrupted, its shadow component is growing, and the overall economic efficiency level decreases. It has been determined that for the period of 2007-2016 the availability index for cigarettes in Ukraine decreased 2,3 times, which in some way demotivated their consumption. However, the change in the approach of calculation of ad valorem rate for the excise tax and introduction of the excise tax on the sub-excise goods sold by the retailers led to manipulative actions by the major actors in the market concerning the price of cigarettes, which impacted both the increase in the availability of cigarettes in 2016 and the decline in budget revenues. Regulation of the minimum excise duty is the most effective instrument of fiscal policy to achieve goals in the area of limitation of smoking.

Preconditions for Introduction and Prospects for Implementation of the Inflation Targeting Regime in Ukraine (p. 204 - 208)
The article is aimed at studying the preconditions for introduction, the main problems and prospects for implementation of the inflation targeting regime in Ukraine. In 2014, the country got into a crisis that affected at once the currency market, the banking system and the real sector, resulting in devaluations, bank failures, decreasing GDP, growing prices. One of the responses to the financial challenges was the transition to inflationary targeting, which led to a slowdown in inflation in 2016-2017. Goals of an inflation targeting are both price growth and international reserves. Achieving these goals implies a policy of «expensive money», exclusive smoothing by interventions of excessive fluctuations, lack of fiscal dominance, prudent fiscal policies, and elimination of quasi-fiscal imbalances. The risks of current monetary policy are the slow implementation of reforms, which can stop external lending, «pre-election» increases in social spending, debt burden growth, and the escalation of hostilities in the east of the country. Further actions by the State should include: minimization of monetary emissions, further reduction of the interest rate, providing the positive level of rates by the National Bank of Ukraine in terms of inflation, increased use of compulsory reservation of the funds involved, restriction of sales of domestic bonds and the NBU certificates to banks.

The Problems and Prospects for Developing the Cryptocurrency Market in Ukraine (p. 254 - 258)
The article is aimed at studying the history of origins, the preconditions for development, the main problems of functioning, and the prospects of legalizing the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine. One of the key risks when implementing advances of the IT in the financial sphere is the possibility of physical disappearance of banking system in its classical form because of its inability to compete with new technologies.

In the recent time the bitcoin course has been growing rapidly, giving all the reasons to consider it primarily a classical «pyramid scheme». The cryptocurrency market may also be characterized a «pyramid scheme» because of the fact that the course of such a currency has not any coverage except increase in the number of participants and investors. Ukraine is not a leader in the international cryptocurrency market, albeit not an outsider. In order to secure a reliable State control of the «gray» cryptocurrency market, which is actually present in Ukraine, the article suggests some necessary actions directed towards legalizing and ordering this phenomenon.

The Instrumentarium of Anti-Inflation Management in Cyclical Fluctuations (p. 199 - 205)
The article is aimed at studying the use of anti-inflation regulation measures to eliminate the negative and increase the positive effects of cyclical fluctuations. The approaches to the theoretical substantiation of cyclicality of economy and its regulation have been generalized. The Keynesian methods for managing the economic cycle and inflation have been explored in the context of solving problems in the short term period. The monetarist approaches to the regulation of economic cycle and their impact on the stability of economic system have been considered. An analysis of the counter-cyclical management in the system of directions, means and methods of influencing economic conjuncture and activities aimed at reducing cyclical fluctuations, was carried out. Building on the experience of developed countries in using different options for income policy, the specific opportunities of its implementation and the poor efficiency have been concretized. The publication proves that, in circumstances of cyclical fluctuations, the instrumentarium of the anti-inflation policy should be mixed, i.e., should provide measures of both the monetary and the non-monetary influence, depending on the form and type of inflation, the characteristics of its manifestation, and the corresponding phase of the cycle.

The Experience of Use of Financial Instruments by the Enterprises of Thermoelectrical Energy Industry in Ukraine (p. 206 - 214)
The article is aimed at identifying the characteristics and tendencies of the practical use of financial instruments by thermal power plants from the viewpoint of its relevance to the needs of the renewal and expansion of Ukraine’s power generation capacities. The unsatisfactory status of the electric power generation capacities in Ukraine makes it necessary to substantiate the instruments for financing the process of their renewal. However, despite the keen interest of scientists towards the electrical energy sector in general and some aspects of its development in particular, the issue of substantiating financial instruments for modernization of the industry sector has not been adequately addressed yet. An assessment of current practices in the use of financial instruments by enterprises in the electrical energy industry should be considered as an important basis for developing proposals in this direction. The indicated institutions are sufficiently extensively operated by the State to fill the budget and by private owners for their personal enrichment. An important factor in the conduct of owners is obviously the specificity of the technology used, which, given the poor state of the production capacities of thermal generation of electrical energy, determines the lack of prospects as to investments in the renewal of equipment of the enterprises concerned.

Analyzing the Plans for Renewal of Ukrainian Electricity Industry Within the Framework of International Technical Assistance Projects (p. 266 - 272)
The article is aimed at assessing the practice of providing the Ukrainian electricity industry sector with funds within the framework of international technical assistance projects (ITA) and trying to predict the further efficiency of this financial instrument for financing the electricity industry modernization projects. International technical assistance is a potentially powerful source of financial resources for the renewal of the industry. However, an analysis of the practice of its provision according to two sectors, adjacent to the electricity industry, – «nuclear safety» and «energy and power efficiency» – does not allow to predict the efficiency of the international assistance as a source for modernization of the industry. The results of the analysis show that the ITA is closely linked to the interests and objectives of donors, and the modernization of electricity industry is a business project, the main result of which should be profit. The latter fact shifts the focus of the search for funding towards investments rather than donor infusions.

In order to increase the protection against possible corporate raiding, it is necessary to review the legal rules on the procedure for acquiring large stocks of shares. The second direction of IPO development is the creation of an alternative trading platform for small and medium-sized companies. To reduce the costs of issuers in this segment of the market it is expedient to introduce the information document reduced by volume, rather than the norm on disclosure of the not wide prospectus of issue.

The Adaptation of Mezzanine Financing to the Needs of the State-Owned Enterprises (p. 337 - 343)
The article is aimed at researching the features of mezzanine financing of the State-owned enterprises in Ukraine. The analysis of mechanisms for attraction of investment resources in the public sector is presented. The importance of development and introduction of alternative innovative mechanisms for attraction of financial resources by the State-owned enterprises in the international capital markets is reasoned. It is specified that implementation of the criteria of the IMF program by the indicator of the State budget deficit does not allow Ukraine to actively use the State guarantees to attract debt financing of the State-owned enterprises. It is underlined that the strategic State-owned enterprises are to a certain extent limited in the right to freely attract long-term capital through primary public offering. Under these conditions, mezzanine financing is seen as an alternative mechanism for attracting private capital to the State-owned companies and is a form of financial collateral that provides a combination of debt financing and financing on the basis of participation in equity. The author presents the mechanism for mezzanine financing of a State-owned enterprise. The role of international financial organizations (IFO) in adaptation of mezzanine financing for implementation of investment projects to the needs of enterprises belonging to the public sector is indicated.

The Tax Policy in Ensuring the Social Function of the State (p. 420 - 426)
The Tax policy causes influence on implementation of the social function of the State during the collection of taxes through both fiscal and regulatory functions. The main instruments of influence are: 1) changes in the regime of taxation of social goods and services and 2) stimulation of the national economy entities through growth of the level of their expenditures for the development of society. The first approach is applied primarily in the taxation of value added tax and corporate income tax, the second is a form of promotion of investment in the form of tax incentives to obtain services in the field of education, professional training, health, etc. The complexity of the tax system is a deterrent to the implementation of the social function of the State, because the important condition for the efficiency of tax incentives is simplification of their use, including both the administration and the reporting procedures.

Formation of the Market Prices for Shares under the Influence of Oil Futures (p. 340 - 347)
The article is aimed at research on probability of a dependence between formation of the market prices for shares and the prices for oil futures. Based on the analysis of scientific publications concerning exploration of the oil pricing problems, their influence on the macro-economic parameters, as well as on the dynamics of market development, the author suggests a hypothesis about existence of the correlation between price determination of the oil futures and prices for the basic financial instrument of financial market – shares. The dynamics of both the index of FSTS and the prices for Brent oil are analyzed. The analysis found that the prices for oil futures are more volatile than the dynamics of the exchange index of FSTS, resulting in a relatively higher risk of the oil-related investments. It is determined that the use of regression models to evaluate the investment risk has certain limitations. The solutions offered by the models with the error correction mechanism and the VAR models allow to better understanding of the nature of price formation, as well as the formation of price relations between different products. As result of the research of co-integration on the basis of the model, in which the price for Brent oil future acted as a dependent variable, is determined that the long-term balance between oil prices and the exchange index of FSTS is not manifested, but there is a interrelation between them in the short term.

The Criteria for Investment of Financial Institutions in the Small and Medium-Size Enterprises (p. 352 - 357)
The article is aimed at carrying out a comparative analysis of the criteria of investment of non-banking financial institutions in the small and medium-size enterprises on the example of business angels and venture funds. In the current conditions of operation of small and medium-size enterprises the popular source of financing are banks, but they are not always profitable and accessible, therefore alternative tools of development of enterprises are present. In order to attract financial intermediaries, the business must visualize their objectives and decision-making criteria in order to ensure their compliance. There is a problem of the insufficient level of knowledge as to the criteria of international investors who could build a «foundation» for further development of enterprises. The analysis of 22 venture fund websites and 30 websites of business angels and syndicates showed that, first, not all investors displayed requirements for the subjects of financing; second, most of them were focused on start-ups exclusively. As a result, the main difference of the analyzed sources has been identified: business angels, first of all, pay attention to the current achievements of enterprise, and venture funds focus on the industry in which enterprise operates. Also, the business angels are found to have more requirements, and so, accordingly, more criteria than the venture funds.

The article is aimed at clarifying the role, meaning and features of the tax on incomes of physical persons (TIPhP) in the conditions of budgetary decentralization. The characteristic features of the evolution of this tax in Ukraine are considered. It is noted that the complex way of development of the TIPhP in Ukraine was accompanied by frequent changes of the legal base. The mechanism of distribution of revenues from the remissions of the TIPhP between the State budget and the local budgets of Ukraine is traced. Attention is focused on the main reasons for changing the share of the tax revenues to the budgets of different levels. The impact of the fiscal decentralization reform on the role and place of the TIPhP in the tax revenue structure of local budgets is analyzed. It is emphasized that the TIPhP in Ukraine is one of the budget-forming taxes, ensuring the interrelation between the persons who are payers of this tax, with the State (represented by the bodies of the State fiscal service of Ukraine) and the bodies of local self-government. It is noted that implementation of the decentralization and tax reforms in our country positively influenced the development of the tax system as a whole and the mechanism of levying the TIPhP in particular. The fiscal role of this tax has increased significantly, especially in terms of the newly established united territorial communities. It is determined that the share of the TIPhP among the tax revenues to the budgets of different levels could be even higher if the «shadowing» of incomes be past.

The article provides methodical recommendations for determining the stability of the process of bank crediting on the basis of the definition of stability of time series according to the Foster-Stuart criterion, allowing for comprehensive analyzing of stability of banking institutions and for timely responding to both globalization and internal challenges. The proposed recommendations for determining the stability of the process of bank crediting creates an opportunity to consider statistically substantiated the conclusion that during the period of 2016–2018 this process was precarious. As for the time series of indicators defining the status change of banking system, the authors suggest to consider the characterization of its stability as multiple-criteria. Stability of the economic process is defined as an aggregate of indicators: average value of number of observations; mean root square deviation of number of observations; coefficient of variation of number of observations; relative magnitude of number of observations; average absolute growth at the i-m interval. Focusing on the specific problematic factors distorts the accuracy of analysis, therefore, all factors should be considered in an integrated manner. The developed methodology provides the possibility to predict development and level out the impact of negative factors, to make efficient decisions on regulation of financial system.

Today, cryptocurrency uses many different algorithms, such as SHA-256, Scrypt, X11, X13, Cryptonight and others, numbering more than 29 species altogether. Most Altcoins (alternative digital currencies) are only a variation of Bitcoin. When analyzing the demand and supply of cryptocurrencies is determined that the total capitalization of this market at the beginning of 2019 was 134 billion dollars, and the types of digital currency numbered more than 2000. The article analyzes the mechanism of function of the five most popular cryptographic currencies: Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and the first Ukrainian cryptocurrency – Karbo. It is determined that cryptocurrency develops and does not require the State’s permission as to its emission or legalization – it exists outside the jurisdiction both in Ukraine and in most world countries.

Influence of the External Public Debt on the Economic System of Different Countries (p. 314 - 319)
The article is aimed at researching the impact of external public debt on functioning of the economic system of different countries depending on their level of economic development. The results of empirical studies by foreign scholars on the impact of external debt on the economic growth of both the countries with transition economies and the developing countries have been analyzed and generalized. The results of the analysis show that this impact has a nonlinear character. For the developed countries, a linear form of dependence between the external debt and economic growth is evident. For the developing countries and countries with economies in transition, achievement of a critical level of debt burden leads to a stagnation of the economy, while for the developed countries the threshold values of the indicator are conditional. Delineation of the impact of external borrowings on economic growth across different groups of countries will help to build more efficient debt and economic policies. Reforming the institutional structure of the economy is essential for the most efficient use of the external resources in the developing countries. This will provide for creating favorable conditions for stimulating investment activity and economic growth. The comparative analysis of mechanisms of attraction of financial resources has shown, that the main advantage of implementation of the external borrowings is the possibility of attraction of additional financial resources without diversion of the circulating assets from the real economic sectors or because of their shortages in the country.

The Information System of Credit Scoring (p. 341 - 347)
The article is aimed at improving the scientific-methodical approach to the formation of the national credit scoring system, which, based on foreign experience, would take into view the features of activities of banking institutions in Ukraine. A generalization of researches has allowed to identify certain lacks of the available approaches to definition of credit scoring. It is proposed to consider credit scoring of a banking institution as an information system of interrelated elements (organizational structure, functional components, information database, and information technologies) and processes, from the phased analysis and integral assessment of the potential borrower to the decision as to provision (or rejection) of credit, formation of a package of relevant documents with subsequent support and forecasting the risks incluiding the failure to comply with credit obligations. The interrelationship between the elements of the information system of credit scoring allows to ensure the productivity and quality of work of the bank’s staff, improve the efficiency of managerial decisions on crediting, which will then optimize the volume of the credit portfolio while reducing costs.

The Evolution of Debt Crowdfunding Business Models (p. 174 - 179)
The entire period after the global financial crisis unfolded, lenders suffer losses due to ultra-low interest rates, while entrepreneurs suffer from a shortage of bank loans. The emergence and accelerated development of various forms of crowdfunding, i.e, in literal translation – “funding by the crowd” has become a logical solution to the problem. The evolution of one of its varieties — namely, debt crowdfunding — is the research subject of this article. Studying activities of crowdfunding platforms allows to select six basic business models, only three of which operate on the basis of simple matching of lenders with borrowers (P2P is a model for mediation in unsecured borrowing, a balance and hybrid model). The three most recent business models of crowdfunding platforms are associated with securitizing loans, issuing transit securities and selling loans entirely. Analysis of the economic essence of the new types of platform operations gives grounds for concluding that the so-called “disintermediation” period of the market is ending, being replaced by the expansion of new financial engineering products with the corresponding subsequent development of this market.

Strategic Guidelines to Improve the Financing of State Higher Education Institutions in Ukraine (p. 185 - 191)
The article analyzes the condition and problems of the system for financing state higher education institutions in Ukraine as well as ways for its optimization. Undoubtedly, it is important to determine the role and significance of education in society in the period of globalization, marketization and transformation processes. An analysis of different ways to diversify the sources of financing state higher education institutions is made and a system for financing a state HEI based of the results of its performance is proposed. It is proved that expansion of autonomy (financial, organizational and academic) of state HEIs is an inevitable process for ensuring a further increase in their efficiency. The reduction of budgetary allocations in general and in education, in particular, gives an impetus to state HEIs to search for alternative sources of financing. In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to solving this problem, including the following: studying the world experience, analyzing the proposed mechanism for performance-based financing of state HEIs and considering ways to optimize allocation of their resources.

Tax Revenues to the Budgets of the United Territorial Communities as a Source of Financing for Their Development (p. 227 - 233)
Diversification of tax revenues to the budgets of the United Territorial Communities (UTC) enhances the capacity of local self-government authorities to finance community development. The article is aimed at identifying the prospects for the formation of the own incomes of the combined territorial communities on the basis of an analysis of the sources of tax revenues of the UTC in the Central Region of Ukraine. Tax revenues to local budgets in Europe are considered. Absence of a unified approach to the formation of financial resources of local governments is proved. The own budget revenues of the UTC in the Central Region of Ukraine are analyzed. It is determined that, in the structure of own incomes, local taxes and fees provide half of all revenues only for a small part of the existing UTC. The main source of the own budget incomes for the Central Region’s average UTC is the income tax, almost 80% of which comes from the taxation of wages of employees in private enterprises and individuals - entrepreneurs. Prospects for forming the own revenues to the budgets of the UTC in the Central Region of Ukraine, depending on the main source of their tax revenues, are characterized. Based on the carried out analysis, the optimal structure of tax revenues to the budgets of the UTC in the Central Region of Ukraine is developed, which will increase the financial independence of territorial communities from the instruments of the State financial support of their development.

The components of financial security are disclosed, indicators of budget security are calculated, they are compared with the limits according to the Methodical recommendations for determining the level of economic security of Ukraine, the result is that all indicators range from a satisfactory to a critical range.

The increase in the budget deficit contributes to the build-up of public debts by the cost of the loans that Ukraine takes to cover the deficit and to repay previous debts, thus creating a debt spiral. Minimizing the budgetary risks will depend on the mechanisms for responding to internal and external challenges and threats, which take place not only in the fiscal sphere, but also in the plane of socio-political transformations in the State. Prospect for further research in this direction lies in proving of the need to introduce new fiscal rules to strengthen the resilience of the public finance system as an instrument of the State regulation of the economy, that best suits the current realities of the country’s development.

Essence of Financial Inclusion in a Client-Oriented Approach at the Banking Market (p. 299 - 304)
The article considers the main elements of financial inclusion as parts of the client-oriented marketing and client-oriented approach in the modern system of banking services. In today’s environment, the development of the banking business is inextricably linked to automation, the introduction of the latest technical tools and advanced banking technologies to promote banking products and services to the market, as well as to the search for instruments for increase the attractiveness of banking products, aided by innovation. Financial inclusion nowadays is a kind of instrumentarium for countering the banking and financial isolation. It covers a range of products or services that are both financial and non-financial, accessible to all segments of the population. The use of financial inclusion and client-oriented marketing in a banking institution comes down to targeting and developing elements such as culture (a culture of communication and the internal culture of organization); technology (introduction of modern information and other technologies); employees; processes; clients. Therefore the marketing client-oriented approach suggests the bank’s primary orientation not on its own product, but on the real needs of consumers. That is why a thorough study of the market along with an analysis of the changing tastes and preferences of consumers of banking services are so necessary. A bank employee becomes a seller of financial products. In the process of communication with each client, he is called to identify the specific forms of financial servicing that the client needs, to explain to the latter the necessity and profitability of each settlement.

The Key Indicators of Efficiency of Functioning of Insurance Market for the State (p. 158 - 164)
The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) determine the effectiveness of market participants. The use of the KPIs has so far not been used for analysis of the Ukrainian insurance market. The urgent problem is to determine how the efficiency of the insurance market should be assessed from the State’s point of view. The presented work is a continuation of a series of works devoted to the development of the KPIs for participants of the Ukrainian insurance market. The aim of the article is to develop a system of key indicators of efficiency of functioning of the Ukrainian insurance market for authorized government bodies based on macro- and micro-economic indicators, which would provide a comprehensive description of the results achieved by participants of insurance system under the influence of government administration and regulation. The amount of the KPIs is optimally limited to avoid secondary indicators that have small impact on performance and to data accessibility for the KPI calculation using data from insurance companies and a State authorized body. The paper for the first time develops and classifies the KPIs of functioning of the Ukrainian insurance market for the State, including: percentage of insured population, percentage of insured business; level of insurance indemnity; solvency margin of insurers; margin of monopolization; margin of competition; share of insurance in the formation of the country’s GDP; efficiency of insurance activity; volume of tax payments to the State budget. Each KPI has a mathematical formulation and a condition for ensuring efficiency. In 2017–2018, conditions for ensuring efficiency of Ukrainian insurance market were implemented only for a few KPIs: the percentage of insured business; the solvency margin of insurers; the margin of monopolization and competition for the non-life insurance market; and the efficiency of insurance activity. Calculations for other KPIs showed the inefficiency of actions of the authorized government bodies.

The article is aimed at defining the role, features and directions of the financial architecture of the national economy. It is defined that formation of a financial architecture is a system of subordinate movements of its individual structural components at the appropriate levels of the hierarchy.

As a result, the specific features are defined as multi-tieredness, divergemivity, fractality, phasing, micro- and macro-dynamics. The essential characteristics that reflect the processes of change and act as logical «operators» in the research of financial development are suggested, i.e.: functional aspect of the development of financial architecture (development of functions as financial systems and financial institutions alike); structural and organizational aspect (features of composition and construction of financial architecture, interaction of its elements, financial structure); institutional aspect (formation and development of the institutional environment in which financial architecture is formed and operated); directedness of financial development; historicalism of financial development (evolution, its change in dynamics).

Using the Financial Metrics in Terms of the Investor Decision-Making for Venture Capital Financing (p. 181 - 189)
The article is aimed at studying the peculiarities of the use of financial metrics inn terms of the investors’ assessment of the potential portfolio venture investments. A comprehensive study of the investment decision-making for venture financing (including in terms of the methods used for assessing venture capital investments) was carried out, for which 31 venture projects investors were interviewed. The respondents in the survey defined the metrics and assumptions they most often use when evaluating venture projects. According to the survey results, less than half of the respondents have used discounted cash flows or net present value as methods to evaluate their investments when investing in venture projects. The most commonly used metrics for venture financing are the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Cash-on-Cash Multiple. In general, it seems that investors in venture financing make decisions that are not consistent with the recommendations of financial theory. Thus, a sixth of the investors surveyed say that they do not use any quantitative metrics in the assessment. A fifth of investors in this survey openly said that they do not use any amendments for risk, and a quarter of respondents use the same amendments for all their investments, despite the fact that different investments face different risks.

Analyzing the Risk of Legalization of Proceeds of Crime through Ukrainian Banks (p. 245 - 251)
The article is aimed at improving the instrumentarium of risk analysis associated with the use of banks’ services in order to legalize the proceeds of crime. The main directions of scientific research on analysis of the risks of money laundering through banking institutions and ways to counter such risks are analyzed. The carried out analysis showed that most of the proposed approaches are aimed at analyzing the risk of money laundering at the macro-economic level, including the analysis of the number of reports about suspicious operations, where the content of the financial operations as such is not always taken into account. The article suggests to use the analysis of the indicators of both debiting and cash withdrawal in Ukrainian banks as an additional instrument for analyzing the risk of legalization of criminal proceeds. The choice of such an instrument is based upon the fact that, first, cash transactions have the highest risk of legalization of income, and therefore require an in-depth analysis, and secondly, information from banks and other primary entities, engaged in the financial monitoring related to the money laundering issues is restricted for external users, so it is not possible to use all risk criteria to analyze transactions. The carried out analysis with use of the proposed instrumentarium allowed to divide the totality of 77 banks operating in Ukraine into four groups in accordance with the values of asymmetry, excess and variation of data distribution indicators. The main features of certain groups of banks in accordance with the distribution of cash turnover are identified and analyzed.

The Budgetary Financing of Social Services in Ukraine: Features and Prospects for Development (p. 199 - 206)
The article is aimed at disclosing features of the budgetary financing of the State-guaranteed social services in Ukraine and defining development prospects, taking into account the emerging internal and external risks and available budgetary opportunities. Based on a study of the dynamics of the expenditures according to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine for 2015-2018, the leading position of the expenditures for social needs is proved. The main macro-economic and institutional factors influencing the volume of budgetary financing for social services are defined. It is noted that the volumes of annual expenditures for the social sphere in Ukraine tend to increase year to year. However, distribution of expenditures by the State functions is fairly uneven and unreasonable. The structure of expenditures accounts for the largest share of social protection and social security, in particular the social protection of pensioners. The peculiarity of financing social services in Ukraine is that the lack of funds in the extra-budgetary Pension Fund of Ukraine is covered by transfers from the State budget, which contradicts the current norms of the budget legislation, renders the idea of building a cumulative pension system impossible, and reduces the possibilities of budgetary manoeuvre in favor of other social expenditure items, such as education and health. Prospect for further research in this direction is to reason the need for reforms in the sphere of budgetary policy, improving the mechanism of financial provision for social services guaranteed by the State through the gradual introduction of a cumulative pension system, compulsory health insurance and a gradual transition from the estimated financing of the providers of social services to another form of direct financing - order for social services.

The Strategic Approach to Crisis Management in Banks of Ukraine (p. 226 - 232)
The article is aimed at improving existing theoretical and practical aspects, as well as substantiating the strategic approach in the crisis management of banking institutions. Considering the review of the existing scientific heritage, the authors noted that the anti-crisis strategic management of bank should be based on the appropriate conceptual basis. It is determined that the priority of functioning of bank and its task in preventing and neutralizing a crisis is an approach based on the interconnection of resources, opportunities, competitive advantages and strategy, taking into account monitoring of the environment of banking business, its dynamism and unpredictability. It is specified that the systemization of strategies should be based on key characteristics, delineation of their types, conditions and sphere of application. According to the authors, the anti-crisis strategy of managing the activities of banks should be formed and implemented at three hierarchical levels of administration: the bank as a whole; the bank’s divisions; the functional-operational level, using appropriate corporate, business and functional anti-crisis strategies. On the results of the study, the authors propose a systematization of the banks’ anti-crisis strategies in the plane of a number of criteria, such as: hierarchical level of management; sources of financing; functional focus; methods of identification and ways to react towards crises and threats; nature of the adoption and implementation of anti-crisis managerial decisions; life cycle of the bank’s development and the extent of a crisis; sources and nature of the emerging crisis developments. It is also noted that the provision of an anti-crisis strategy with financial resources involves their mobilization at the expense of internal and external sources that, depending on the extent of a crisis and the nature of the anti-crisis measures, results in allocating a strategy of crisis management based on the internal financial resources and a strategy of the external sources of financing. Prospect for further research in this direction is the need to develop a methodical instrumentarium for diagnostic of the type and extent of a crisis at macro- and micro-levels with the allocation of appropriate preventive and reactive instruments of the crisis management in banks.

Taxation on VAT Operations on Return of Fixed Assets Initially Contributed to the Statutory Capital of Enterprise (p. 309 - 315)
Improvements in public policy in the sphere of taxation, development and adoption of the tax code, reform of fiscal bodies, unfortunately, have not eliminated such problems as dual understanding of some tax rules and incorrect definition of the object, and as a result - the very basis of taxation. In the practical activities of enterprises there are known problems when accruing and recovering VAT, registration of tax invoices, definition of the object and the base of taxation. In particular, there are also situations, when the task is to determine whether to charge VAT in a given case or not, and what would be the object of taxation at all. The article is aimed at to studying certain aspects of VAT taxation, which are incorrect in the economic sense and lead to unreasonable expenses on the part of enterprises. The presented problem is considered on the example of VAT taxation on the operations on the return of fixed assets from the statutory capital of the legal entity to the former owner of these objects, provided he leaves the founders of the given legal entity. The inconsistency of the classical economic meaning of terminology used in the Tax Code of Ukraine, i.e. «added value», has been researched. It is determined that there is no formation of a value-added when returning fixed assets from the statutory capital. The tasks that VAT solves on the condition of return of fixed assets from the statutory capital are considered. A sequence of actions, which avoids unreasonable expenses of enterprise in carrying out operations on the return of fixed assets from the statutory capital in the existing conditions of taxation, has been defined. Conclusions have been drawn that the terminology used in the Tax Code of Ukraine should correspond to classical economic definitions; VAT should be imposed only on those operations in which value added is formed; VAT should be more than just a fiscal function. The proposed novations allow to eliminate the discrepancies of the rules of the Tax Code of Ukraine with the classical economy and reduce the damage to the enterprise from improper taxation.

Prospects for Development of Health Insurance in Ukraine, in View of Foreign Experience (p. 323 - 329)
The article is aimed at studying the prospects for development of health insurance in Ukraine, taking into account foreign experience. It is defined that reform of the health care system is an important condition in the course of European direction of Ukraine’s development. The priority in this matter is assigned to insurance medicine, in particular the introduction of compulsory national health insurance. To implement the modern health care model, we urgently need management and intermediary organizational structures (insurance organizations, foundations, insurance offices) and highly qualified medical personnel, which would provide appropriate attitude to the health of the insured persons. Analysis of health insurance in the socio-economic conditions of today’s Ukraine showed that it is at the initial stage of its development. The effective experience of the world countries in the sphere of insurance medicine proves that various models, compulsory health insurance systems have already been worked out and their high results have been proven. The introduction of a new model of health care financing in Ukrainian practice involves not the increasing financing, but changing the approach to resource management in order to use recourses more effectively. The main stages of implementing compulsory and voluntary insurance as a single complex should be: optimizing of compulsory health insurance rates; substantiating the optimal amount of insurance premiums for the unemployed population, pensioners and children; introducing more progressive cost-recovery methods; setting tax breaks; excluding the possibility of duplication of payment for medical services to be provided under compulsory and voluntary health insurance schemes; organizing the uniform standards and regulations for treatment and delivery of services.

The Analytical Component of the Macro-Financial Indicators of Sustainable Development (p. 311 - 316)
The article is aimed at researching the country’s macro-financial indicators as an instrument to inform about changes in the development of its economic and financial spheres. The need for macro-financial indicators at all stages of management is substantiated. The sequence of use of results of macro-financial indicators analysis in the implementation of the country’s financial policy strategy is visually presented. Monitoring of indicators in the course of management process should take place at least twice: in the process of estimating the situation to form an action plan and in evaluating the impact of implementing these activities. A systemization of macro-financial indicators in accordance with the following subgroups is proposed: stability, security, efficiency. Attention is paid to the specifics of filling each of the groups of macro-financial indicators in accordance with specific characteristics and functional purpose for the economic and financial system. The allocation of the first group is conditioned by the need to define the amount of the country’s financial resources, on the basis of which public finance funds are formed, which are directly dependent on the stability of income base of the State budget and the monetary stability in general. The allocation of the second group provides an opportunity to evaluate the efficiency of management in terms of distribution and redistribution of the public finance funds. The classification group of the macro-financial security indicators includes indicators of budget security and debt security. A list of macro-financial indicators within each of these groups is provided. The selection is based on the recommendations of the effective and actual methodology for calculating the economic and financial security of the country.

Strategic Risk of a Bank: Assessment Proposals and Interrelation with the Compliance Risk (p. 317 - 324)
The article is aimed at forming a procedure for assessing the bank’s strategic risk and substantiating its relation to the compliance risk of financial monitoring. The concept of strategic risk is considered and the expediency of delineating its types into primary one and secondary one is substantiated, which is taken into account in the development of the assessment procedure. The proposed strategic risk assessment procedure includes three phases: the first phase involves defining the primary strategic risk by generalizing results of the ratio of actual and planned values of parameters in measurement of the degree of achieving the bank’s strategic objectives (grouped by the subsystems of a balanced scorecard); the second step is to define the secondary strategic risk using seven criteria for assessing the organizational-economic provision of the bank’s strategic management; the third stage is to substantiate the overall level of strategic risk of the bank on the basis of generalization of the conclusions on the first and second stages of the procedure. The article provides recommendations on explaining the results of the quantitative assessment of the bank’s strategic risk by differentiating its qualitative levels - high, moderate, and low. It is concluded that, on the one hand, a significant gap between the actual and planned values of indicators, which reflect the strategic priorities of the bank, as well as the inefficiency of the bank’s strategic management mechanism can make it to focus (for financial gain and strategic financial objectives) on the use of a formal approach to compliance with financial monitoring legislation. On the other hand, the implementation of the compliance risk of financial monitoring and, as a result, taking enforcement actions on the side of the NBU versus the bank can increase in the level of its strategic risk.

Problems and Ways to Improve the System of Direct Taxation in Ukraine (p. 325 - 331)
Tax revenues are one of the main sources of formation of budget revenues, while direct taxes are always playing the important role. In the structure of tax revenues of Ukraine, such taxes are smaller in amount than indirect ones, but they are considered the most fair, because they allow to shift the main tax burden on the wealthier segments of the population, having a direct dependence on the level of the payer’s income. The use of direct taxes is one of the economical methods of management and ensuring the relationship of national interests with the interests of economic entities and the population, but the low level of tax culture, imperfection of fiscal legislation and a tax mechanism not tuned up reduce revenues to an already scarce budget. Therefore, taking into account today’s realities, the problem of building a perfect and efficient system of direct taxation becomes especially urgent. The article is aimed at analyzing direct taxes, their role in the formation of budget revenues, as well as defining shortcomings and ways to improve direct taxation in Ukraine. The dynamics of receipts of major direct taxes to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine are analyzed. The problems and shortcomings of individual budget-forming taxes are allocated. The relevance of direct tax reform is substantiated. The authors recommend ways to improve the direct tax system with regard to: the institutional taxation environment; eliminating inaccuracies in the algorithms of defining tax base; introducing a complex progression in the taxation of personal income; minimizing tax preferences; gradual reduction of the tax burden on the country’s economy; improving the fiscal efficiency of taxes by expanding the tax base, abolishing conventions on avoiding double taxation with offshore zones; improving the system of administration; reforming the State tax service and so on.

Scientific approaches to understanding the essence of «budgetary institution» and «budgetary financing» are reflected. The main attributes, principles and forms of budgetary financing are defined. The volumes of budgetary financing are analyzed on the example of branches of the socio-cultural sector. It is proved that the problems that require further research are the poor status of financing, the lack of funds to upgrade the material-technical base, the lack of a stable and balanced legislation that would reliably and transparently regulate the economic activities of the budgetary institutions. Proposals are presented to improve the financing processes of budgetary institutions, which can be implemented by improving existing legislation in the sphere of budgetary financing and developing an effective control system, that would ensure the targeted inflow and rational use of funds directed to create an enabling environment for the financial security of their activities.

It would be feasible to include in the problems of the transport industry the low level of capitalization of motor transport enterprises due to the lack of both equity capital and the capital borrowed from the credit market; insufficiency of liquid assets, including money and their equivalents; a low profitability level of enterprises. The totality of problems of the formation and use of the financial resources of motor transport enterprises negatively influences the financial security of enterprises, which renders impossible to constantly develop the freight market, in a compliance with requirements of economic agents and environmental requirements. The article is aimed at analyzing the current status of financial safety of motor transport enterprises on the basis of a well-grounded authors’ methodology. The research is carried out using the generalization, table and graphic methods, as well as regression analysis and expert method in defining the importance of indicators of the index of financial security afety of motor transport enterprises. The article substantiates the methodical bases for evaluating the financial security of enterprises on the basis of the Financial Security Index, which in turn is based on 11 relative indicators: coverage ratio; absolute liquidity ratio; money flow liquidity ratio; financial independence ratio; long-term financial independence ratio; agility ratio of the own equity capital; assets profitability; profitability of sales; profit reinvestment ratio; ratio of receivables and payables; ratio of coverage of financial expenditure by means of operating profit. A sample of 11 motor transport enterprises that provide freight services has been formed. Identification of the financial security ststus of motor transport enterprises indicates a largely unstable financial security with a tendency to improve in 2014-2018. From the studied sample of motor transport enterprises, one enterprise has a not acceptable and an absolute status of financial security, one enterprise has an acceptable status, two enterprises are in absolute status, two are in a critical status. The carried out analysis indicates the presence of major and general threats to financial security: low level of profitability, threats of losses from financial and economic activities, insufficient funds to cover current liabilities, unbalanced cash flows in settlements with debtors and creditors. The practical value of the article is that the main provisions of the research can be used by motor transport enterprises and other economic entities during financial and economic activities in order to minimize the financial and reputation risks.

A Comparative Characterization of Methods for Assessing the Financial Security of Economic Entities (p. 355 - 363)
The article is aimed at a comparative analysis of different methods of assessing the level of financial security of enterprise, defining their advantages and disadvantages, as well as substantiation of the choice of the most optimal and acceptable for a particular enterprise methods to assess the level of its financial security. Consideration of different methods for assessing the financial security of an economic entity based on the use of financial coefficients helped to divide them into indicator and integral ones (including the models using integrated assessments and bankruptcy forecasting models) and to identify their advantages and disadvantages. Practical application of these methodologies on the basis of a particular enterprise allowed to detect their problematic aspects in the context of both the composition of indicators (coefficients) and their number, and the interpretation of the results of calculations, which were conducted in accordance with these methods. It is proved that under certain conditions of operation of national enterprises, certain methods are unacceptable for use, as they are based on insufficient financial information. The feasibility of assessing the financial security of enterprise in the short and long term is substantiated, correspondingly varying the composition and number of financial indicators used for such an assessment. Prospects for further research are seen in the development of a universal methodology for assessing the financial security of enterprise, which would ensure the simplicity of calculations, complete accounting of the input information flow, high reliability of the results obtained.

Analyzing the Basic Factors, Accounting of Which Be Necessary for an Efficient Medium-Term Forecast of the Value-Added Tax Revenues in Ukraine (p. 298 - 303)
The article is aimed at analyzing the basic factors, accounting of which be necessary for an efficient medium-term forecast of the value-added tax revenues in Ukraine. The study was implemented using the analogy and systematization methods, in-depth statistical analysis of legislative sources. Proven is the assumption that, when analyzing the fiscal efficiency of VAT, it is necessary to take into account that the actual levels of the dynamic tax revenue series change under the influence of various factors, deviating from the main tendency of development. Evaluation of such fluctuations can therefore allow for making adjustments to the built forecasts and respond more quickly to unforeseen situations. An important component of the medium-term forecasting of VAT is the assessment of macro-financial risks and building of a risk-oriented system of the medium-term forecasting of budget revenues. The components of increasing the efficiency of VAT in Ukraine in terms of ensuring the functioning of the tax control system are proposed. Resulting from the carried out research, it is identified that a risk-oriented medium-term VAT forecasting system should be directed towards minimizing the risks of budget revenues, which are based on: taking appropriate steps to implement Income part of the budget by means of the VAT; developing a financial monitoring system and introducing instruments to counter tax evasion; improving the mechanism of the functioning of VAT, etc. Therefore, improving the efficiency of VAT forecasting and planning should be ensured by developing realistic macro-economic forecasts; application of modern computer-based methods of forecasting and planning of VAT and harmonizing the national legislation with the EU regulations.

Features and Problems of Implementing Factoring Operations in Ukraine (p. 324 - 330)
The article is aimed at exploring the prospects for development of factoring services in the national financial services market, taking into account the specific conditions of the Ukrainian economy and the formation of measures for the successful development of factoring service. Factoring is a universal method of refinancing the receivables of the enterprise-supplier. In researching the essence of factoring, it was noted that this financial service has something in common with a bank credit. In the course of a comparative analysis of factoring and bank crediting it was identified that the main advantages of factoring were the lack of collateral and an additional list of services that ensured that the supplier achieves competitive benefits, and a financial institution or a specialized factoring company – an increase in the customer base by acquiring from enterprises-suppliers (sellers) the right to claim the receivables of buyers. An analysis of the factoring services market showed an increase in the popularity of factoring services, which is due to the increase in the contracts of factoring by financial and factoring companies for five years (2014–2018). However, there are still problems that constrain the demand for factoring service from domestic suppliers and slow down the development of factoring companies per se. To overcome these problems, the most important directions are the development of legislation acts that will take into account all the legal aspects of the participants in factoring operation, and the formation of an innovative list of services by factoring companies, which will improve the process of management of the enterprises’ receivables.

Since the stock market of Ukraine began its formation not so long ago, it can be argued that there are certain shortcomings of its functioning, because it is still at the stage of development. The article analyzes the development of the national securities market, defines the impact of the efficient functioning of the stock market on the overall economic development of the country. The structure of trading volumes in the securities market with financial instruments has been researched and the dominant role of the domestic government loan bonds (OVDPs) in their structure has been concluded. It is determined that the vast majority of securities trades are carried out on the over-the-counter market. The main organizers of trade, namely, «PFTS» and «Perspective», which have the largest share of exchange contracts with securities (92%) are allocated. It is concluded that there are insufficient government intervention and weak legislative framework, lack of adequate infrastructure and an adequate level of transparency. It is defined that the domestic stock market is inferior in terms of capitalization of stock exchanges to other countries, so it needs the support om the part of the State and measures to improve it. Directions to improve the development of the securities market in Ukraine are proposed, which consist in overcoming the structural imbalances of the economy; improving and harmonizing the legislation governing the stock market; ensuring a high level of openness and transparency in the stock market.

The pros and cons of the simplified system in today’s environment are considered. Four groups of single tax payers are described, depending on the level of annual income, the number of employees and the legal rates. The role of the single tax in the formation of local budget revenues is researched. It is noted that the fixed rates of this tax are set by rural, town and city councils. The main threats that hinder the efficient conduct of business are identified. An analysis of the dynamics of single tax revenues to local budgets during 2015-2019 is carried out and it has been identified that the largest share of this tax comes from self employed persons. The general reasons for hiding the real incomes of entrepreneurs and ways to eliminate them are considered. The major legislatively sound reforms are analyzed: new limits for self employed persons and the introduction of payment transactions recorders. Some changes and delays in the legislation in connection with the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-2019) are indicated.

Net Flow of Budgetary Means: Evaluation Methods and Socio-Economic Importance (p. 312 - 322)
The article is aimed at evaluating the interrelationship between the structural characteristics of expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine and the possibilities of their financing without taking into account revenues from the financial market. It is proposed to expand the list of budget indicators through the«Net flow of budgetary means» indicator in order to increase the validity and accuracy of the budget planning and forecasting. The indicator, defined by the author as: a certain amount of funds directed from the budget to the socially significant financing items without taking into account debt, is proposed. The proposed indicator characterizes the budget’s capacity to provide for public needs at its own expense. The scientific significance of calculating the net flow of budgetary means consists in evaluation of the ability of budget financing to perform functions without active operations in the financial market, which allows: to define the minimum flow of financing for social needs, to clear the financial flow from the debt load; to eliminate external impact. The sequence of calculation of the net flow of budgetary means is defined. The relationship between changes in the volumes of the main social expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine and the net flow of budgetary means is researched by building up a regression model, several non-linear models and a neural network. Based on a comparison of average approximation errors, it is determined that a built up neural network is more accurate in predicting the net flow of budgetary means. Solving the important scientific-practical task of calculating the net flow of budgetary means will improve the financial provision of the socially significant budget items. Prospects for further research within a certain topic will be modeling the distribution of budgets of the State and local budgets of Ukraine and its impact on the socio-economic development of the country.

Analysis of the Global Principles of Personal Income Taxation (p. 336 - 344)
This article is aimed at researching the system of taxation of personal income in Ukraine and the world, as well as a making forth a proposal to reform the existing system of taxation of personal income in Ukraine. The basics of taxation of personal income in the economically developed world countries, such as Germany, USA, France, Great Britain, and Poland, are analyzed. The carried out analysis displays the feasibility of reforming the current principles in the following directions: changing the taxation base in favor of the average household income; introduction of progressive taxation; introduction of a zero interest rate; focus on social justice by taking into account marital status and the presence of dependents; accounting for annual income. Taking into account the current status of the national economy, it can be noted that the thoughtless copying of the world experience of the tax model for the current realities of Ukrainian economy is untenable. At the same time, the experience of the high-income countries shows that such an approach should help to reduce income stratification. That is why it is advisable to introduce a proportional taxation system. Applying a moderate progressive scale of 10 to 40% would reduce the tax burden on the low- and middle-income taxpayers, and the introduction of a 0% rate would protect low-income citizens. With the introduction of the proportional rate, Ukraine will achieve the long-awaited balance between income, and, as a result, will increase revenues to the budget. At the same time, reducing the tax burden on the low- and middle-income citizens should solve the problem of shadow wages, as the amount of taxes will decrease and the social guarantees for workers will remain. The experience analyzed demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed steps and proves the need for the specified reforms, providing vivid examples of the results of such changes.

The Algorithm for Building a Financial Management System at the Enterprise (p. 344 - 348)
The main problem of financial management in practical conditions is that because of the many material available on this issue, it is difficult for the head of enterprise to understand where to start, what information he needs and what indicators (problems, phenomena) should be paid attention in the first place, as well as how everything is connected. The author proposes an algorithm for building a management system in the enterprise to be submitted in the following form: 1. Determining the financial goals of the enterprise. 2. Allocating the financial management subsystems. 3. Determining the information support for the financial management system. 4. Determining and enforcing financial management rules. For practical application, it is proposed that the enterprise’s financial objectives be presented as the next hierarchical three-tier model: the main goal is to generate excess money flow; additional goals are to make a profit and ensure the solvency of the enterprise; development goals are to increase the value of the enterprise and increase profits for its capitalization. Based on the financial objectives outlined above, the following financial management subsystems are proposed: money flows management; management of solvency; management of costs, income and profit. In addition, the author proposes management reports be conditionally divided into several levels (operational, tactical and final) with the allocated certain rules of financial management. The proposed recommendations will allow in practice to avoid, in particular, such problems as the occurrence of cash gaps, complications of relations with creditors, etc.

The article covers the problems of public financing of social services in Ukraine. The peculiarities of financing the social sphere before and after the beginning of sectoral reforms are identified. Regionally, expenditures of local budgets for social protection and social security are analyzed. An increase in the regional asymmetries both for the main recipients of social allowances, privileges and services, and for the allocation of the dedicated budget resources is noted. It is displayed that the growth of social expenditures does not correspond to the economy’s capabilities, and their nominal increase in volumes does not always mean an improvement in the quality of social services for the population. It is proved that this fact points to the need to take into account regional specifics in the formation and implementation of social policy. Among other problems of public financing of social services as a result of the study are determined the following: imperfect mechanisms for financing social benefits; inefficient use of budgetary means directed to this sphere; an non-rational network of social services agencies. The directions of modernization of public financing of social services are defined. Among the measures that could improve these processes are: legislative harmonization of the distribution of powers and responsibilities in relation to the public social guarantees; creating competitive positions for non-governmental organizations in the social services market and introducing efficient financial support mechanisms for community initiatives in terms of provision of social services at the local level; transition from financing for institutions to financing for social services; defining a consistent list of basic social services and the number of people to whom they are covered.

Analyzing the Effective Procedure for Substantiating Tariffs for the Production, Supply and Consumption of Thermal Energy (p. 373 - 381)
The article is aimed at researching the currently effective procedure for the development and approval of tariffs for thermal energy, as well as developing proposals to improve the pricing policy in the sphere of thermal energy supply. The currently effective procedure for substantiating tariffs on thermal energy in Ukraine is considered. The procedure for the economic substantiation of costs, which are included in the tariff, is researched. It is concluded that the current procedure for controlling the validity of costs is not focused on cost saving and improving the production efficiency, but solely on the formal written confirmation of the cost value. The need to submit more than 50 types of calculations and substantiating materials plus the long period of their consideration complicates the operational regulation of the tariff on thermal energy and leads to losses of generating organizations in the event of changes in the value of individual components of the self-cost (price of natural gas, electricity, level of minimum wage, etc.). In order to simplify the procedure for substantiating the level of tariff (or the level of its change) it is proposed to significantly reduce the list of documents that are provided at the tariffication, and to move to the procedure of declaring tariff changes while strengthening the verification work of the authorized bodies. In contrast to the currently effective procedure of control of each component of the tariff, the declaration procedure provides for the control of only the total value of the tariff.

The Problems of Increasing the Level of Consumption of Insurance Services in Ukraine (p. 357 - 363)
The main aim of the research is substantiating the reasons for the low level of insurance services consumption and carrying out a regression analysis to determine the impact of independent factors on the penetration of insurance into the country’s economy. The research presents solutions to the following tasks: the key indicators of development of the insurance market in Ukraine in 2012-2019 are analyzed, financial results of the activities of domestic insurers are defined, the impact of the insurance market indicators on the penetration of insurance into the economy is researched using the correlation-regressive analysis. The author has made an attempt to identify the reasons for the low activity of insurers in the market for insurance contracts compared to developed countries. The publication applies the correlation-regressive analysis to confirm assumptions about the influence of factors that do not have a direct effect on the resulting indicator. As the the resulting indicator has been chosen the penetration of insurance into the economy by the «non-life» (Y1) and the «life» insurance (Y2). The results of the research identified the reasons for restraint of relations between insurers and insured customers, including: low incomes of citizens, high, and sometimes unreasonable, insurance rates, lack of insurance culture in society, unfair attitude to insurers regarding the payment of compensation under contracts with the State Insurance of the USSR on the part of the State, financial and economic crises in society. The carried out analysis allowed to build models of multiple regression according to the indicators of insurance penetration into the country’s economy by the «non-life» and the «life» insurance. An acceptable link between the resulting indicators and independent factors has been identified: the number of insurers in the market and the US dollar exchange rate against the national currency. The results of the research allow to increase the activity of insurers in the market by means of: eliminating regulatory obstacles on the part of the State, determining the financial relationship between insurers and intermediaries as transparent and open, evaluating the impact of factors on the ability to increase the proportion of insurance in GDP, substantiating the role of the NBU as a future regulator in the insurance market.

The existing scientific approaches to the definition of factors that determine the structure of capital are generalized, and on this basis it is clarified which of them now take place in the formation of sources of financing in domestic enterprises, including through analysis of statistical information on the capital structure of enterprises of Ukraine. Specific factors influencing the capital structure of domestic enterprises in terms of external and domestic, manufacturing, economic and organizational activities are provided. Given the changing economic conditions, domestic enterprises need to pay special attention to internal factors, as the influence on external factors and the legislative restrictions on the formation of financial resources of Ukrainian enterprises on the part of enterprises is limited. The main factors that can be influenced by an enterprise, and which significantly affect the ratio between different sources of financial resources, are: dividend policy, the mentality of owners and managers, use of production capacities, level of forecasting and the capability to respond quickly to external threats and challenges. Domestic enterprises should form a capital structure depending on the type of economic activity, organizational-legal form, and changing conditions of Ukrainian economy, constantly monitoring changes in these factors and making adjustments in the implementation of activities. It is worth looking for a compromise between profitability and riskiness, choosing the optimal ratio between own and borrowed capital, promptly responding to the existing challenges.

It is suggested that a method of hierarchy analysis should be used to solve this task. A hierarchical model of choosing a bank cluster scenario is built up, which consists of two levels. The choice at the first level of this model of the set of features inherent in cluster forms of the organization, namely territory, concentration, innovation, competition and interconnectedness, is reasoned. At the second level of the hierarchical model, the choice of the main indicators that determine the formation of banking clusters is substantiated. The generalizing results of the analysis of the selected indicators are presented. The expediency of using three main indicators is substantiated: number of branches, financial stability and balance profit of bank, which have the greatest impact on the possibility of creating a banking cluster. A cluster analysis is carried out, which resulted in the formation of six banking clusters. It is determined that the main advantages of creating banking clusters in Ukraine are: strengthening the image of regional clusters, facilitating information exchange within the business environment, direct financing of individual projects, expansion of banking networks, promoting transnational ties with other clusters or regions.

Practical Recommendations for Managing the Money Flows of Enterprise (p. 370 - 374)
One of the main goals of the business is to obtain excess money flow, which can be achieved by daily accounting and control over the receipt and spending of money means. The author considers as the main instrument for proper management of money flows the Money flow information report, which is a table that shows the daily receipt and spending of money means, as well as the balances of money means in bank accounts and the cash registers of enterprise. The Money flow information report solves several problems: showing the amount of revenue, payments and excess money flow; informs on what days the cash gaps have arisen and what measures have been taken to eliminate them; maintains an appropriate level of solvency. With this in mind, it is proposed to allocate such types: preliminary (planned), operational, reporting (actual), analytical and consolidated reports. The compiling of the planned Money flow information report is suggested to be carried out according to the following steps: determining the amount of money balance at the beginning of the month; composing a payment schedule; drawing up a money flow plan based on avoiding cash gaps. The proposed recommendations for the management of the enterprise’s money flows and, in particular, compiling Money flow information reports will allow to avoid cash gaps in practical use, to balance money payments and revenues, as well as to build an effective system of money flow management to achieve the main goal of the enterprise.

Theoretical Aspects of the Bank’s Financial Stability (p. 375 - 381)
The article considers the essence of the concept of «financial stability of a banking institution». Both the external and the internal influences on the activities of commercial banks in the current socio-economic conditions of Ukraine are classified and defined. It is pointed out that the bank itself plays a leading role in financial stability, subject to effective regulation and the use of domestic methods of ensuring financial stability. The existing methodical approaches to assessing the financial stability of banks used in domestic practice are analyzed. On the basis of studying the components of the bank’s financial stability is suggested that the quality of assessment depends on the depth and completeness of accounting of all factors, as well as on the status of the information provision. It is defined that the analytical information provided by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is one of the most significant. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the level of information provided to banks by expanding the volume of official information provided by the NBU, as this information is almost irreplaceable with information from other sources. The main drawback of assessing the financial stability of banks is that this assessment is based on an analysis of the facts that have already occurred, i.e., on the determination of a static financial stability. The analysis and generalization of existing approaches reveals significant differences, both in the components of financial stability and in the indicators used for assessment. It is noted that the methods of assessing the financial condition of bank on the basis of analysis of coefficients and integral methods of assessment have become the most common. A comparative analysis of the existing methods of ranking the financial stability of banks is made.

Compliance with the AML/CFT Standards in the Context of Implementing the Infrastructure Potential of the Financial Market of Ukraine (p. 267 - 274)
The article is aimed at exploring ways to increase and implement the infrastructure potential of Ukrainian financial market. All financial services providers involved in financial operations, including those working with the low-income clients, must comply with anti-money-laundering and terrorist financing countering legislation. Ukraine is characterized by a relatively low level of income of the majority of citizens, which actually forces financial institutions to adapt to working with the low-income clients. This feature also generates additional risks to increase the infrastructure potential of the market, as it is considered to be risky from the point of view of the FATF. However, at the same time, adapting financial institutions to the needs of low-income clients creates the prerequisites for the implementation of infrastructure potential, as there is a specific stratum of customers with particular demand for financial services. Compliance with the AML/CFT standards requirements for Ukraine means abandoning the idea of turning its own economy into a financial offshore and requires continuing to look for other ways to increase the infrastructure potential of the financial market. Despite the fact that Ukraine is a low-income country, opportunities to increase the infrastructure potential of the financial market should also be considered in the sphere of development of the financial services segment for the low-income citizens. Such a segment also has its own inherent risks, so compliance with the FATF requirements is also mandatory for it.

The article specially focuses on explaining the role of energy-efficient and resource-saving technologies in this management conception, as well as identifying the problems associated with the introduction of such technologies. Financing for the projects related to the introduction of energy-efficient equipment allows to receive a positive economic effect by reducing the average daily consumption of electricity, natural gas, other energy carriers.

The factors (moral-ethical, socio-economic, organizational, political) contributing to the emergence of deviant behavior of taxpayers, thus limiting the effectiveness of the manifestation of the State-creative patriotism of the nation are allocated. It is substantiated that taxes are a quantitative measure of the actual State-creative patriotism of the nation and specify the real participation of taxpayers in the formation of the financial life support and development of the State. The strategiology of the development of behavioral finance is synthesized as a specific direction of knowledge in the system of financial science, which is functionally and architecturally determined by behavioral finances, with their inherent patterns, the importance of motivations and psychological (irrational) factors when choosing both a model of financial behavior and financial decision-making by individuals.

Development of the Mechanism of Taxation of Agricultural Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 270 - 277)
The article examines the process of formation and development of taxation mechanism of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine; conformity of this mechanism to the tax potential of taxpayers is identified; conceptual foundations for the improvement of tax legislation are elaborated, taking into account the stakeholders’ interests. The retrospective analysis of the process of development of the mechanism of tax payment by agricultural enterprises of Ukraine is carried out; three related stages are singled out and the influence of each of them on the level of profitability of enterprises is determined. Using this analysis, it is found that from 1999, special mechanisms of taxation of agricultural producers were introduced in Ukraine. Initially, they were manifested in the form of a fixed agricultural tax (FAT) and a special regime of VAT, and in 2015, almost without changing the essence, they were transformed into the payment of a single tax of the 4th group, which is now used by the vast majority of enterprises in the industry. This situation clearly shows the imperfection of the modern mechanism of taxation of agrarians, because any tax preferences should be changed and revised at least every 5 years, otherwise they will lead to a curvature of the economic conjuncture. On the basis of an macro-economic analysis, disadvantages of the current taxation regime are identified, which are manifested in the absence of differentiation of taxpayers in terms of income. As a result of the study, the conception of the tax mechanism of agrarians is elaborated, based on the defined principles, purpose, tasks and involving the application of a differentiated approach to taxation of taxpayers. Also, for each category (large, medium-sized and small enterprises), the respective mechanism of collecting taxes is determined.

The Conceptual Bases of Organization of Risk Management System in Banks (p. 238 - 245)
A banking institution becomes extremely vulnerable in its activities, when out of ability to create a mechanism for identifying and overcoming destabilizing factors of influence. Therefore, an important component in the overall management of bank is the introduction of a risk management system. The article is aimed at examining the conceptual bases of the bank’s risk management system and the methodological principles of its organization. The research has showed that the risk management process requires a systematic approach, based on a certain mechanism presented in the form of risk management. It includes a set of techniques, procedures and risk management policies and forms the risk management strategy and tactics. The foundations of the construction of the bank’s risk management system are the international standards Basel II and Basel III and the requirements of the regulator, in particular regarding the structure of the risk management process, its efficiency and some specific aspects. It is substantiated that the construction of a comprehensive system of risk management of the bank provides for the definition of: tasks, principles, objects and subjects, methods and instruments of risk management.

The Methods of Reforming the Global Currency and Regulatory System: Innovative Scenarios (p. 262 - 269)
The article is aimed at formulating the most possible prospective scenarios for reforming the global currency and regulatory system. The first scenario is a supra-nationally oriented currency system, which provides for the introduction of non-cash supranational monetary units in the status of the main international reserve means – instead of the U.S. dollar, with a purpose to counteract its chronic depredation. The second scenario of reforming the global currency and regulatory system is its orientation toward the official remonetization of gold, which provides for the restoration of the gold’s monetary status (in a certain modified form) as a universal and natural value benchmark, as well as its transformation into a first-class asset such as cash or government bonds. The third scenario of reforming the global currency and regulatory system is connected with the development of a multipolar currency system. Its material core is the consolidation of national monetary systems in terms of the formation of international currency unions and collective currencies. And finally, the fourth scenario of reforming the global currency and regulatory system is the digitalized currency system. It provides a mandatory component of the introduction of digital currencies – the cryptocurrencies characterized by presence of the computer nodes controlled by blockchain and evenly distributed at the inter-country level. These elements will be used in those elements of currency systems, where it will be possible to achieve savings in the transaction costs of economic agents for settlement transactions and ensure high reliability of the carried out transactions.

Status and Priorities of Financial Inclusion in Ukraine (p. 294 - 300)
The article is aimed at theoretical and methodological substantiation of the status and priorities of financial inclusion in Ukraine. The theoretical analysis of the issues raised in the research was carried out in accordance with the general methodological scheme of the system approach. In solving certain problems, the statistic and economic method was used – to assess the current status and tendencies of financial inclusion in Ukraine, as well as methods of comparative analysis and analogy – to determine the prospects for inclusive development of the financial system of Ukraine. It is substantiated that the status of implementation of financial inclusion in Ukraine during 2015-2019 is characterized by an increase in the number of non-cash transactions using payment cards, dynamic development of payment infrastructure in both the trade and the service networks. The author advances arguments that the important tasks of development and inclusiveness of the financial sector of Ukraine are the development of the National payment system «Ukrainian payment space», expansion of payment infrastructure and improvement of conditions for settlement transactions using payment cards, including in the Internet. It is proved that low incomes of the population, limited access to financial services, underdevelopment of payment infrastructure, low level of financial education and financial literacy of Ukrainians are the key reasons for the slow development of financial inclusion in Ukraine. It is determined that the prospects for the development of financial inclusion are connected with the creation of effective mechanisms for protecting the rights of consumers of financial services, conditions for increasing financial literacy of the population and its awareness of the services of both the banking and the non-bank financial and credit institutions, the development of payment infrastructure and digital technologies in the financial sphere.

The purpose of this work is to substantiate the principles of financial stability of investment funds, which are inverse (opposite) to the principles of creating financial pyramids. The elements of scientific novelty include the specification of the peculiarities of compliance with the principles of financial stability of investment funds in modern conditions in Ukraine. An investment fund is also a kind of financial pyramid, but it can be created on the basis of the principles of stability, which are the opposite of the rules of existence of fraudulent financial pyramids. The such principles are defined as: dominance of assets over liabilities and minimization of overhead costs (including advertising); income from assets must exceed the value of liabilities; use of financial leverage or formation of assets according to a certain rule, which cannot be achieved by an individual investor; transparency and controlThe economic reasons for the existence of investment funds are considered, and the reasons for the success of individual financial institutions, which are essentially the relevant funds: Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and Berkshire Hathaway, are analyzed. The structure of the balance sheet of the investment fund is determined, which allows to adhere to certain principles of financial stability and use financial leverage. It is specified that an individual investor (individual) cannot use financial leverage for investment activities in the stock market, as it cannot issue bonds. The use of borrowed funds (broker or bank loans) allows an individual investor to make only short-term speculations that are very risky. At best, the average individual investor will only succeed in reaching the level of the S&P 500 stock index, while the investment fund will be able to exceed this index through the use of financial leverage.

Analyzing the Efficiency of Local Taxation in Ukraine (p. 332 - 338)
One of the key factors on which the efficient functioning of the entire national economy depends is the organization of the State taxation system. In today’s conditions, a sufficient amount of revenues of local budgets are needed to meet the social needs of the population, to solve problems of local nature at the administrative-territorial level. For the successful social and economic development of territories, it is necessary to have a reasonable amount of funds in the budget, as well as a plan for the efficient use of these funds. As result of the research, the essence of local taxes and their efficiency are allocated. It is specified that the Tax Code is a prerequisite for fulfilling the tasks of tax reform and a step towards creating a more perfect taxation system. The current status of the revenue base of budgets in Ukraine, the dynamics of collections of taxes and fees in budget revenues during 2014-2019 are analyzed; the role of local taxes in the formation of the revenue part of local budgets is defined. The results of the process of financial decentralization in Ukraine are summarized, in particular, the increase of powers that can be transferred to the local level in order to increase the independence of local budgets and improve the inter-budget relations. The mechanism of budget alignment, which replaced the formula for distribution of the volume of inter-budget transfers, is researched. The necessity of further reform of local taxation taking into account the competitive advantages and interests of each individual region, optimization, expansion of the base of local taxation and the right of local authorities to establish and collect local taxes and fees in order to avoid problems of forming the revenue base of local budgets of Ukraine is substantiated.

Tax Burden in the Management of Fixed Assets of Transport Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 339 - 348)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the structure and dynamics of the tax burden in the management system of fixed assets in transport enterprises based on a study of macroeconomic indicators and information provided by the State Tax Service of Ukraine and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Disparities in the tax burden, a significant increase in the amount of taxes paid are identified; their structure and distribution between periods and modes of transport are calculated. A significant increase in tax pressure on transport companies has been determined for all indicators. The amount of taxes paid increased more than two and a half times in 2015–2019, including the increase by 23% in 2019. The largest part of tax payments is occupied by value added tax and taxes and fees on personal income (a total of 47% of all tax payments), income tax, property tax, single tax, rent for transportation and use of subsoil, special use of water, environmental and excise taxes, fees for parking spaces for vehicles. A significant share is made up of other revenues related to the specifics of the activities of transport companies, in particular, the State form of ownership. The share of total taxes in net sales revenue at transport enterprises reaches 12.1%, the proportion of income tax in the book value of fixed assets increased to 1.1%. The unit value of fixed assets generates 12% of tax revenues. Given the capital intensity of the transport industry, the significant level of depreciation of fixed assets, insufficient use of depreciation as a tax shield and significant tax pressure on transport companies, it is important to find ways to improve tax planning, which should be considered in the fixed assets management system. The tax policy of the State should be aimed at supporting transport companies in the renewal and modernization of rolling stock and transport infrastructure.

Managing the Bank’s Currency Risk in the Face of Turbulence in Global Financial Markets (p. 288 - 295)
The article is aimed at researching the theoretical-methodological and practical aspects of the bank’s currency risk management. To solve the tasks set, the authors use general scientific and specific methods, in particular: logic-dialectical, mathematical and graphic. Based on generalization, analysis and comparison of different approaches, the methods and instruments for managing the bank’s currency risk are systematized. The bank’s currency risks are typed and the main determinants of their occurrence are identified. The types of currency risk hedging instruments are systematized and their contents are disclosed. The essence of the bank’s currency position, the methodology of its account are disclosed and the necessity of compliance with the methodology are substantiated. The main operations that influence the bank’s currency position are identified. An analytical assessment of the currency position of banks is performed (JSC CB «PrivatBank», JSC «Oschadbank», JSC «Raiffeisen Bank Aval», JSC «A-Bank»); the model of maximization of the bank’s profits is computed and appropriate conclusions about their activities are drawn. With the use of economic-mathematical instrumentarium the dynamics of the hryvnia currency exchange rate are forecasted and the indicators of VaR for banks (JSC CB «PrivatBank», JSC«Oschadbank», JSC «Raiffeisen Bank Aval», JSC «A-Bank») are calculated according to different time horizons. It is determined that the model of minimization of currency risk through currency position management serves as an effective instrument for analyzing and substantiating internal limits of currency risk and permissible ranges of changes in financial results of the bank’s activity. Prospects for further research are: 1) development of an instrumentarium for currency risk assessment based on ARCH and GARCH models of various modifications; 2) development of macro stress tests with a focus on currency risk and taking into account the systemic characteristic, which is the transmission of currency risk to other sectors of both the financial market and the economy.

The Methodological Instrumentarium for Assessing Compliance Risks of Financial Monitoring of Banks (p. 296 - 309)
The article examines the essence and directions of identification of compliance risks of banks. The criteria for assessing compliance risks of financial monitoring of banks are purported to be: the level of development of the compliance system; experience in applying influence measures to banks by the NBU for violation of the requirements of legislation in the field of prevention and counteraction to money laundering and financing of terrorism (in the form of written warnings and fines); operational risk level and staff turnover. The defined directions of assessment include result factors (taking into account cases of risk materialization) and the factors that make the compliance function implementation process uncertain. The sequence and methodological instrumentarium for assessing compliance risks of financial monitoring of banks are presented, which provides for: formation of a database for analytical research by means of digitization of data (using coefficient approach and binary characteristics method); consolidation of the results of computation of indicators for the integral assessment of the researched phenomenon (by building up a composite indicator by means of the weighted amounts method). Based on information on the activities of individual banks, which during 2014-2020 belonged to the category of systemically important, practical approbation of the developed methodological instrumentarium was carried out. Recommendations on minimization of compliance risks of banks in the field of financial monitoring are formed, including: improvement of intrabank control systems; ensuring uninterrupted work and thorough training of staff; introduction of operational algorithms of actions to identify the reasons for their involvement in the processes of money laundering; using a risk-oriented approach to test business functions; introduction of effective monitoring systems and expansion of the list of compliance risk management instruments.

Using the Methods of Analysis of the Operational Environment to Assess the Efficiency of Commercial Banks (p. 309 - 315)
The article provides a study on the technical efficiency of commercial banks using the operational environment analysis method DEA. The analysis was carried out during 2014-2020 for all commercial banks that operated in this period. The Malmquist Index was used to assess performance changes over time. The analysis was based on the models BCC and CCR, which are focused on inputs and results (effects). Assumptions about the model were used when selecting both results and inputs. The efficiency problematics are extremely complex. The DEA allows to test efficiency in a situation where we have one share more input data and one share more effect. The resulting efficiency curve of this population is created by its most efficient units. Objects are considered efficient when they lie on the efficiency curve, while technical inefficiency increases with more considerable distance from the curve. According to the simplest definition, efficiency is the ratio of effects to enclosed resources; it can also be defined as a measure of rationality of actions. Research based upon the data on all commercial banks that operated for the specified period showed a discrepancy between the minimum and maximum values of efficiency coefficients. The distribution of banks by the level of efficiency coefficient also indicates that the banking sector is very diverse. The performed study may be the basis for further, more detailed research in this direction.

Tax Regulation of Investment Activity of Ukrainian Banks (p. 316 - 324)
The article is aimed at researching the tax regulation of investment activity of banks of Ukraine in the current conditions of development of the national economy; identifying the tax stimuli and deterrent factors of investment activity of banking institutions in the formation of investment portfolio. Tax regulation of the banking system directly influences the development of not only the monetary system, but also the national economy in general. Tax instruments for stimulating investment activity of banks are proposed to be grouped depending on the mechanism of influence, goals and types of investments. The dynamics of investments and their share in the assets of Ukrainian banks over the past five years are analyzed. The annual advance in the share of investments in the assets of Ukrainian banks shows an increase in the interest of banks in placing funds into investment objects. The assessment of the change in the composition and structure of the investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks for 2015–2019 was carried out, identifying that domestic banks focused on improving the liquidity of investments, i. e., financial instruments that can be sold at any time at favorable prices. The dynamics of the composition and structure of the portfolio of securities of domestic banks in recent years was researched, determining that the largest share for 2015–2016 made the securities for sale (more than 86%), while the securities before maturity amounted to more than 10%. When considering the structure of the portfolio of securities of banks during 2017-2019, it is specified that the most important is the proportion of investments in securities, which are accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income, namely, more than 70%. Having examined the problems of domestic banking investment, we believe that stimulation in this direction should be carried out in terms of creating a favorable stable regulatory framework and an effective taxation regime.

Essence of Competitiveness in the Banking Sector: The Status and Problems (p. 324 - 330)
The article is aimed at closer defining the content of the concept of «bank competitiveness», as well as analyzing the status and problems of ensuring a competitive environment in the banking system of Ukraine. The essence of banking competition was researched and a critical analysis of approaches to understanding the concept of «bank competitiveness» was carried out. Under the concept of «bank competitiveness», it is proposed to understand the integral characterization, which will reflect the real and potential opportunities of the bank to create and promote competitive products and services that meet all customer requirements, occupy and maintain stable positions in the banking market. The analysis of the competitive environment in the banking sector of Ukraine was carried out. The distribution of net assets of banks by groups: State-owned, foreign, private and separately PrivatBank is also analyzed. The assessment of the level of concentration in the banking sector was carried out by calculating the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index by the level of total and net assets, as well as by the market of deposits of individuals. According to the identified dynamics, an unambiguous conclusion was made that the banking sector of Ukraine is low-concentrated. In general, the analysis of the competitive environment showed positive tendencies and an increase in the competitiveness of banks. The problems that continue to adversely affect the level of competitiveness of banks are allocated as follows: significant proportion of the State-owned banks; problems in lending to big business, as well as the generally low level of capitalization of Ukrainian banks compared to foreign credit institutions; the insufficient number of products and services offered by banks compared to foreign banking markets.

Monetary Policy of the State in a Recession (p. 356 - 361)
The coronavirus pandemic and measures for curbing it have a serious negative impact not only on people’s health, but also on their well-being. Countries are experiencing a decline in GDP, rising unemployment and poverty. Many governments are trying to support businesses and individuals through various fiscal and monetary measures. The COVID-19 pandemic reached Ukraine when the national economy was already in poor condition. The effects of the recently introduced quarantine, including slowed or halted production and declining trade, can only worsen the situation. The government does not have sufficient economic resources to get out of the near-term crises in both the healthcare and the economy. The way forward is likely to include, in addition to international aid, not only short-term measures to mitigate the immediate effects of the pandemic, but also long-term planning to build a more robust economy and its «inoculation» against future shocks. The relevance of the research topic is based upon the matter that governments of many world countries pay enough attention to the problem of development of the national economy and stimulating the growth rate of the economy. Of course, it is difficult to imagine the development of the economy without a fundamental base that will be included in the financial system of the country. The basis of effective operation of the financial system in the country’s economy are such elements of monetary policy, using which it is possible to ensure a steady pace of economic growth.

Simplified Taxation System: To Save the Small Business in Lockdown Conditions in Ukraine (p. 361 - 370)
The value of small business for the economy and the need to stimulate it in lockdown conditions remains an unchanged position both at the level of the scientific community and at the level of public administration. The situation with the pandemic not only complicated the conditions of functioning of small and medium-sized businesses (hereinafter referred to as SMEs), but also justified the need for its support as a non-alternative measure for stabilization of the unemployment rate in the country, the possibility of effective operation and self-reliance at local levels of the budget system, specially, local budgets. The status and conditions of SME functioning, its importance in the structure of local budget revenues are researched. Changes in the tendencies as to the volumes and structure of tax revenues of local budgets are defined. The dynamics of tax revenues to local budgets is analyzed in order to determine the budget-forming taxes. The key factors of influence on the revenue part of local budgets are systematized as follows: economic, political and legal, demographic, socio-cultural. The emphasis is placed on modern trends in the functioning of SMEs, financial relations between the State at the level of local budgets and SME entities. The analysis of the implementation of plans and the planned task of tax revenues to local budgets is carried out and the value of small businesses in the structure of sales of products is determined. The dynamics of financial results before taxation of small enterprises is determined, which substantiates their higher productivity and maneuverability in the conditions of instability. A study of the dependence between the level of tax revenues to local budgets from a single tax and the productivity of small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs proves the author’s position on the need to use a simplified taxation system as a measure to preserve the viability of small businesses in lockdown conditions in order to stabilize the economy at the local level. The importance of SMEs in the employment structure in terms of enterprises by their size proves the need to stimulate entrepreneurship in the face of global instability.

Ukraine’s Public Debt: Current Status and Problems (p. 332 - 337)
In today’s conditions, it is quite problematic to pick out a State that does not use borrowings in order to further finance the needs of the State budget. Therefore, one of the most important problems of the economy of each country is the problem of changing the volume of public debt. The concept of public debt is immediately associated with a negative phenomenon. However, the experience of many countries shows the opposite – public debt is within the permissible limits of no potential threat to the economy. However, in Ukraine, its indicators in recent years have been steadily increasing and far exceeding the limits of the norm. This tendency is due to a number of factors on which the amount of public debt depends. The article is aimed at disclosing the theoretical aspects of the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt of Ukraine, as well as their differences. The structure of the debt and its volumes during 2016-2020 are researched. The views of foreign and domestic researchers on determining the concept of the aggregate public debt are considered. As result of the study, the current status of Ukraine’s public debt is reflected and the dynamics of both the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt in terms of their components have been analyzed for the past four years. The dependence of both the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt on the size of gross domestic product is considered. The share of the internal and the external debt in the composition of the public debt and the State-guaranteed debt respectively is analyzed. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the factors that affect the change in debt volumes, the main factors and causes that led to the growth of both the public and the State-guaranteed debt in Ukraine are defined, as well as the main trends and specific features of its formation. As a result, measures are proposed to overcome these problems.

The Qualimetric Model of Assessment of the Internal System of Compliance Risks Management in the System of Accumulative Pension Provision (p. 338 - 347)
The article discusses the issues of developing a qualimetric model for assessing the internal compliance risks management system in the system of accumulative pension provision. The object of the research is the compliance risks management in the system of accumulative pension provision. One of the least developed issues is the lack of research on the assessment of the internal risk management system on the basis of a qualimetric approach. This hinders the practical aspects of introspection regarding the assessment of the quality of the internal compliance risk management system in the system of accumulative pension provision. Using the methods of analysis and synthesis, the general components for the development of a qualimetric model of quantitative assessment of the internal system of compliance risk management in the system of accumulative pension provision are defined. A qualimetric approach was used during the research. Thus, the article, using the factor-criterion modeling (qualimetric approach), develops a qualimetric model of quantitative evaluation of the internal system of compliance risk management in the system of accumulative pension provision. The proposed qualimetric model has a number of features, including organizational and informational, methodological and process components of compliance risk management in the system of accumulative pension provision. This provides such an advantage as the possibility of introspection and internal control of the formed internal system of compliance risk management in the system of accumulative pension provision. Also, the developed model allows the application of a qualimetric approach to solving the scientific task of assessing the internal system of compliance risk management in the system of accumulative pension provision, which will provide a multi-criteral approach to the management of these risks.

The Ways to Improve the Mechanism of the State Regulation of the Compulsory Accumulative Pension Provision (p. 347 - 354)
The article is aimed at identifying the ways to improve the mechanism of the State regulation of compulsory accumulative pension provision. Both the effective development and the ways to improve the introduction of compulsory accumulative pension provision are analyzed. A financial cluster of the subjects of pension system is built up. The association of pension system subjects of Ukraine into a financial cluster will accelerate the full functioning of all levels of pension provision. The core of the cluster is the levels of the pension system. The main risks on the ways to improve the mechanism of the State regulation of compulsory accumulative pension provision are identified, namely: long-term investment; diversification of sources of coverage of the risk of disability; ensuring financial sustainability and balance; valuation of assets; corruption schemes of money laundering of pension assets; shadow economy of Ukrainian enterprises; audit and actuarial evaluation; procedure for accrual and the level of pension payments. The hierarchy of risk impact on the ways to improve the mechanism of the State regulation of compulsory accumulative pension provision is built up, where the risk of long-term investment holds the highest level. The following ways of improving the mechanism of the State regulation of compulsory accumulative pension provision are proposed: monitoring of elements of accumulative, redistribution and the State-based funding; introduction of the possibility of using investment projects of the financial market; improvement of the current system of the non-State pension provision, focused on protecting pension savings from the risks of a non-State pension fund; reducing socio-economic risks by increasing employment, increasing incomes of citizens, exercising the State supervision and controlling the diversification of financial instruments, balancing the financial resources of citizens through the reduced administrative costs.

Savings of the Population as a Source of the Banks’ Resources: The Essence, Status, and Prospects (p. 355 - 361)
The article is aimed at theoretical deepening the understanding of the essence of savings of the population and their role in the formation of the resource base of banks, as well as analyzing the domestic banking practices on the use of this source in the formation of the banks’ resources. The article explores the essence of savings of the population and defines their role in the formation of the banks’ resources. Based on the consideration of the approaches to understanding the concept of «savings of the population», it is stated that their essence is manifested in four aspects: firstly, the savings of the population are a deferred part of their income; secondly, savings are part of the money supply; thirdly, savings can be conceived as the process of making decisions on asset accumulation; fourthly, savings are embodied in the accumulated assets of different nature. The authors’ own understanding of the concept of «savings of the population» is proposed. The main forms of savings of the population, which are represented by both the financial and the non-financial instruments, are generalized. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of analytical indicators of savings of the population and their role in the formation of the banks’ resources. It is determined that the savings of the population play an exceptionally important role in the formation of the resource base of banks. This is justified by the share of deposits of individuals in the resources of banks, which since 2015 has been steadily growing and at the end of 2019 amounted to 37%. The problematic aspect in the analysis of public savings is the lack of data on their size accumulated by the total. The assessment of the State-based programs of Ukraine showed that they do not focus on the importance and role of savings of the population as a source of investment resources for the development of the economy. The main tendencies and problems that prevent the maximum efficient use of savings of the population for the formation of banks’ resources are allocated.

Financial Diagnostics of Banks in the Process of Consolidation: The Goals, Methods, Analytical Approaches (p. 361 - 368)
The article is aimed at substantiating the economic feasibility and choosing from the methods of financial diagnostics of banks during consolidation in order to evaluate an agreement object as an investment project. The main directions of financial diagnostics of the M&A agreements for banks are defined. Emphasis is placed on the need to differentiate between the interpretation of the concepts of «financial diagnostics», «due diligence» and Financial Due Diligence (FDD). Taking into account the world and domestic experience, due diligence understanding is systematized and generalized through consideration of the related processes of the M&A agreement at the transaction level. The factors of the M&A agreement, which outline the areas of due diligence, are determined, the understanding of which ensures to have reduced the transactional risk of the transaction. It is specified that the main analytical instrumentarium for adequate substantiation and formation of an absolutely complete idea of the value of the agreed object is the FDD, which also serves as a quality basis for elaborating a strategy for the development of consolidated bank after the completion of the M&A agreement. The traditional FDD analytical instrumentarium, which covers both financial and institutional aspects, is proposed to be supplemented by including banks in the range of financial risks and sensitivity assessments. It is noted that to determine the internal value of the bank – the object of an agreement as a project for investment, approaches are used to forecast future activities, which include methods of discounting cash flows (DCF) and assessing the impact of the internal rate of return on the weighted average cost of capital (IRR / = WACC). On the basis of the generated sample of financial reports of 150 world banks, according to Refintiv, modeling of attractiveness of banks as investment projects through approaches (DCF) and (IRR / = WACC) is carried out. Criteria have been formed to choose an approach to assess the internal value of the banking business. On the basis of the allocated criteria, the results of modeling the attractiveness of projects according to the chosen approaches are compared. It is concluded that the most optimal in terms of accuracy of determining the internal (fundamental) value of the bank is the approach through the modeling of cash flows.

Features of Formation of Models of the Risk Control on the Part of Client Taking into Account the Likelihood of Implementation of Network Schemes (p. 377 - 388)
The research is aimed at further developing the theoretical provisions, elaborating the methodological approaches together with scientific-practical recommendations as to the formation of models of the risk control on the part of client, taking into account the likelihood of implementation of network schemes in order to protect against money laundering and financing terrorism. The article closer defines the essence of the concepts of «model of the risk control on the part of client» (taking into account the main components of the model of the risk control on the part of client) and «network scheme». In addition, a classification of existing network schemes of legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime is provided, on the basis of which a methodical approach to the formation of risk-control models is proposed, taking into account the likelihood of implementation of network schemes to ensure money laundering and financing terrorism. The proposed methodical approach includes four main stages: definition of the basis and components of the model; formation of an array of data for the assessment of risk control models of the bank’s clients; formalization of relationships and formation of a model for assessing risk control of client; assessment of the effectiveness of risk control models of the bank’s clients. A combined (combination of a single- and two-tier model) model of risk control of the bank’s clients given the likelihood of implementation of network schemes to protect against money laundering and financing terrorism based on a fuzzy cognitive card containing 28 components (conceptions) is specified. The effectiveness of the model of risk control of the bank’s clients regarding the implementation of network schemes by applying a script approach taking into account the variables of management factors, which include fines, written notifications and measures to minimize risks as to the initial risk of the bank’s client, is determined.

The Theoretical Aspects of the Functioning of the System of Personal Income Taxation (p. 389 - 394)
The publication outlines theoretical aspects of the system of personal income taxation and determines that individuals and the tax agent are the paramount actors in certain synergistic relations of the institutional system elements. The state of formation of the revenue part of the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine was researched. Monitoring the formation of the revenue part of the consolidated budget is a set of methods for identifying and assessing the causes and signs that may lead to an increase in the tax culture of personal income tax payers and, at the same time, to increase the revenue part of the budget. The study of the structure of the tax determined that income in the form of wages and income tax, which is paid by the tax agent on income in the form of wages, dominate with great advantage and indicate the urgency of changing the policy of the State and in the minds of taxpayers oward their diversification. The fiscal pressure of income tax on taxpayers is analyzed. The tax burden should also take into account the cost of social benefits received, and therefore local self-government bodies should have information on the amount of taxes paid by one person or one employee and their dynamics in the future. A forecast of the tax burden on payment of tax to local budgets is carried out. It is proved that local self-government bodies should have not only a sufficiently predicted, but also an ever-growing amount of income tax, which requires urgent reform of the current taxation system. Ways to improve the system of personal income taxation are proposed. The author singles out the main stages of the strategy for reforming the personal income taxation system and the strategic goal: obtaining maximum revenues to the budget with an acceptable tax burden on the taxpayer. A set of factors of influence and differences between the taxation system of Ukraine and those established in other countries is formed.

The Models of Assessment of the Insurance Companies’ Activities (p. 395 - 400)
The article is aimed at assessing the impact of the Solvency II requirements on the Ukrainian insurance market and making a forecast of possible situations after the introduction of these requirements. To achieve the aim, the following tasks were set: to describe both the quantitative and the qualitative requirements of the Solvency II in the EU and the conditions for their use in the Ukrainian insurance market; to predict a possible change in the insurance market of Ukraine under the influence of the Solvency II quantitative requirements, which was performed as a result of the presented research. It is specified that the «novelty» envisaged by the Solvency II, which is related to the use of internal models, is an important step in the different sense of the assessment of the activities of insurance companies. This assessment is dominated not only by the quantitative parameters, but also by the problem of generally recognized risk, to which company is inclined and which is ready to take over. However, a significant number of aspects of this approach still need to be closer defined. The criteria related to the use of internal models for the needs of the supervisory authority have so far had the nature of the initial assumptions, and the experience of insurance companies (using internal models for their own needs, not the needs of the supervisory authority) concerns only a small percentage of companies. The internal model allows the insurance company to independently determine the actual demand for the required amount of guarantee capital. However, internal models include certain risks. The most important types of risks to consider in the internal models are grouped as follows: technical and insurance risk; risk associated with assets; operational risk and other types of risk. It is projected that the implementation of the project is likely to face many more unexpected problems, but the idea itself is interesting and understood by both insurance companies and regulatory authorities.

Financial Security of the Banking System of Ukraine: The Essence and Evaluation (p. 243 - 251)
The article is aimed at defining the essence of financial security of the banking system (FSBS) and carrying out a comprehensive evaluation of its current status. The article examines and systematizes the publications of scholars on the definition of «financial security of the bank». To examine the status of the FSBS, the indicators of resource-forming, credit, investment activities of banks and the dynamics of their income and expenses are analyzed. In the course of analysis, it was found out that the indicators of the resource-forming and investment components of the banking sector of Ukraine have positive dynamics and do not pose threats to its financial security. The analysis of credit security indicators identified a significant threat to the financial security of the banking system – a significant proportion of non-performing loans. The dynamics of incomes and expenses of the banking sector has demonstrated that the banking system is gradually coming out of the crisis and has a positive financial result since 2018. To summarize the analysis, both the indices and the integral indicator of the FSBS were computed in accordance with the methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, the results of computing led to conclusion that the financial security of the banking system of Ukraine is at a dangerous level. Prospects for further research are condition due to the low level of financial security of the banking system of Ukraine and the need to develop a set of measures aimed at improving the overall level of financial security of the banking system.

An Overview of the Fiscal Decentralization in the Context of the State and Local Taxes in Ukraine (p. 251 - 257)
One of the key elements of the analysis of the efficiency of reforms at the State level is the effectiveness and a shift in quantitative indicators of the relevant statistical categories. In Ukraine, the period after 2014 is considered to be the time of legislative changes and reforms. Among them, according to experts and politicians, the most successful is the decentralization reform. Its implementation is based primarily on changes in the taxation system both at the national and local levels. Accordingly, the main indicator of achieving the goals of fiscal decentralization can be considered changes in the structure of tax redistribution between the local and the State budgets. This article provides an assessment of the level and dynamics of the main types of taxes as to their proportion between different levels of fiscal centralization. In the course of the research, a comparative analysis of rates and monetary measurement of both the national and local taxes and fees was carried out. The authors account tax revenues in a geographical context and during the last eight years, which allows assessing the impact of the reform on the amount of taxes collected, identifying the leading regions, as well as tracking the taxation trends. As a result of the research, it is found out that fiscal decentralization since the beginning of its implementation has been a significant factor in the growth of tax revenues in local budgets. Nevertheless, personal income tax prevails among fiscal fillers of budgets at the local level, so the problems of unemployment and lack of jobs in times of coronavirus crisis pose a challenge for the financial security of territorial communities. Further research on the topic is considered promising given the effectiveness of combining the benefits of fiscal decentralization with the relevant instruments of the State support to increase the local budget funds.

Payment Systems in Ukraine and Risks of their Functioning (p. 257 - 263)
The article is aimed at defining the main aspects of the development of the current state of electronic payment systems in Ukraine and generalizing the main risks of violation of their functioning. The carried out research systematized information on the functioning of payment systems (both internal and international) and forms of payments in Ukraine (cash, non-cash – electronic). Among more than 80 domestic and international payment systems created by banks and non-bank institutions, the National Bank of Ukraine defines the following categories of importance of payment systems in Ukraine in order to ensure their continuous and stable functioning – systemically important, socially important and important. It is determined that in Ukraine at the legislative level, taking into account world trends, the payment infrastructure is being actively modernized, especially in the direction of protection of the rights of financial services consumers in the online space. Along with the advent of new technologies of electronic banking, opportunities to diversify the product range of remote services, atypical threats to traditional banking activities of both the internal and the external nature arise. The research systematizes the key risks inherent in functioning payment systems: legal, financial (total commercial risk, liquidity risk, commercial risk), settlement, operating, systemic. It is determined that the main risk in the banking and non-banking sectors is operational risk – the risk of loss of profit due to errors in the implementation of daily routine financial transactions. Prospects for further research in this direction are to find and implement effective mechanisms for minimizing or preventing risks of electronic payment systems.

The Program-Target Method and Problems of its Application During the Period of Healthcare Financing Reform (p. 264 - 271)
The publication is aimed at defining problems and directions for improving the program-target method in the healthcare during the reform of this industry sector. The article analyzes the program-target method and its use in the planning of expenditures in the field of healthcare, the process of implementation of budget programs in this sphere in the Zhytomyr region. It is determined that the program-target method is important in the formation of healthcare expenditures, but it can potentially further increase the effectiveness of the distribution of budget funds. Despite the actual reduction of healthcare expenditures in the structure of consolidated budget expenditures, the introduction of the target method has inluenced the rational use of budget funds in the field of healthcare. This indicates the feasibility of this method in the budget process. The problems of the program-target method in the formation of healthcare expenditures are substantiated, the main of which are: the lack of medium- and long-term budget planning, a large number of budget programs, the lack of financial indicators in the system of effective indicators, reducing the level of healthcare expenditures. It is proposed: to introduce medium- and long-term budget planning, which will allow to clearly form the targets and results of budget programs in the field of healthcare for several years and consolidate financial resources for the specified targets; to develop a system of financial indicators within the system of effective indicators, which will be based on the expenditures of budget funds for the patient, to form the prerequisites for saving budget funds.

The Priorities for Increasing the Efficiency of the Local Budgets’ Formation (p. 256 - 265)
The article is aimed at substantiating the basic principles of the formation of local budgets for the medium term in the context of improving the efficiency of budget policy. An analysis of socio-demographic and economic indicators of territorial communities is carried out, determining that their consolidation has a positive effect on the optimization of the local budget expenditures. The efficiency of expenditures of local budgets of Central and Eastern Europe was evaluated on the basis of Musgrave criteria and the aggregated indicator of quality of public goods and services. The empirical analysis of the Gini index, consumer inflation, the volatility of economic growth and exchange rate, the level of GDP per capita, the pace of economic growth and unemployment for Ukraine indicate the urgent need to develop the institutional environment of budget policy and improve the budgetary architectonics. An evaluation of the efficiency of local budget expenditures was also carried out through a comparative analysis of the quality of services in the sphere of management, education, infrastructure of healthcare, which was based on international ratings and indicators. It is identified that the highest level of efficiency is provided in the Baltic states, Poland; Armenia and Georgia (due to low GDP expenditures); Belarus. The carried out analysis justifies the need for Ukraine to optimize the expenditure part of the budget in favor of such areas as healthcare and infrastructure. Practical recommendations for increasing the fiscal significance of tax revenues credited to local budgets and for expanding the fiscal space of territorial communities are substantiated. The provisions on optimization of the tax debt of local budgets are presented.

The approaches to determining the essence of the concept of «joint stock capital» are analyzed. The system of management of joint stock capital of enterprise is presented, it is determined that the process of joint stock capital management is an aggregate of methods, forms and instruments for attracting funds from various sources in accordance with the needs of the development of the joint stock company. The formula for assessing the market value of enterprise is considered. The process of formation of equity of the enterprise is analyzed; the advantages and disadvantages of the types of sources of this type of funding are described. The peculiarities of attracting borrowed capital are studied and the influence of this method on the financial stability of the joint-stock company is described. The peculiarities of joint stock capital management on the example of PJSC «Motor Sich» have been characterized and conclusions have been drawn on optimizing the policy of capital management in joint stock companies. On the basis of the research of the theoretical aspect of the essence of the joint stock capital it is determined that the system of capital management in a joint stock company is characterized by interdependence and consistency of various subsystems and elements upon which depends the efficiency of functioning of the whole system, and, accordingly, the final result of effective capital management of the joint-stock company. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition of new interdependences between the elements that influence the adoption of managerial decisions in the management of joint stock capital. Further development of the theory of joint stock capital management in the context of behavioral economics can lead up to the replacement of classical economic models of behavior of the economic entity and up to the creation of a new mechanism for managing the joint stock capital of the enterprise.

The Achievements, Problems and Prospects of Functioning and Circulation of Agricultural Receipts in Ukraine (p. 273 - 279)
In present times, agrarian receipts are becoming increasingly popular among small agricultural producers. In parallel, the issues related to the improvement of the legal framework for their functioning and circulation, the incompleteness of the process of registration of property rights and lease agreements for land plots in the State Register of property rights to immovable property, low awareness of farmers with the mechanisms of circulation of these financial instruments appear to be relevant. The study is aimed at theoretical substantiating the problems, achievements and prospects associated with the functioning and circulation of agrarian receipts, as well as developing practical recommendations for improving this process. The study was carried out according to the general methodological scheme of the system approach. In the course of the study, the methods of comparative analysis, statistics-economic, abstract-logical, graphic, and some other methods were used. It is determined that the functioning of the five-year project «Agrarian Receipts in Ukraine», initiated by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), provided a powerful basis for the successful use of agrarian receipts. The peculiarities of functioning and circulation of agrarian receipts in agriculture of Ukraine are substantiated. A comparative analysis of the use of agrarian receipts and other credit instruments by agricultural producers is carried out. Problems are identified and advantages associated with the use of agrarian receipts are outlined. It is proved that agrarian receipts are an effective instrument for attracting relatively cheap credit resources by small and medium-sized agricultural producers. Registration of agrarian receipts speeds up the procedure for obtaining a loan; does not require additional collateral, since the collateral is the future crop; can be repaid by the products for which the loan was provided. It is determined that the improvement requires a mechanism of functioning of agrarian receipts in terms of increasing the period of their use, expanding the list of entities that can issue agrarian receipts, changing the collateral for agrarian receipt. Further research will be aimed at developing new and improving existing financial instruments of rural development.

Assessing the Personal Income Tax as a Fiscal Indicator (p. 279 - 285)
The article is aimed at examining the fiscal efficiency of personal income tax. It is proved that in order to simplify the administration of personal income tax, it is advisable to group the components of the total income of the taxpayer according to the relevant criteria. The results of the research once again testify to the fact that the most important role of personal income tax consists in regulating the cash (income) of the population and stimulating the use of labor force, as well as in being a significant source of income to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine. To disclose the topic of the research, the authors calculated the fiscal significance of personal income tax in terms of the State budget, which tends to increase and the fiscal significance of personal income tax in terms of the GDP of the State. Also, the analysis of the efficiency of collecting tax revenues using a number of coefficients, one of which is the coefficient of personal income tax collection, is carried out. Having estimated the mobilized amount of personal income tax revenues and tax revenues to the budget from the planned ones, it is proved that the efficiency of personal income tax administration is quite significant and close to 1. That is, the level of expenditures of the population for the maintenance of apparatus of the State Tax Service of Ukraine decreases at a faster pace than the population itself, which can be considered as a positive point. As result of the carried out analysis of the fiscal efficiency of personal income tax, it is concluded that the tax administration under a certain system of implemented tax decisions is deteriorating, and the fiscal significance of personal income tax in both the State’s budget and GDP is reducing, while the real value of revenues from this tax is decreasing. Assessing the efficiency of personal income tax according to the above indicators will allow to more accurately plan the receipt of this tax to the budget, will facilitate in the development of measures to improve the regulatory and fiscal action of personal income tax, eliminate deficiencies in the taxation mechanism, form a rational structure of tax revenues to the budget, and contribute to the development of an efficient tax policy.

To achieve the goal, the research had to solve the following tasks: determining the algorithm for calculating the financial indicators of the matrix; their calculation for the last five years of activities of the researched enterprise; determining on their basis the type of financial strategy; determination of factors influencing financial strategies; development of measures to improve the financial condition by changing the financial strategy. The object of research is PrJSC «Vinnytsia confectionery factory» («Roshen»). The matrix analysis of the company’s activities for 2015-2019 allowed to determine the further trajectory of the enterprise’s development. The indicators of economic activity of the enterprise led to an increase in financial potential, but at the same time there is an obvious limitation of the current development strategy.

Features of the Newest Methods of Money Laundering Using Financial Institutions (p. 132 - 140)
Activities to counter laundering the money, obtained by criminal means, require constant monitoring of the market, monitoring the activities of financial and non-financial institutions in order to prevent capital loss and financing of terrorism, as methods of money laundering are gaining new features every year. The article is aimed at systematizing the latest money laundering schemes appearing in the financial market and developing measures to prevent the implementation of such schemes through financial institutions. An analysis of data by the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine (SFMS) on the number of detected suspicious financial operations showed that the large majority of reports concerning such operations comes from banks. In view of this, the role of banks in countering the legalization of criminal income in Ukraine remains decisive today. The expansion of the range of financial instruments led to the emergence of new money laundering schemes. Such schemes can be based on P2P technologies, implemented through crowdfunding platforms, in particular through crowdinvestment. The authors also focused on the possibilities of using cryptocurrencies and online gambling tools for the purposes of legalizing criminal revenues. The peculiarities of applying the risk-oriented approach in the process of due diligent verification of clients of financial institutions and the operations they carry out, as well as the list of threats to financial institutions in case of their joining the money laundering activities, are determined. Such threats are manifested in reputational and legal aspects, and in the future inevitably lead to financial losses. The use of the latest technologies for the legalization of criminal income requires banks and non-bank institutions to improve the software used to detect and register suspicious transactions, improve cybersecurity, as well as maintain a high level of qualification of employees. The State own regulators should ensure proper control over the activities of highly risky financial infrastructure entities, as well as raise public awareness of the risks and consequences of criminal capital legalization.

Features of Ukraine’s Stock Market Integration Into the World Stock Market (p. 183 - 189)
The article is aimed at examining the current state and peculiarities of integration of Ukraine’s stock market into the world stock market. The article analyzes the current state of the stock market of Ukraine. It is defined that according to the criterion of «capitalization of the stock market/GDP», Ukraine’s stock market can be characterized as underestimated and having the potential for growth. The tendency to reduce the number of professional stock market participants and the gradual consolidation of securities trading in two stock exchanges was noted: «PFTS» and «Perspektyva». Most operations in Ukraine’s stock market take place in the secondary market. It is recognized that the stock market in our country is practically not used by issuing enterprises to attract financial resources. As for the issuers, most of them are represented by the so-called «blue chips». Among the extant problems of Ukraine’s stock market, low liquidity of securities was noted, which remains so due to the insider nature of the stock market. In addition, the phenomenon of price manipulation is present. But, despite the existing problems, the process of integration of the Ukrainian stock market into the world stock market continues. Thus, joining the process of virtualization of the world financial system, operations in the digital environment are gradually being transferred in Ukraine and information technologies are quickly introduced into the operations of stock exchanges. The Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Simplifying Investment Attraction and Introduction of New Financial Instruments» adopted in 2021 took into account the requirements of the modern world stock market related to the transformation of existing forms of securities and the emergence of their new types. This law provides for the construction of a new financial infrastructure in Ukraine. It is concluded that the leading role in the process of integration of Ukraine’s stock market into the world stock market belongs to the State, which, stimulating the development of the national stock market and establishing cooperation with international organizations operating in this sphere, regulates this process.

The article is aimed at disclosing and substantiating the peculiarities of the introduction and implementation of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine. Medium-term budget planning is defined as an approach to planning and managing public finances, which expands the horizon for the formation of budget policy for three to five years and allows to plan and forecast budget revenues and expenditures necessary for the implementation of strategic goals of the State budget policy in the medium term. The article considers the main functions of the medium-term budget planning system. It is noted that the European Union is assessing the development of medium-term planning, namely: the «Quality Index», which provides for the highest assessment according to five criteria. In Ukraine, medium-term planning accounts for about 65% of the expenditures of the national governance sector. Medium-term budget planning should become an important instrument for public finance management, which will not only allow to have a high-quality and sound financial plan for the medium perspective, but will also be the basis for the development of the State-based socio-economic policy. Both the advantages and the disadvantages of medium-term budget planning are considered, attention is also paid to the disclosure of factors that currently hinder the development of both the State itself and the mechanism of implementation of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine. The directions and measures that should be taken to ensure the development of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine are substantiated, as well as the positive consequences of the effective implementation and implementation of medium-term budget planning in the country are determined.

The Main Stages of Normative Regulation of Financial Control Over Transfer Pricing in Ukraine (p. 196 - 204)
Any activity is carried out in accordance with what laws and regulations are interpreted at the national level, and often with the direct consent o n the part of the State authorities. In Ukraine, the process of forming the normative regulation for control over transfer pricing is still underway, but conceptually it is already possible to define four main stages. Stage 1 (zero stage): 2010–2013 – in the national legislation were no definitions of controlled operations and transfer pricing, but the concept of ordinary price was widely used, and the tax legislation began to distinguish the methods for its determination and the procedure for application). Stage 2 (baseline stage): 2013–2014 – a significant transformation of tax legislation took place – transfer pricing was introduced in Ukraine. Stage 3 (crucial stage): 2015–2019 – the «arm’s length principle» was introduced, which was wider than the concept of «ordinary price», and relations between business entities were now evaluated not only at the price of transactions performed, but under the conditions of such operations. Stage 4 (renewal stage): 2020–2021 – transfer pricing rules were updated: new concepts were introduced into the national legislation – international group of companies, the group’s parent company, authorized participant; a three-level transfer pricing reporting model was implemented. Thus, Ukraine undergoes a constant change of national legislation, in particular in the normative regulation of financial control over transfer pricing, which for 10 years has been transformed from control over ordinary prices in the country to control over transactions of international groups of companies whose participants are residents of Ukraine.

The Conceptual Principles of Tax Planning of Enterprises in the Context of Fourth Industrial Revolution (p. 210 - 216)
The authors disclose the essence of tax planning for domestic enterprises in the conditions of development of the economy in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Foreign experience as to approaches to interpretation of the phenomenon of «tax planning» is studied. It is substantiated that the existing modern approaches to the definition of the term of «tax planning» should be divided by the characteristics of purpose and subordination. The work contains a further elaboration of conceptual-categorical apparatus of taxation theory by closer defining of «tax planning», where, contrary to existing developments, it is proposed to assess the impact of elements of the current tax system on the efficiency of financial-economic activities of enterprises. A theoretical analysis of modern trends of tax planning is carried out and it is determined that the existing conditions of operation of enterprises are such phenomena as: digitalization of economic processes, robotization of business processes, influence of other factors of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and growth of uncertainty and level of risks for economic entities. According to the results of the research, it is defined that all these phenomena will affect the process of taxation of enterprises at the micro level due to the acceleration of data processing processes and changes in tax planning objects. The article explains the directions of further research on this topic, namely, the development of an economic-mathematical model of the influence of elements of the tax system in the context of the trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which becomes relevant in modern conditions of tax planning.

Simplified Taxation System as a Microeconomic Fiscal Regulator (p. 228 - 234)
The article considers the specifics and features of application of the simplified taxation system in Ukraine. Small business entities can apply either general or simplified taxation system. On the basis of generalizations of literary sources and current practice, the advantages and disadvantages of the simplified system at the present stage of economic development are determined. The biggest advantages of the simplified taxation system are tax advantages, which consist in the absence of the obligation to pay certain types of taxes, as well as a simplified system of accounting and reporting for small business entities, the ability to take into account the socio-economic situation of a particular geographic area, because a single tax has to be paid to the local budget. The disadvantages are primarily associated with abuse by economic entities and their evasion of payments. Four groups of single tax payers are characterized depending on the level of annual income, the number of employees and legally established rates. The dynamics of single tax receipt is analyzed and its share in the structure of tax revenues to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine for 2016-2020 is determined. The proportion of the single tax in the context of taxpayers for 2016-2020 is determined and it is found that the largest share of this tax comes from individual entrepreneurs. The actual problems of functioning of the simplified taxation system in Ukraine are distinguished. The main legally justified reforms are analyzed: new limits for individual entrepreneurs and introduction of registrars of settlement operations. Some changes and postponements in the legislation in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic are noted. As a result, conclusions are drawn about the need to reform the simplified taxation system, which should be aimed at improving it along with preventing abuse.

Assessing the Influence of Internal Environment Factors on the Formation of Financial Results of Industrial Enterprises (p. 235 - 243)
The main purpose of the carried out research was identification of the influence of internal environment factors on the formation of financial results of industrial enterprises, quantitative assessment of the strength of their influence, and determination of the most significant factors at the present stage of development of the national economy. The relevance of this applied research is that knowledge about the mechanisms of action of internal factors certainly plays a leading role precisely in terms of the influence of management on the value of financial results of individual enterprises and in achieving the required level of profitability. In the article, a margin analysis is carried out on the example of a logical and statistically substantiated sample of 15 enterprises of the processing industry in the city of Kharkiv for the period 2016-2019, the results of the analysis prove that in modern changing conditions there is no clear correlation between production volumes, profits, and the composition of operating costs. The carried out correlation analysis allowed to trace the closeness of relationship between the functional and the factor variables. The functional group of variables is a system of consistently formed in the financial statements of interrelated indicators of financial results (from gross to net profit) classified as net income. The internal factors are represented by three groups of indicators. The first group includes a system of 10 indicators that characterize the level of costs and other types of income in the net income of enterprises. The second group of indicators characterizes the physical and financial structure of capital, the degree of participation of bank loans in the financing of enterprises. The third group of indicators is related to determining the efficiency of resource use. The results of the carried out research indicate a weak participation of the main operating activity, namely, production activity, in the formation of financial results and net profit, and the main negative role is played by costs from other operational, financial and other types of activity. At this, the efficiency of economic activity practically does not affect the financial results and profitability of various types of activities of enterprises. The need to improve the internal mechanisms for the formation of financial results and increase the level of profitability of industrial enterprises is substantiated.

The dynamics of health insurance market indicators based on the amount of gross insurance premiums and payments is analyzed; it is proved that voluntary health insurance (continuous health insurance) is characterized by growth during the last five years. The factors that significantly influenced the development of the market and the current state of voluntary health insurance, in particular the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, high incidence rates of insured persons, the significant cost of an insurance medical policy, the lack of tax preferences for business regarding medical social packages and the lack of specialized educational institutions on the VHI, are determined. The classification of factors of influence on the development of voluntary health insurance according to the level of their occurrence is carried out, and it is determined that the following factors have the greatest force of influence on the VHI: deterioration of solvency of potential insurers; pricing in the medical market; excessive tax burden for legal entities. It is substantiated that the indisputable way of motivating the introduction of voluntary health insurance is to amend the tax legislation of Ukraine; micro insurance is proposed as a basis for the development of voluntary health insurance. Prospects for further research lie in the study of factors influencing the development of micro insurance in the country.

Insurance Protection of Agricultural Producers of Ukraine: A Review of Insurance Companies and Products (p. 249 - 256)
The article is aimed at analyzing the work of insurance companies in the agricultural insurance market, evaluating their services for insurance protection of agricultural producers and studying the State’s efforts in supporting farmers in the sphere of agricultural insurance. In the course of the study, it is defined that the current system of agricultural insurance is unsatisfactory, and every year regressive processes are observed in the agricultural insurance market. The low demand for agricultural insurance in Ukraine is associated with the high cost of the service, limited choice of counter-parties, complexity of the insurance mechanism. The carried out analysis of the work of insurers in the agricultural insurance market indicates their partial participation in this type of insurance: for example, out of 64 insurers licensed for agricultural insurance, only less than a third provide services in this direction. As a result of the study of the line of insurance products for agricultural insurance, it is determined that complex and index insurance and insurance of animals and poultry are in great demand. It is found out that the extanrt system of agricultural insurance with the State support, even under the conditions of its functioning, would not have gained much popularity. The main reasons are a complex insurance mechanism, a one-time payment of 100% insurance premiums and the insecurity of the agricultural producer in obtaining the entire amount of subsidies belonging to him further on. In the future, in order to improve the situation in this industry, it is necessary to make certain amendments to the current legislation, which will revitalize the domestic sphere of agricultural insurance while providing confidence to agricultural producers in the continuity and reproduction of their output.

The article is aimed at studying the current status, structure and dynamics of the main components of the capital of the banking system of Ukraine, the key problems that hinder the growth of its capitalization, and substantiating on this basis the key directions of further recapitalization of banks. The main problems associated with the process of capitalization of the banking system of Ukraine are defined as: insignificant absolute size and unsatisfactory dynamics of indicators of both the own and the regulatory capital of the banking system in general; unbalanced structure of the statutory capital of the banking system due to the dominance of banks with the State participation therein; non-investment structure of the equity of banking institutions, which is manifested in the dominance of its indicator of the statutory capital, the size of which in many banks exceeds the amount of equity; spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, which forced the State, represented by the NBU and the Verkhovna Rada, to weaken the requirements for banks on the schedule of capital increase. The key directions of recapitalization of the banking system of Ukraine are proposed, which should be: gradual dissolution of the banking system by selling shares of State-owned banks to institutional investors (both residents and non-residents) in order to reduce the total share of the State in the banking system to the optimal level; measures aimed at increasing the profitability of the banking system, taking into account the fact that profit is a key source of rapid capital increase; restoration by the banking system in the medium term of planned tasks and schedule of capital growth, which is a prerequisite for its further successful development, growth and modernization.

Bank System in the Digital Economy (p. 333 - 338)
The article is aimed at analyzing the activities of domestic banks in the digital economy. The publication proves the need to consider the digital economy as an economy based on the use of digital data and is not limited to the trade sphere. Accordingly, it is proposed to consider the process of digitalization of the banking sector as a process of transition of the banks’ activities from the traditional form to one based on the use of information and communication technologies. The digitalization process has both a negative and positive impact on the activities of banks. As a result of new technologies, the advantage of banks was leveled, which was based on the use of expensive system software for their work within the framework of the desintermediation process. Under the new conditions, large global or local tech giants have significantly influenced the market, which, having a large customer base, additionally offer them financial services. Significantly affect the market the neo-banks, which, having transferred most of the activity online, caused the need to revise the feasibility of the existence of bank branches. Fintech companies have become the main competitors of banks, which is explained by their awareness in the innovation market and great flexibility. At the same time, cooperation between banks and fintech companies is promising. The article takes into account the impact of the pandemic on the financial services market and the activities of all participants, including banks. A significant restriction of social contacts led to the transition of a large number of services online, including the banking ones. Customers of banks received a push to use mobile applications. In a pandemic, the criteria that influence the choice of the bank have significantly changed. Changing priorities towards a greater choice of remote services, the convenience of obtaining them, should be taken into account by banking institutions in their activities.

Improving the Micro-Level Financial Planning through Complementary Targeting (p. 365 - 370)
The article concretizes dominance of targeting as a phenomenon for keeping inflation at the macro-level, and to improve advertising activities at the micro level. The success of the relevant instrument in anti-inflation and advertising policies actualizes the possibility of targeting key financial indicators of the organization that are important for its owners and financial administration, but are often overlooked on the part of its managers. The article closer defines the theoretical provisions for improving financial planning at the micro level by introducing complimentary targeting in the activities of commercial organizations. An algorithm and a key indicator are proposed, which be the «target» of the corresponding targeting. As such an indicator, the profitability of assets is substantiated, the target value of which in quantitative parameters should exceed the price of using bank loans. It is determined that in modern conditions with regard to commercial organizations in Ukraine, the profitability of assets should be equal to or exceeding 30%. Appropriate targeting at the micro-level is substantiated as a tool for smoothing and harmonization of contradictions between owners of large-scale commercial organizations and their managers of both the medium and the senior level. Ignoring the rule of necessity of exceeding the profitability of assets over bank loan rates is identified in the activities of a number of public joint stock companies that are leaders in terms of tax payments in Ukraine. In addition, the prevalence of the practice of using bank loans by relevant public joint stock companies, even with a «strong» balance sheet and a high level of liquidity and solvency, is specified. The dominance of the use of bank loans in the activities of leading industrial enterprises in the country instead of issuing their own bonds in the absence of exceeding the profitability of the assets of these enterprises over the price of bank loans indicates the underdevelopment of the domestic stock market and further increases the level of relevance of the targeting of the asset profitability indicator.

Private Pension Funds in Ukraine: The Problems and Prospects for Development (p. 213 - 218)
The article analyzes and evaluates the current state, problems and prospects for the development of the non-State pension funds in Ukraine. The issue of introduction of the pension system reform is considered, since pension provision is an important component of the socio-economic strategy of the country. The pension provision should function according to the principles of social justice and insurance principles, namely: all citizens of Ukraine are entitled to pensions, including the condition that those citizens who pay a larger amount of contributions or have more work experience than others have full right to and should receive a higher pension. The main purpose of the third level system is receiving additional pension payments to the mandatory State pension insurance by its participants, the advantage of which is to ensure a high level of return on pension assets compared to the level of inflation and attract investment resources necessary for the modernization of the domestic economy on a long-term basis. Currently, only the first and third levels of the pension system are operating in Ukraine. However, the third level of the domestic pension system still does not work with proper efficiency. The authors identify the problems of introduction of the accumulation system of pension provision in Ukraine (level 2) and the reasons for the inefficiency of the current system of the non-State pension provision (level 3). In order to develop a reliable and efficient system of the non-State pension provision, it is proposed to implement a number of measures that will contribute to economic growth and the effective functioning of the non-State pension funds in our country.

Assessing the Reliability of Ukrainian Banks According to V. Kromonov's Rating Methodology (p. 186 - 194)
Assessment of the reliability of banks and their rating is a relevant issue for all participants of the financial market. Taking into account the fact that a methodology should be based on the availability of information data, clarity and openness of the algorithm, and a limited number of analyzed indicators, the authors, for assessing the reliability of the banking system of Ukraine in separate banking groups, chose the most popular methodology of V. Kromonov. The article contains the results of assessment of V. Kromonov's rating model indicators for the period 01.01.2017–01.06.2021 for the banking system of Ukraine in general, as well as for the group of banks with the State-owned share, banks of foreign banking groups and banks with private capital. It is identified that the level of reliability of the banking system of both Ukraine and banking groups is in poor condition, since the calculated values of integral reliability coefficients do not exceed the value of 30 points, which indicates the presence of significant problems in the functioning of the banking market, imbalance of assets and liabilities, low level of solvency of banks and same for liquidity of assets. A comparative characterization showed that the reliability of Ukrainian banks with the State-owned share is significantly inferior to the reliability of banks of foreign banking groups and banks with private capital. It is determined that the amount of equity of the banking system of Ukraine is not sufficient to repay possible losses in case of non-return or return in an impairment form of a working asset. A computation of liquidity coefficients showed a tendency to reduce the level of coverage of liabilities by liquid assets of banking institutions, to reduce the solvency of the banking system and worsen the ability of banks to fulfill their obligations. Improving their reliability should be one of the primary strategic tasks of all banks.

Insurance Management in Terms of Globalization Processes in Ukraine (p. 207 - 212)
Insurance represents the most efficient risk management instrument that can protect both individuals and business entities from financial risks arising from various unforeseen situations. In turn, expanding the horizons of the insurance market requires clarity and coherence in the activities of insurance companies, and therefore studying the factors that directly affect the management of insurance organizations appears relevant. It is found that one of the forms of risk control is insurance management, which includes the detection, assessment and intervention of risks, that is, a defense strategy for preparing for the unexpected events, as it is regulated by normative legal acts, and the implementation of principles and doctrines that are generally accepted. It is identified that the main methods of insurance management, such as avoidance, preservation, distribution, transfer, prevention and reduction of losses, can be applied to all areas of activity of both individuals and business entities, and can pay off in the long term. The development of the insurance market in Ukraine in the future is possible due to the introduction of an effective mechanism of insurance management based on system analysis and effective control at macro and micro levels. By implementing a risk management plan and considering various potential risks or events before they occur, economic entities can save their own money and protect their future by timely setting of certain contours in order to avoid potential threats, minimize their impact in case of their occurrence, and cope with the results.

Modern Vector of Development of Pawnshops in Ukraine (p. 222 - 228)
The article is aimed at establishing a modern vector of development of pawnshops in Ukraine. The current state of the pawnshop loans market is analyzed and its detailed analysis is carried out from the point of view of opportunities and threats at the macrolevel and strengths and weaknesses at the microlevel. In the course of a SWOT analysis of the state of the pawnshop loans market, the relative balance of prospects and challenges of economic, social and political nature, which have an impact on the functioning of pawnshops, is determined. The hypothesis about the significant impact on the development of pawnshops in Ukraine such factors as the solvency of the population and the volume of economic development (in terms of GDP per capita) is put forward. A regressive model of development of the pawnshop lending market is formed, the economic interpretation of which is the possibility of increasing the volume of issued pawnshop loans with an increase in the volume of average monthly incomes of citizens, and their reduction is possible with an increase in the unemployment rate in Ukraine and a build-up in the level of GDP per capita. It is assumed that the results of the model reflect a critical limit of the cumulative impact of selected socio-economic factors, when low incomes of the population with high unemployment and slow GDP growth cause an unconventional effect – a reduction in the volume of the short-term lending market, characterized by the effect of behavioral finances, when it is more important for borrowers to avoid unjustified costs than to receive short-term benefits. It is emphasized that the possibilities of development of pawnshops are concentrated in the vector of their qualitative renewal: the formation of a legislative basis for self-regulation of the market, deepening of work to improve financial literacy of the population, in particular, public awareness of the risks of obtaining loans in pawnshops.

It is noted that there is an urgent issue of deepening the provisions formed and also developing further provisions in the field of functioning of the fiscal system, searching for the optimal model when developing such a system. Thus, there is a need for the implementation of new researches in this sphere to deepen the theoretical aspects of the functioning of the fiscal system, including the need to substantiate the content of certain scientific categories and specify existing ones. The article considers the essence of the category of «economic instrument», analyzes the existing concepts of research of this definition.

It is also determined that in the vast majority of cases, using the category of «fiscal instrument», scientists often identify it with the definition of «tax instrument». In a significant number of works when considering derivative scientific concepts from the word «fiscal», it is also not enough attention to specify the content of fiscal instruments. Thus, the article proposes to consider the content of the category of «fiscal instrument» as follows: fiscal instrument – a means used to save financial resources of economic entities in order to generate the State budget revenues.

The Evolutionary Paradigm of Fiscal Federalism: Transformation of the United States Experience into Ukrainian Decentralism (p. 109 - 116)
The modern paradigm of effective social and economic development of regions must take into consideration the dialectics of fiscal federalism in the symbiosis of its essential determinants with fiscal decentralization. The purpose of the article is to scientifically and conceptually substantiate the model of fiscal federalism of the United States of America in the field of implementation of adequate provisions into Ukrainian decentralization. The article examines the conceptual provisions of fiscal federalism, substantiates the forms of decentralization of powers among levels of government. The architectonics and evolutionary paradigm of fiscal federalism in the United States of America are covered. The risks and effects of fiscal federalism were monitored for the purposes of implementing its basic aspects into Ukrainian practice. Theories of the first and second generations of fiscal federalism are considered. It is ascertained, that the principles of fiscal federalism are used in the practice of unitary countries. Public authorities actively apply mechanisms of cooperation with municipalities in the context of delegation of tax and expenditure powers. Emphasis is placed on the tax component of the intensification of fiscal autonomy of local governments. At the same time, the experience of the United States of America has shown the importance of directing grants and transfers to social projects of municipalities. The priorities of adaptation of actual postulates of fiscal federalism into Ukrainian system of interbudgetary relations under conditions of decentralization of powers are outlined. It is emphasized that fiscal federalism should not be limited to the redistribution of financial resources between the State and local governments. It should encourage amalgamated territorial hromadas to financial autonomy and increase tax potential to improve the prosperity of citizens

Improving the Approaches to Tax Reform in Ukraine (p. 117 - 127)
The article is aimed at analyzing the provisions of the Draft Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Ensuring the Balance of Budget Revenues» No. 5600 (hereinafter – the Draft Law) and its adoption procedures to develop proposals for improving the approaches to tax reform in Ukraine. It is proved that many innovations of the Draft Law require significant reworking or should not be supported, and the implementation of the entire «package of measures» envisaged is unlikely to provide for achieving an increase in the efficiency of the tax system. Almost exclusively, the fiscal focus of tax reform in the context of unfavorable conditions, the lack of consensus on its initiatives with business and other stakeholders, non-compliance with the principle of stability of tax legislation can adversely affect the activities of many sectors of the Ukrainian economy and GDP growth in general. Therefore, there are risks, at least, of underreceipt of additional tax revenues. It is argued that special attention in reworking the Draft Law should be paid to the norms related, in particular, to the abolition of VAT exemption for housing supply operations on the secondary market; changes in excise taxation of beer and tobacco products; increase of rent for the use of radio frequency resource; transition to excessively strict tax administration rules. Thus, it is important to take into account the positions of business associations and warnings on the part of experts, as well as the entry into force of legislative norms within the terms that will not have a «shock effect» on taxpayers. It is especially emphasized that further reform of the tax system of Ukraine should be comprehensive and take place on the basis of the relevant strategy.

The article is aimed at studying the theoretical, organizational and methodical aspects of financial inclusion; conducting an analytical research on the development of financial inclusion and its impact on the welfare of the population; formation of recommendations for improving the financial services market in the conditions of ensuring the financial inclusion in Ukraine.

The carried out analytical studies of financial inclusion in the world and in Ukraine have shown that its level is constantly growing and there are sufficient prerequisites for its development, including in the financial market the maximum number of the population who will be able to benefit from the use of financial services. As a result of the analysis, a framework for financial inclusion has been developed that allows identifying entities that are often unwittingly excluded from the financial services market – due to low levels of financial literacy, low incomes or discrimination on the part of financial institutions. An important aspect of the implementation of the concept of financial inclusion is the motivation to use financial services, using behavioral finance methods for this – not only by those who are forced to exclude, but also those who voluntarily refused to use them. The publication proposes recommendations and instruments for improving the financial services market, which will increase the level of financial inclusion, which in turn will contribute to economic growth, mobilization of savings, their preservation and increase, introduction of innovations and development of entrepreneurship.

Insurance Companies as an Element of the Credit System (p. 150 - 156)
The article is aimed at researching the main indicators of the activities of insurance companies in Ukraine and determining their role in the structure of credit system. Generalizing scientific works on the research issues of the functioning of non-bank financial and credit institutions as a whole and insurance companies in particular, the authors determine the need to study certain issues of development of insurance market actors at the present stage (namely, indicators of the activities of insurance companies) and define their place in the credit system. Analyzing the dynamics and structure of the assets of the credit system in the context of its components – the banking and parabanking system, the bank-centric model of the financial market is determined, because the main share in the assets of the credit system is occupied by the assets of banking institutions. It is determined that financial and insurance companies play a significant role in the functioning of the credit system of Ukraine among parabanking institutions. The analysis of the main indicators of the activity of insurance companies and the dynamics of their number is carried out. It is found that despite the decrease in the number of insurance companies in dynamics, the volumes of gross insurance premiums and gross insurance payments are characterized by positive growing trends. Factors influencing such changes are the exit from the market of unreliable and financially insolvent insurers; change of views on life insurance, assets and liability, as well as an active development of partnerships with foreign counterparties and the emergence of insurance companies with foreign capital on the domestic market. The article also provides a rating of insurance companies by assets at the end of 2020 and defines their share in the assets of the credit system in general. Prospects for further research are to distinguish the main reasons for the downturn in the number of insurers and their impact on the state of the financial services market as a whole.

The article is aimed at researching the adequacy of international reserve assets, their management in terms of ensuring debt sustainability, as well as financial-economic assessment of liquidity and solvency of the borrowing State. Based on the carried out study, it is determined that liquidity of the State, as a functional element of solvency of the State, provides for the ability of the State to mobilize the necessary resources, taking into account the transactional mechanism of asset transfer from one unit to another in order to ensure an adequate level of solvency of the debtor State. In addition, within the terms of the carried out analysis of the system infrastructure, it is worth noting that there is a relation between the solvency of the State and its liquidity, since the latter category is part of the first, but these concepts are not identical. The provision of international assets, as the dominant element of debt sustainability, acts through the mechanism of financial and monetary security, thus, an assessment of the adequacy of international assets in the part of sufficiency of their volumes to cover the needs of foreign trade operations, servicing and repayment of the State’s sovereign obligations to creditors must be done. A monitoring of the main indicative values of the assessment of the status and structure of international liquid assets and their relationship with economic indicators is carried out. Ways to improve the system of management of international reserve assets in order to ensure debt sustainability are proposed. Priority directions of future researches are allocated, which should be aimed at substantiate the impact of currency risks on the debt sustainability of the State.

Liquidation of an Insolvent Bank with the Participation of an Investor: Organization, Procedures, Advantages (p. 311 - 317)
The article is aimed at systematizing and identifying the features, advantages and disadvantages of various ways of withdrawing insolvent banks from the market, as well as studying the consequences of their implementation in domestic practice. Liquidation of a bank with reimbursement of all funds on deposits of individuals by the Deposit Guarantee Fund (DGF) is simple and affordable, but the most expensive and inefficient way. It is noted that at present the Fund has liquidated more than 50 banks, now the process of liquidation of 48 more banks is continuing. The most promising are two methods that are implemented with the participation of the investor through the tender procedure. This is the creation of a transitional bank with the subsequent selling to the investor and the selling of the bank as an integral unit to the investor. The implementation of these methods involves the search for an investor and the receipt of investment resources, which always appears positive. Therefore, the article describes in detail the specifics of these restorative, or sanitation, methods of withdrawal of an insolvent bank, analyzes their advantages and weaknesses. Organizational procedures for the application of these methods of withdrawal of insolvent banks from the market are generalized and structured. It was emphasized that in the process of withdrawing an insolvent bank from the market due to the selling, the financial burden on the DGF is decreasing. The Fund does not reimburse the funds of individual depositors, since all obligations under guaranteed deposits are transferred to either the transitional bank or the new owner of the bank in full. It is substantiated that these methods require modernization, updating and a closer definition of the relevant organizational and procedural components. This will increase the efficiency of approaches for further use, and most importantly, for preventing the eventual adverse consequences.

The analysis of legislation norms on the implementation of the State-based financial control is carried out. The opinions of leading scholars who study the problems of control over the effective use of both the State and the local budgets together with reforms in this area are taken into account. The current status of the State-based financial control in the country is analyzed, a number of problems within the system are outlined. The characteristic shortcomings of functioning of the elements of the State-based control system are outlined (absence of a unified concept for the development of the State-based financial control, deepening of the powers of regulatory authorities, presence of a large number of normative legal acts, their outdatedness and inconsistency), the inadmissibility of duplication of control functions is emphasized. The role of the State-based audit in the formation of the successful State-based financial control in the country is determined. The risks that influence the formation of the State-based financial control are analyzed. It is concluded that the system of the State-based financial control in Ukraine does not have sufficient legal, informational, organizational, communicative, institutional and methodological provision that would meet the modern challenges of the country’s economy. Solving the problems of organization and functioning of the State-based financial control is possible by systematically improving the activities of financial control bodies, increasing the level of audit and continuous improvement of the management system within the organizations of regulatory authorities.

The Evolutionary Development of Ukraine’s Financial System (p. 341 - 348)
The article is aimed at studying the evolutionary development of the financial system of Ukraine. The sustainability of a well-regulated and well-controlled financial system is essential for both domestic and international economic and financial stability. The study examined the development of Ukraine’s financial system, reflected important links between financial stability, financial depth, financial accessibility and the importance of managing the financial system in Ukraine. Problems in financial systems can affect the efficiency of monetary policy, reduce economic downturn, require capital financing and influence the exchange rate, as well as create significant financial costs associated with saving troubled financial institutions. Moreover, with the increasing interrelations between financial institutions, as well as the emergence of financial companies along with more developed financial and trade relations between financial structures in one jurisdiction, it is possible to quickly block the movement of funds across national borders. Prospects for further explorations in this direction are the study of the development of innovative technologies in accordance with changes in the preferences of financial services consumers; distribution of virtual service channels, personalized financial services and mobile solutions; development of open banking and expanding cooperation between traditional financial institutions and FinTech companies, which will facilitate provision of better satisfaction of clients’ needs. Adoption of comprehensive changes to regulations on depository activities, securities, as well as the activities of stock exchanges will give professional stock market participants more opportunities to introduce innovations in the provision of financial services.

Special Aspects of Money and Stock Market Indicators Forecasting, Considering the Macroeconomic Shocks in Developing Countries (p. 348 - 356)
The purpose of the article is to improve approaches to forecasting and analyzing the sensitivity of money-and-credit and stock markets to macroeconomic shocks in developing countries, which are characterized by a high level of socio-economic uncertainty and political risks. The article substantiates the advantages of expanding the standard forecasting methodology based on one-sided forecasts by analyzing the sensitivity of the indicators studied to macroeconomic perturbations, especially in the period of high uncertainty observed in recent years. An empirical analysis of the reaction of the main indicators of monetary policy and stock index in countries with a transformational economy in response to macroeconomic shocks during the short term was carried out, using impulse response functions. It was identified that in the markets of most countries there was a stabilization of the stock index and the short-term interest rates during the first 2-6 months after the start of macroeconomic shocks, which was accompanied by their moderate periodic fluctuations. In only three of the seven developing countries studied, stock indexes and/or interest rates could not reach equilibrium levels on their own during the short term and required active central bank stabilization measures. It can be assumed that the degree of reaction of the stock and money-and-credit markets is primarily associated with the individual characteristics of the country’s economic system and its ability to absorb macroeconomic shocks. The carried out analysis of sensitivity allowed to determine what shocks have a critical impact on the functioning of the financial and money-and-credit markets in each of the economies under research.

Assessing the Level of Ukraine’s Debt Security and the Priority Directions of Its Strengthening (p. 357 - 362)
The article is concerned with assessing the level of debt security of Ukraine at the present stage of its development. Government debt is an important component of the market economy. It is a significant factor that suspends the development of the country and poses a threat to its financial security. That is why the assessment of the level of debt security and its strengthening is a relevant task. To do this, the authors define the importance of key indicators of the country’s debt security. Each basic indicator is analyzed, the characteristic values of each of them are disclosed in accordance with their limits established by domestic legislation. The impact of each indicator on the financial security of Ukraine is displayed. Based on these indicators, the integral indicator of debt security in recent years is calculated by rationing indicators and adjusting their weight coefficients. It is calculated that today the value of the integral indicator is dangerous, which indicates a threat to the debt security of Ukraine. The main reasons that led to the critical state of the country’s debt security were considered, including: the constant deficit of the State budget, the predominance of short-term borrowing and inefficient government debt management policies. The consequences of the impact of today’s level of debt security on the financial security of Ukraine as a whole are researched. First of all, the most vulnerable consequence for the domestic economy is the lack of funds for investment programs of the socio-economic development of the State. The priority directions of improvement of domestic debt policy to strengthen the debt security of the country by improving the structure of government debt and forming a long-term strategy of national and external borrowings are characterized.

The Global Practice of Introduction of Financial Technologies in the Banking Sector (p. 362 - 369)
The purpose of the article is to study the main trends and directions of spread of financial technologies in the banking sector of foreign countries. Analyzing the introduction and use of financial technologies among influential global markets, based on data from the financial consulting group EY Global Financial Services, which since 2015 began issuing of analytical reports every 2 years, the authors have determined an annual increase in the level of spread of these technologies in the studied countries. During 2015–2019. there was an increase in the number of countries under study – from 6 to 27, and in the number of respondents – from 10 to 27 thousand. An increase in consumer involvement in the use of new financial technologies is detected, as evidenced by the increase in the level of penetration of financial services – in 2015, the average penetration level comprises 16%, in 2017 – 33%, in 2019 – 64%. The carried out study showed that the largest share of the introduction and promotion of financial technologies among the 27 studied countries is occupied by the countries of Asia, South Africa and Latin America. As for European countries, FinTech is developing here at a slower pace compared to other countries. As for the United States, this country still has less activity in the spread of financial technologies. Analyzing the segments in which FinTech finance was most financed in 2019, upon the data provided by the consulting company EY Global Financial Services Markets, it is found that the world’s leading countries have the greatest advantage of financing in FinTech banking sector, among which the highest rate in China is 92%, and the smallest amounts of financing in FinTech are carried out in the insurance sector (compared to such sectors as banking and financial management). In Asian countries as digital technology leaders, the main area where the banking industry introduces financial technologies is blockchain with cryptocurrencies, payments and transfers, as well as investments and savings. Among the main directions of FinTech-directedness in the banking sector, the largest share in the United States is occupied by: market of capitals, blockchain with cryptocurrencies, further on payments and transfers. As for the UK, P2P payments and transfers, as well as software, occupy the leading place. Prospects for further research are to analyze the introduction of financial technologies in the activities of Ukrainian banking institutions.

Assessnig the Activities of Credit Unions in the Financial Market in Ukraine (p. 369 - 375)
The article is concerned with analyzing the current state of development of credit unions and carrying out assessment and structuring of the main reasons that hinder their further development. It is defined that today in the world the most common form of financial cooperatives are credit unions that provide loans to socially vulnerable segments of the population and provide financial support to small business entities, farms, which becomes especially relevant during the pandemic. Information on the volume of activities of credit unions in some countries of the world and in Europe is provided. It is noted that the activities of credit unions in Ukraine are at an unsatisfactory level, as a result of the crisis in credit unions, the quality of loan servicing began to deteriorate. Overdue arose not only for consumer loans, but also concerning the loans for business needs. The current situation is analyzed and the main stages of development of credit unions are allocated. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the activities of credit unions and banks, the main advantages and disadvantages in the work of credit unions are allocated. A structural view of the reasons that hinder the development of credit unions is proposed. A model is constructed that allows to propose a sequence of actions, structure existing causes and identify critical ones, namely, imperfection of legislative regulation, presence of institutional restrictions, economic and political instability. It is concluded that at the present stage of development of the system of credit unions in Ukraine, scientific substantiation and legislative regulation of this segment are necessary, taking into account domestic peculiarities and international experience. Credit unions, in turn, should implement the latest technologies and expand the range of services, which will allow to work for a wider audience.

The Tendencies of Taxation of Consumption in the OECD Countries Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (p. 376 - 382)
The article is concerned with analyzing the tendencies of taxation of consumption in the OECD countries. The purpose of the article is to examine the tendencies of taxation of consumption in the OECD countries before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the results of the research, it is found that in the period from 1995 to 2018 in the OECD countries there was a relatively stable tax burden formed by consumption taxes, with a gradual decrease in VAT rates. In many countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant deterioration in public finances, adding to existing problems such as population aging, climate change, rising poverty and inequality, etc., the problem of reducing tax revenues in consequence of the reduced business activity and increased public spending on health care and economic support programs. It is noted that after the COVID-19 outbreak, the OECD countries periodically make adaptation changes to their policies, mainly aimed at adapting VAT in the context of the spread of digitalization and the need for fiscal support for certain sectors of the economy. The development and administration of VAT policies have become an important component in the most OECD government fiscal policy measures to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020–2021. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a crisis in the healthcare and economic sectors, which has led to the use of measures to contain the pandemic. These measures reduced production, and in combination with the general crisis of the healthcare sector reduced the demand of enterprises and households. The economic policy measures focused primarily on maintaining business liquidity (deferring VAT payment) to help businesses stay afloat and to support the incomes of vulnerable households (applying reduced VAT rates). Prospect for further research is to assess the fiscal effects of modifying the taxation of consumption in the OECD countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chatbot as a Trading Tool in the Cryptocurrency Market (p. 388 - 394)
Today, cryptocurrencies and topics related to information technology are attracting more attention not only on the part of traders, but also scientists. More research is being carried out aimed at the thorough study of cryptocurrencies, as well as the search for ways to facilitate interaction with blockchain. The topic of data analysis for cryptocurrencies is becoming increasingly important as the number of companies dependent on cryptocurrencies is growing rapidly. There are problems related to the cryptocurrency trading process, such as forecasting prices and trends, forecasting volatility, building a portfolio, detecting fraud, analyzing indicators for various cryptocurrencies. To solve these problems, trading bots are used. Trading bots are software products or websites that offer so-called «algorithmic trading», as they automatically analyze the actions and indicators of the market, offer strategies to maximize the trader’s profits and increase his satisfaction. They can aggregate historical market data, calculate indicators, model the order fulfillment and can even be set up to execute strategies while the customer is asleep. When analyzing the needs of the market, it turned out that there was a lack of a chat bot that would help traders or simply persons interested in the topic of cryptocurrencies to receive fresh information about the latest changes in the market. The article considers the functions and examples of performance of the chat bot CryptoAlert, created by one of the authors, which helps users to always be aware of the latest changes in the cryptocurrency market. The main function of the bot is to receive notifications about significant changes in the price of the selected coin. The use of CryptoAlert facilitates the trader’s work and significantly increases the likelihood of successful trading in the market.

The Tax Mechanisms for Unshadowing the Income of Individuals from the Sale of Fruits, Berries, Grapes, Spicy, Aromatic and Medicinal Crops, Honey and Non-Wood Forest Products in Ukraine (p. 395 - 404)
The successful experience of Lithuania, Moldova and Poland in the field of taxation of citizens’ income from the sale of self-grown or self-gathered forest products or relevant harvesting activities is analyzed. It is concluded that the improved mechanism of taxation of personal income from the sale of self-grown or self-gathered fruits, berries, grapes, spicy, aromatic and medicinal crops, honey and non-wood forest products in Ukraine should be: 1) as simple as possible; 2) do not foresee radical changes that may destimulate the payment of taxes; 3) be based on the tax exemption of small sales volumes and the application of a low personal income tax rate (hereinafter referred to as PIT) with respect to the remaining income from these activities; 4) be easy to administer, not provide for a significant increase in the administrative burden on payers, which is mainly rural population; 5) minimize the possibility of concealment of the object of taxation. In view of the above, it is proposed: to extend the exemption from taxation of personal income on the basis of a certificate according to the form No. 3DF for the income from the sale of self-gathered fruits of the forest; proceed to the taxation of personal income tax of the rest of citizens’ income from the sale of fruits, berries, grapes, spicy, aromatic and medicinal crops, honey and non-wood forest products at a rate of 5% (without paying a military fee); apply fines in case of detection of concealment of such income from taxation.

Risk Management in Customs as a Factor in Ensuring Customs Security During the Economic Downturn (p. 404 - 410)
The article analyzes the fiscal significance of customs payments, namely: VAT, duties and excise tax, which are payed with customs clearance goods. It is defined that the role of budget revenues by these payments is extremely important. It is emphasized that the relevance of full and timely receipt of payments, which are accumulated by the State Customs Service of Ukraine, is especially increased during periods of economic downturn in the country, when the business activity of certain economic entities and sectors of the economy is significantly reduced. It is determined that the number and volume of offenses that are detected at the customs and can lead to significant budget losses are quite high and in recent periods tend to increase, which indicates the need to ensure effective customs control by the State and increase of the customs security. The publication specifies that the current global trend of customs control development, which is also typical for Ukraine, is the refusal of continuous control in favor of a selective one, with additional application of risk-oriented approach. The advantages of this approach to customs control are provided. The domestic experience of risk management in customs on the part of relevant authorities by using the Automated Risk Management System (ARMS) is analyzed. The need to constantly update and improve the algorithms of the ARMS and the system itself, as well as continuous updating of databases by adjusting, deleting and creating new risk profiles, is underlined. This is connected with the instability of the sphere of customs risks.

The Algorithms for Self-Checking Tax Debt by a Private Entrepreneur (p. 411 - 418)
The purpose of the research is to form algorithms of independent tax control regarding the absence of tax debt for individual entrepreneurs in Ukraine. The formed algorithms will allow to implement operational self-check, regardless of subjective factors of influence. The need to conduct tax audits for private entrepreneurs in terms of prevention of tax evasion is researched. The taxation systems provided for by the Tax Code of Ukraine (TCU) for private entrepreneurs are presented. The conditions of relevance of different groups of the simplified taxation system in accordance with the latest changes in legislation are detailed. Two algorithms of independent tax control of absence of tax debt in private entrepreneurs are proposed. The first algorithm allows checking the inclusion of individual entrepreneurs in the registry of single tax payers as a key condition for its functioning in accordance with the simplified taxation system. The peculiarities of displaying and updating data in the specified registry are considered. The second algorithm step by step details the actions of a private entrepreneur to check the availability of tax debt through the means of the taxpayer’s electronic cabinet. The practical aspect of the first and second algorithms is based on preventive control of financial literacy and self-certitude of taxpayers. The implementation of algorithms is carried out on the example of an individual entrepreneur on a simplified taxation system, a single tax payer, on the basis of the Taxpayer’s Electronic Cabinet as a key software under quarantine restrictions. The mechanism of work with the specified electronic resource is visualized. The possible directions of work of tax authorities on prevention of violations of tax legislation by a private entrepreneur through the measures of self-control of the latter are considered.

The Current State of the Public Debt in Ukraine and Prospects of Using Foreign Experience in Public Debt Management (p. 225 - 231)
The article is devoted to an important component of the country’s financial security –public debt. The formation of governmental borrowing is caused by the State’s need for additional financial resources. These resources are used to ensure the fulfillment of all tasks set before the State aiming to ensure economic and social prosperity. Improperly developed policy of public debt management will undermine the financial security of the State. To analyze the state of public borrowing, the following indicators were considered: the volume of total, external and internal public debt of Ukraine from 2017 to 2021; the ratio of external, external-guaranteed, internal and internal-guaranteed public debt of Ukraine in 2021. It was determined that over the last 5 years the dynamics of governmental borrowing has been changing from positive to negative and vice versa. The problems of public debt management in Ukraine include inefficient using of borrowed funds; raising loans to cover existing debt; imperfect legislative support; small volumes of gold and foreign exchange reserves; permanent budget deficit, etc. The following prospects for public debt management were identified: a policy to reduce the budget deficit; greater focus on domestic creditors; diversification of investors; fulfillment of IMF lending conditions; simplification of the IGLBs procurement system, etc. The international experience of government borrowing management was also considered. The most effective public debt model that can be implemented in Ukraine is the example of Sweden, where the government launched a policy of reducing public debt through systemic reforms that need to be implemented at all levels of the State management.

The Fintech Risks Management of the Banking Sector (p. 231 - 238)
The article is aimed at researching the impact and directions of fintech risk management in the banking sector. The article identifies key tendencies in the development of fintech innovations for the banking sector and explores the potential impact of their implementation on banks. According to the results of the analysis, fintech risks are systematized and the essence of each of them is disclosed. It is defined that an efficient direction for improving the efficiency of fintech risk management is to establish cooperation between banks and fintech companies. The study of foreign and domestic practice allowed to distinguish four main areas of partnership with: 1) fintech companies operating outside the banking sector; 2) fintech companies offering fintech solutions for banks; 3) fintech companies supplying destructive technologies; 4) fintech companies relying on current bank offers. The main channels of fintech risk transmission to the banking sector are identified. It is determined that the consequences of the implementation of fintech risks are manifested through the following traditional banking risks: operational, compliance, strategic, reputational. It is proved that in most cases, the events of fintech risk implementation on different business lines will be classified as consequences of operational risk. It is determined that the management of fintech risks in the banking business should be based on generally accepted approaches to risk management, taking into account the business model of a credit institution. It is determined that minimization of the impact of fintech risks is facilitated by the regulation of cooperation with fintech companies on the implementation of fintech innovations (development of strategies, policies, procedures, methods). The prospect of further research in this direction is the development of models for quantitative assessment of fintech risks. A significant positive impact on the efficiency of risk management of banks will be the development of methodological recommendations for stress testing, taking into account fintech risks. In the future, there is a need to develop appropriate models for the impact of fintech risks on the balance sheet of banks and adequate stress scenarios.

Assessing the Level of Financial Potential of Enterprises (p. 238 - 243)
The article is aimed at deepening the theoretical and methodological foundations for assessing the level of financial potential of enterprises. The article considers and summarizes approaches to determining the essence of the concept of «financial potential», indicators used in assessing financial potential, and the stages by which the assessment takes place. It is defined that the purpose of assessing the level of financial potential is to determine the type of financial sustainability of the enterprise and its solvency for further construction of a strategy for managing financial potential. The methodology of estimation of the level of financial potential of the enterprise is proposed, which includes three stages: 1. Collection of information characterizing the financial activities of the enterprise. 2. Selection and calculation of the main indicators characterizing the financial sustainability of the enterprise. At this stage, it is necessary to determine the type of financial sustainability of the enterprise. 3. Determination of the level of financial potential of the enterprise on the basis of the type of financial sustainability. An assessment of the level of financial potential of a particular enterprise is carried out and it is found that in 2018 and 2020 it had absolute financial sustainability and a high level of financial potential, and in 2019 – normal financial sustainability and an average level of financial potential. The necessity of forming a financial potential management strategy, which should include the following components: diagnostics and forecasting of the financial potential of the enterprise; strategic and tactical planning; selection of effective financial instruments; financial risks management; tax planning; organizational and legal registration and further control of financial flows, is substantiated.

Assessing the Impact of Budget Decentralization and Tax Revenues of the City of Irpin (p. 244 - 249)
The article considers the theoretical foundations and problems of functioning of local self-government bodies in the implementation of budget decentralization in Ukraine. In the process of reforming local authorities, the dependence of local budgets on the State budget is determined. The development of budget decentralization for the period 2015–2021 is considered, namely: the number of amalgamated hromadas, the share of the local budgets’ own revenues, and the structure of the share of revenues of the general fund of local budgets (without transfers). The revenues to the budget of the city of Irpin, their tendencies and efficiency of use are highlighted and analyzed. The forecast of budget revenues in the city of Irpin is developed taking into account all indicators used to assess tax revenues and fees, expected indicators of socioeconomic development and expected tax revenues of taxes and fees, as well as taking into account the proposals of the bodies that control the distribution of tax revenues and fees to local budgets of the region. The role of taxes in the system of local regulation of economic processes provides an impact on society, its structure and dynamics, ensures the stability of budget revenues and self-sufficiency, which provide for the development of an effective strategy for the development of the tax system based on realistic forecasts of socioeconomic development. The methods for improving control over the financing of local authorities are proposed. Local self-government bodies are able to transform the tax base at the local level through tax revenues, which provides opportunities for the full implementation of their functions and powers influencing the financial and economic processes. For the future forecast and improvement of sustainable development, it is necessary to anticipate the threats and risks of financial stability. Thus, their negative manifestation in the future is minimized or ways to minimize losses from their impact are determined.

Application of Anti-Crisis Management by Ukrainian Banks in the Face of Modern Challenges (p. 314 - 322)
The article is aimed at substantiating the need to use the anti-crisis management of banking institutions as a comprehensive management system for research, prediction, elimination of hazards and threats in crisis situations. The approaches of scholars to disclosure of essence of the anti-crisis management of banks are presented; the types and instruments of the anti-crisis management of banking institutions in the external and internal environment are provided. The current state and tendencies of development of banking institutions of Ukraine for 2016-2021 are analyzed. The results of rating of stability of banks of Ukraine during the researched period are presented, which give grounds to assert the need to increase the stability of domestic banks on the basis of effective anti-crisis management systems. A risk map of Ukrainian banking institutions is presented, which allows to assert a reduction in macroeconomic risk and credit risk in 2021 compared to 2020, which indicates a certain improvement in banking regulation in Ukraine. A complex of anti-crisis measures to support banking institutions adopted by the National Bank of Ukraine is outlined. Having studied the development of banking institutions of Ukraine over the past six years, we believe that the use of anti-crisis management is relevant and necessary to ensure an adequate level of sustainability of their functioning. Anti-crisis management is an important element of the activities of Ukrainian banks in the face of modern challenges and threats, by reason that with the help of its effective use it is possible to achieve their stable functioning.

Assessing the Impact of Anti-Inflationary Instruments on Price Stability (p. 323 - 330)
The article analyzes the peculiarities of theoretical-methodological and scientific-applied aspects of the formation of anti-inflationary policy as a component of economic stabilization in the current conditions of economic development. The results of the study show that the category of «anti-inflationary policy» most often appears in the context of the following categories: inflation, politics, governmental regulation, macroeconomic stability and macroeconomic policy. As a result of the decomposition of scientific and methodological approaches to the definition of anti-inflationary policy as an economic category, anti-inflationary policy is considered as a form of macroeconomic policy functionally aimed at regulating inflationary processes. Since achieving economic growth has economic stability at its foundation, anti-inflationary policies should be seen as an integral element of sustainable progress towards transformation, i.e. anti-inflationary policy is a stabilization measure at the macroeconomic level. A retrospective analysis of instruments for achieving price stability shows that the most common and efficient instrument for regulating the exchange rate are currency interventions. Regarding the regulation of consumer prices, it is possible to note the systematic use of currency exchange rate support instruments, a balanced change in prices for tariffs and services which is regulated by the administration.

Ways to Improve Tax Incentives for the Agrarian Sector of the Economy (p. 331 - 339)
Assessment of the current state of development of mechanisms of tax incentives of economic entities in the agrarian sector of the economy remains in the field of view of both scientists and practitioners. However, the solution to this problem on a State-wide scale has not yet been fully investigated and needs further study, adapting foreign experience to the national tax system. The article is aimed at substantiating the theoretical aspects of tax incentives for business entities in the agrarian industry, explaining the impact of effective methods of the State financial support on the results of their activities. To solve the tasks set in the process of research, a complex of general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge was used. It is determined that tax incentives of agrarian business entities at the present stage are an important component of economic policy and are used to level crisis phenomena in the market and encourage investments that create positive market externalities. It is found that tax benefits, which are closely related to the principle of fairness in taxation, play a significant role in the tax incentives of agrarian business entities. The authors propose that the following be implemented at the State level: pay special attention to the insrtumentarium of tax incentives, as well as analyze the assessment of its effectiveness; focus on the rational use of agrarian land by farmers by strengthening control, taking appropriate measures to prevent misuse and the application of administrative mechanisms in detecting violations; establish differentiated increases in land tax ratios for entrepreneurs of the fourth group in cases of the inappropriate use of agrarian land.

The Main Problems of Mortgage Lending and Directions of Its Activation in Ukraine (p. 339 - 344)
Stagnation of the loan market of Ukraine actualizes issues related to the need to intensify mortgage lending. The key problems that stand in the way of actualization of mortgage lending in Ukraine are identified as follows: preservation of low level of welfare of the population; numerous and high-profile bankruptcies of participants in the primary housing market; poor quality of the previously formed loan portfolio of individuals; actual prohibition for banks to provide loans to individuals in foreign currency; formation in Ukraine of a kind of «resistance movement» against the return of mortgage loans; presence of a moratorium on the recovery of property on foreign currency loans; a complex of problems related to the legal aspects of the provision and repayment of mortgage loans; low level of institutional development of the mortgage market; presence of a number of objective difficulties and subjective factors in the implementation of the government program «Affordable Mortgage 7%». An analysis of the results of the government program «Affordable Mortgage 7%» for 2021 suggests that its key task is fulfilled only by 23%. To intensify mortgage lending in Ukraine, it is necessary: an increase in the availability of lending to individuals for the purchase of housing within the framework of the government program «Affordable Mortgage 7%»; development of additional government mortgage lending programs focused on the purchase of housing in the primary market; ensuring legislative support for judicial reform; further reduction of the share of problem loans in the loan portfolio; providing legislative support for the creation of a second level of the mortgage market, which should include the issuance and circulation of mortgage bonds, which can also be used as a tool for investing pension savings.

The Mechanism for Ensuring the Security of the Insurance Market of Ukraine (p. 345 - 350)
The article is aimed at substantiating the essence and components of the mechanism for ensuring the security of the insurance market with the specification of forms, methods, levers, and instruments. It is proved that the security of the insurance market is a dynamic characteristic of the state and resource capacity of functioning entities to provide insurance protection in the conditions of identification of potential and real risks, threats and dangers and the ability to form an investment potential to finance the country’s economic growth by placing reserves. It is noted that the mechanism for ensuring the security of the insurance market includes an aggregate of forms, methods, levers, instruments, regulatory-information support and will allow to assess its status in the conditions of real and potential risks, threats and dangers in both the current and the strategic dimensions.

Formation of Budget Revenues in the Context of the Establishment of Land Market in Ukraine (p. 351 - 357)
The main problems of land market formation are researched in the context of land reform in Ukraine. Thus, the lifting of the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land has become a new feature in the economic history of Ukraine, which provides possibilities to develop the agro-industrial complex and increase the volume of agricultural production. An overview of the formation of the land market by neighboring countries: Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary is carried out. It is specified that the situation on the land market of these countries is significantly different from the situation in Ukraine, but it is possible to draw parallels in the context of the price, the area that can be purchased, and, in some cases, the terms of sale. A review of the legislation of Ukraine regulating the land market is made. Attention is focused on expectations from the sale of agricultural land and the impact of land sales on the investment climate in the country. Amendments to the tax legislation on the payment of taxes for the use of land starting from 2022 are outlined. In accordance with regulatory legal acts, the concept of a minimum tax liability for landowners is indicated, which includes the payment of taxes, fees, payments (control over the collection of which is entrusted to regulatory authorities) related to the production and sale of their own agricultural products and/or property and/or use (lease, sublease, emphyteusis, permanent use) of land plots classified as agricultural land. The article presents the mechanism for calculating the minimum tax liability for land for which the normative monetary valuation was carried out and for which there was no monetary assessment. Entities that are exempt from the minimum tax liability are identified. Attention is focused on the legislative and legal norm for individuals regarding the area of land, more than 0.5 hectares, which is subject to taxation by the minimum tax liability.

The Conception of Development of Financial and Credit Instruments for the Functioning of the Residential Real Estate Market in Ukraine (p. 357 - 365)
The purpose of the article is to substantiate the conception of development of financial and credit instruments for the functioning of the residential real estate market in Ukraine, the implementation of which is aimed at improving the efficiency of the functioning of this market. As a result of the study, it is found out that the conception of developing financial and credit instruments for the functioning of the residential real estate market is an integral part of reforming the system of financing investments in residential real estate. The author’s own vision of the essence of the concepts of «system of financing the investments in residential real estate» and «model of financing of the residential real estate market» are proposed. The study of foreign experience allowed to distinguish two main models of financing the residential real estate market – depository and mortgage. The application of comparative analysis showed that the model of financing the residential real estate market in Ukraine is close to the deposit model. It is proposed to improve financing models in the residential real estate market of Ukraine, and to put upon financial institutions the role of escrow agents who will protect the interests of real estate buyers. A systematization is carried out and the conception of development of financial and credit instruments for the functioning of the residential real estate market in Ukraine with the distinguishing of its main elements is presented schematically. Further research will concern the substantiation of individual proposals aimed at the implementation of the tasks specified in the article of the conception of development of financial and credit instruments for the functioning of the residential real estate market in Ukraine.

The Methodological Provisions of Financial Regulation of the Development of the Processing Fruit and Vegetable Industry (p. 365 - 372)
The article is aimed at identifying the peculiarities of the functioning of the processing fruit and vegetable industry in the postmodern era and the formation of methodological provisions for its further development. To form these provisions, scientific approaches are used, which include: substantiation of the theoretical basis of methodological provisions; analysis of industrial production during 2003-2020, as well as exports and imports of processed fruit and vegetable products; assessment of potential opportunities for these products; development of a structural scheme of these provisions. According to the analysis of the total production volumes of processed fruit and vegetable products and the dynamics of export-import operations of these products for 2019-2020 significant disparities are identified and it is indicated that their dynamics are unstable, with significant fluctuations, which confirms the general trends in the functioning of the processing fruit and vegetable industry. Particularly unfavorable tendencies are manifested in the increase in imports of individual canned vegetables, juices, fruits, berries, jam, marmalade. Attention is focused on the fact that it is not possible to maintain a positive tendency towards a permanent increase in export supplies of canned tomatoes without vinegar and juices of fruits and berries. A significant result of the research is the development of a structural scheme of methodological provisions of the financial regulation of the development of the processing fruit and vegetable industry, taking into account the identified characteristics of the postmodern era; potential opportunities for producers of agricultural products and processing enterprises; coordination of efforts of the relevant ministry, territorial communities and other organizations. According to the results of the research, it is concluded that it is advisable to increase funding from the State Budget of Ukraine of this industry sector and continue scientific researches for the formation of methodological provisions and the development of recommendations for financing schemes in favor of this industry.

Changing the Paradigm of Financial Market Regulation (p. 89 - 97)
The modern financial market is a complex and dynamic mechanism that is being rapidly digitalized, new innovative technologies are emerging that change the nature of financial business and the relations between participants. All these phenomena expand the range of challenges and risks, and the threat of their implementation causes the need to change the paradigm of regulation of the financial market. A review of expert studies and conclusions showed that traditional prudential regulation mechanisms are not able to take into account the currrent changes and challenges. The article is aimed at forming a holistic view of determinants and challenges that lead to the need to change the paradigm of financial market regulation, as well as substantiation of the components of the new model of consolidated regulation and supervision. The necessity of forming a risk-oriented model of proportional regulation, focused on preventing growing threats and challenges of the digitalized financial market and its stabilization, is substantiated. It is specified that the evolution of approaches to regulation took place with different dynamics – from simple to synergistic, from adaptive to bifurcation-based, from limited to inclusive. The main determinants of the changes are asserted the following: financial and digital globalization, deregulation, development of information-communication technologies and innovations, digitalization of the market, volatility of market parameters, system risks. It is substantiated that the paradigm shift should take place on the principle of complementarity of traditional monetary policy, prudential and macroprudential regulation on the basis of consolidated supervision and the suptech (Supervisory Technologies). The basis of the new consolidated regulatory model should be a risk-oriented proportional approach that focuses on the volumes and levels of risks taken by different financial institutions. At that, it is expected that the proportionality of regulatory requirements depending on the types of instruments, operations and the level of risk taken will contribute to ensuring market stability, protecting consumers of financial services and stimulating the development of financial business. Prospect for further research is to substantiate the methods and instruments of a proportional risk-oriented regulation.

However, they play an increased social role, should stimulate the country’s economic growth processes and are now system important banks. In such a situation, the definition of an adequate business model of a bank with the State participation becomes relevant for the research of scholars and the implementation of results in the practical field. Banking institutions are subject to changes in the business model depending on external economic factors, which can be due to both changes in market needs and changes in the competitive environment or normative-legal regulation.

The study of existing approaches to determining the business models of banks with the State participation in Ukraine allowed to define that the proposed methods are based on the indicators of financial statements of banks and make use of cluster analysis instruments. The proposed author’s improvement of the content of the concepts of «bank with the State participation» and «business model of the bank with the State participation» defined the direction of development of the categorical apparatus, which should specify the object of research, taking into account its functionality and its system and socioeconomic significance for the banking sector and the economy of Ukraine. The article substantiates the author’s view on the classification of banks with the State participation in business models, taking into account the vector of economic growth of the country.

Bank Lending to Companies of Electric Energy Complex (p. 105 - 111)
The article is aimed at analyzing the current state of bank lending to companies of electric energy complex, highlighting the peculiarities of the introduction of the principles of «green» lending. The importance of the development of the electricity industry as an important component of the national economy of the State is emphasized and the problems that impede the sustainable development of industry companies are identified. The level of bank lending to companies of electric energy complex is analyzed, which indicates a low level of financing of companies in the structure of the loan portfolio of commercial banks of Ukraine and indicates the predominance of short- and medium-term contracts, which limits development opportunities. It is emphasized the need to use «green» loans in order to finance energy sectors through the possibility of mobilizing private capital. The socioecological orientation of «green» lending through the impact on the management of the bank’s relevant risks in order to optimize credit structures and introduce innovative banking services is underlined. The necessity of compliance with key principles ensuring the reliability of the implementation of lending relations within the framework of the provision of «green» loans is determined. The criteria for selection and further on compliance with their sustainable development goals, ensuring the environmental friendliness of projects implemented at the expense of «green» loans, are presented.

Trends in the Formation of the State Budget Revenues of Ukraine (p. 87 - 92)
In the conditions of acceleration of rates of economic growth the question of formation of the State budget of the country acquires special urgency. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main trends in budget revenues in Ukraine, the study of the proportion of taxes in the overall structure of the revenue side. The purpose of the study led to the formation of the following tasks: study of the main items of the State budget revenues of Ukraine, their comparative analysis and proposals for increasing the revenue base of the State taking into account social inequality and peculiarities of mentality. In the course of the analysis such methods of scientific cognition as analysis, comparison, statistical, graphic were used. In the course of the research it was determined that the following types of revenues occupy the largest share in the country's revenues: value added tax, corporate income tax, excise tax. Value added tax has the greatest fiscal potential, as the tax base is concentrated within the consumer needs of individuals and legal entities. The process of consumption is continuous, which is why value added tax can be considered a stable source of budget revenues. However, the high share of taxes in the overall revenue structure is not able to provide the current expenditures of the country, so there is a need to expand sources of funding. The authors proposed a number of measures aimed at increasing the State budget revenues: transition to long-term budget planning, expanding the tax base by introducing luxury taxes, introducing rational property taxation, transition from proportional to progressive personal income taxation system. At this, the authors emphasize the gradual introduction of tax changes, as an instantaneous change of direction can lead to an increase in the level of the shadow economy. Such measures will increase budget revenues and minimize the need for credit resources (public lending).

Functioning of the Banking System of Ukraine: Problems and Prospects (p. 103 - 110)
The article is aimed at analyzing the state of the banking system and forming perspective directions for its development. The main attention in the article is paid to the study of the peculiarities in the functioning of the banking system of Ukraine, its problems and prospects. The carried out analysis showed that the banking system of Ukraine has a sufficient reserve of financial sustainability. The pandemic of 2019 and the war with Russia negatively affected the entire banking system of Ukraine, the number of domestic banking institutions is rapidly decreasing. At the same time, the banking system in the context of war operates smoothly, the level of liquidity of domestic banks remains at a sufficient level due to the presence of significant reserves of highly liquid assets and a slight outflow of banking deposits of the population and business. The dominant tendency in the banking system of Ukraine is the unprecedented crisis caused by the war started by Russia, as result of which significant losses are expected in the banking sector of our State, which is already characterized by high credit risk, large amounts of deductions to reserves and poor quality of loan portfolios and their depreciation. A number of promising directions as to operation of the banking system of Ukraine are proposed, in particular, banks need to apply loan holidays on a weighted basis, carefully assess the financial condition of borrowers, accurately restructure debts, develop cybersecurity, and the NBU should weaken regulatory requirements in case of violation of capital or liquidity standards by banks, stimulate the introduction of various new technologies for various banking payments. Credit risk is the main indicator of the effective activity of domestic banks, which as of today has its negative impact on the entire banking system. The NBU needs to continue to implement anti-crisis measures to increase the profitability, solvency and liquidity of Ukrainian banks.

Approaches to Modeling the Operational Risk of Bank (p. 110 - 119)
The purpose of the article is to study the economic essence and approaches to taxonomy and quantitative assessment of the bank’s operational risk, taking into account the evolution of standards defined by international institutions. The development of financial technologies, along with stochastic factors, require banks to adapt their own operations in response to new challenges or changes in existing threats affecting the operational sustainability of banking institutions. The statistics of the threatening impact of the frequency of events and cumulative losses from operational risk events are presented. It is noted that operational events can be quite diverse in nature, very unpredictable and threatening in general financial impact. This requires continuous improvement of the risk management system and timely validation of the bank’s operational risk assessment models. The article discloses the essence, sources, factors and operational events that are constantly evolving. Also the content of the model instrumentarium is disclosed. It is noted that the economic nature of operational risk has internal and external sources, several levels of their manifestation, covers all processes, products and systems of bank, including the human factor. The article generalizes taxonomy of operational risk according to various criteria. It is proved that it is the distribution of business lines that helps banks to more easily identify the types of operational risk events inherent in each individual bank, taking into account the peculiarities of their own business models. The multiplicity of operational risk events justifies the need for their adequate assessment and use of new methods for predicting and eliminating threats. The advantages of an actuarial approach are substantiated. Actuarial models can be used both at the level of «top – down» and the level of «bottom – up», have significant advantages in both methodological and practical aspects in calculating the amount of capital required to absorb risks from the implementation of risk events. The major shortcomings of the three main approaches proposed to the assessment of operational risk in Basel II (AMA, TSA, BIA) are highlighted. Updated by the Basel Committee, the standardized approach is a combination of best practices for assessing operational risk that can be applied in any bank, regardless of jurisdiction, size, and business model.

International Experience in the Development of the Payment Card Market and Problems with Functioning of Payment Cards in Ukraine (p. 119 - 124)
Cash, payment systems and instruments in modern conditions are the basis of the economy and life of each country, ensuring the possibility of exchange between the owners of certain goods or services, which, in turn, is one of the main conditions for the existence of credit and the State. The presence of a bank payment card gives its owner a number of advantages, including convenience during the calculation, reliability of saving the own funds, paying bills online. Bank payment cards are effective and profitable for all participants of the payment system, as evidenced by their rapid spread. For banking institutions, such operations bring profit in the form of commission income from servicing card accounts, accomplished transactions, as well as from an increase in the number of customers through the provision of new services, reducing the bank’s costs for servicing cash, etc. Bank payment cards are one of the most progressive tools for providing banking services. In the circumstances of the unstable situation in the financial market because of the hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the coronavirus epidemic, the lack of financial resources, it becomes extremely necessary to expand and improve cashless payments due to the introduction of innovations in the payment card market. The article is aimed at summarizing the problems with functioning and development of the payment card market in Ukraine, along with the possibilities of using international experience to solve them. The article defines the advantages and disadvantages of practical use of payment cards in the financial market of Ukraine. Taking into account the mentioned shortcomings in the use of bank payment cards in non-cash payments, factors that hamper the development of the domestic payment card market are identified. The results of the study of the development of the payment card market allowed to outline the main problems of using payment cards in Ukraine.

The Impact of Economic Problems on the Country's Defense Capability (p. 78 - 84)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the current threats and challenges of the economic direction, which affect the defense capabilities of our country during the war. Considering the military security strategy of Ukraine, the economic conditions for the implementation of the State policy in the military sphere are singled out. As a result of the study, new threats were identified that arose as a result of the war and affect the provision of adequate defense capabilities of the country. The following problems that arose as a result of military actions were assessed: the hindrance of delivering weapons and foodstuffs to the territory where active military operations are taking place; implementation of export-import operations; decrease in currency operations; increase in fuel prices, which lead to an increase in the material and technical costs of the defense sector; rising inflation; destruction of most military facilities of the defense complex and transport junctions, etc. The following types of military assistance received by Ukraine were considered: receiving equipment under the terms of lend-lease, non-lethal defense equipment under the conditions of direct commercial supplies, free assistance in the form of military-technical assistance and financial resources for the purchase of equipment and weapons under government guarantees. Prospects for further research in this direction are to solve the above problems by attracting additional funding from various countries in the form of loans and grants, as well as the implementation of appropriate measures by the State authorities, the National Bank of Ukraine and other institutions that actively cooperate with the State. The priority economic measures after the end of the war are a timely inventory of the entire defense complex of the country in order to evaluate the equipment that is available; analysis of all the losses caused by the war and the real possibilities of the country to rebuild the defense-industrial complex; formation of a clear plan for the development of not only the defense sector, but all other industries, which will allow ensuring the normal functioning of the country's economy; review of all government programs in the defense sector, in order to exclude inefficient ones; emphasis on priority developments; revision of long-term programs, since they do not take into account the consequences of the war and possible hyperinflation in the country in the postwar period.

Transformation of the Financial Sector: Factors, Forms, Directions (p. 84 - 93)
The decisive tendency of recent decades has been the rapid growth of the volume of financial business. Obviously this new round of development is formed under the influence of certain factors, is implemented in various forms and directions. In search of the optimal correlation between these basic components of the strategy for the development of the fiance sector, they are transformed, complicated and acquire a new meaning. The purpose of the article is to determine the priority directions for the development of domestic financial business on the basis of an in-depth understanding of the factors and forms of transformation changes in the financial sector. It is determined that speaking of transformation such properties as evolution, complexity, purposefulness, maturity, acyclicity, and additiveness are appropriate. It is noted that transformation processes should be proactive, have medium- and long-term planning horizons and dynamically implement inevitable transformations, choosing the right vector of such changes. The financial sector acts as an object of transformation. Based on this, it is imperative to understand the factors that lead to transformation and the goal of achieving the final result of transformation. It is proposed to systematize them into two groups: those that lead to the transformation of the financial sector, and the factors that accompany it. Emphasis is placed on the risk landscape of financial sector transformation, which is determined by the nature and form of structural, institutional, organizational, functional, and regulatory changes and is manifested in the differences between the set strategic goals and the actual result. Two key directions of transformation of the financial sector are highlighted: organizational and functional. The organizational transformation involves the transformation of the institutional structure of the financial sector and the organization of conduct of financial activities. The functional transformation involves rethinking the functions of the financial and banking sectors, their role, conceptions, and rules of regulation. It is substantiated that these directions precisely require modernization, updating and a closer definition of the relevant organizational and procedural forms of their implementation. Based on the results of the carried out generalization, promising directions for the transformation of the financial sector of Ukraine are identified.

The Analysis of Financial Support of Infrastructure Projects of Lviv (p. 184 - 190)
The goal is to analyze the current options of infrastructure projects financing in Lviv by establishing alternative sources of strengthening their financial support. The study analyses the volume of additional funds for community improvement at the expense of the State Fund of Regional Development and subventions from the State budget to local budgets in order to implement the measures for the socioeconomic development of individual territories. It was found that it is not realistic to finance completely the necessary infrastructure projects at the expense of budget funds. Especially for the needs of territorial communities with the possibility of being used by several communities simultaneously, a new attracting funds tool for the implementation of local investment projects – bonds of local development funds – is proposed. The alternative way to attract additional sources of funds, in particular, is the emission of bonds of local development funds. According to the international classification, bonds of local development funds belong to infrastructure bonds. It is noted that they exist already in the Ukrainian projects of loan capital legislative regulation. The determined bonds, if implemented, should advantageously differ from corporate bonds or local loan bonds due to: determining the direction of the intended use of borrowed funds; specific issuer – the Local Development Fund; relatively low risks for investors due to control of the budget cash flow for bonds repayment and receiving income on bonds. Their advantage is that, unlike local loan bonds, where issuers can only be city councils, the regional, district, settlement and village councils can also make decisions to issue the local development fund bonds. At the same time, attention is focused on the initiation of new businesses in the field of housing and communal services, in particular, through the creation of small enterprises that will provide important services to meet the needs of the territorial community on the basis of subcontract agreements. Local self-governed bodies have the opportunity to stimulate such business initiatives among the unemployed population that are available to work, providing space (premises) to newly created self-employed persons – entrepreneurs, compensating the rent as one-time payment from the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine for the organization of entrepreneurial activities by unemployed citizens.

The purpose of the article is a theoretical-methodological substantiation along with development of practical recommendations for improving existing and developing innovative approaches to managing the financial potential of territorial communities on the basis of sustainable development, taking into account European experience. Using the methods of scientific synthesis, comparison and systematization, the theoretical-methodological foundations of managing the financial potential of territorial communities on the basis of sustainable development and European integration are summarized. To develop ways to improve the efficiency of managing the financial potential of the development of territorial communities, taking into account European experience, abstract-logical and statistical-economic methods of scientific research were used. The article proves that the decentralization reform contributed to changing the system of organization of local authorities through the creation of amalgamated territorial communities, which received a wider range of powers in making managerial decisions, as well as additional sources of formation of financial resources. It is defined that the key among them are the budget, investment, credit, and grant ones. The experience of the European Union countries has shown that the application of an integrated approach to achieve the goals of sustainable development of territorial communities by promoting creation of jobs, research and innovation in the field of infrastructural development of territories, cooperation between cities and villages, implementation of technical assistance measures is also relevant for our domestic realities. An important aspect of managing the financial resources of the EU Member States is the targeted nature of the use of funds and the availability of an effective system of financial management on the ground. Based on the experience of the EU Member States, key goals, principles and levers of managing the financial potential of territorial communities are formulated, focused on the optimal formation, distribution and use of their financial resources, as well as on the adoption of a set of interrelated decisions that will contribute to their sustainable development.

Development of the Central Banks’ Digital Currency Market in a Highly Competitive Environment (p. 74 - 81)
The purpose of the article is to theoretically and empirically examine the competition between central and commercial banks in connection with the emergence of digital money of central banks and the outflow of public funds from commercial banks. The evolution of theoretical foundations and assumptions regarding market competition is considered through the prism of emergence of private money. It is emphasized that the use of cash in many countries, including Ukraine, is declining. Under the influence of the development of financial and technological companies, there are more and more ways to make electronic payments without the use of payment cards and banking services. In many countries, the number of cryptocurrency users is growing, which further increases the level of competition between the private and public sectors. The main threats and risks to the development of the cryptocurrency market, the main advantages of cryptocurrency and the latest trends in the development of the cryptocurrency market, in particular in Ukraine, have been defined. It has been discovered that cryptocurrencies have become a means of payment in many countries, their number continues to grow. Ukraine has topped the ranking of countries with the largest share of the population owning cryptocurrencies which comprise 12.7%, entering the top 5 countries in the world in terms of the number of the users of crypto assets. The development of the cryptocurrency market has led to increased competition for private digital currencies, which has become one of the reasons for the issuance of the central bank’s digital currency (CBDC). The introduction of CBDC is mainly due to gradual trends in the digitalization of the economy, the emergence of decentralized cryptocurrencies, which have created competition to banking systems (in particular, bank settlements). However, the signs of decentralization and a high level of confidentiality, which are characteristic of cryptocurrencies and are the guarantee to demand for them, reduce the competitiveness of the CBDC and create certain risks for the global economy. A tendency has been identified for central banks to find ways to maintain a leading role in the payment system, ensuring public access to central bank money and at the same time developing innovations in the financial sector.

The P2P Crediting as an Innovative Tool for Credit Market Development: The Foreign Experience and Opportunities for Ukraine (p. 82 - 87)
In today’s conditions, when small and medium-sized businesses need significant financial investment support in Ukraine, it is P2P plaffers that can act as an effective credit tool that will represent an alternative to existing banks. Over the world, P2P and P2B ecosystems have already been created, standardized and are actively used to stimulate the economy. The purpose of the article is to study the foreign experience in the development of the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) crediting system to isolate and further take into account the possible potentially positive and negative effects of the promotion and distribution of P2P platforms in the financial market in Ukraine. P2P crediting is considered as one of the fastest growing forms of investment without the participation of credit institutions, but which is currently experiencing a legal vacuum due to the lack of special regulations that will establish the legal status, rights, obligations, responsibilities and guarantees of participants in mutual financing. The formation of peer-to-peer crediting in some countries, such as Great Britain, the USA, China, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Estonia, is analyzed. Based on the carried on analysis, it was determined that abroad the P2P crediting system is in the state of constant development. As a result of the study, it was determined that this type of crediting has good prospects for development in Ukraine. The main proposals for accelerating the paces of development of P2P crediting are highlighted as follows: creating a stable and balanced regulatory framework; continuation of work to improve the financial literacy of the population (in terms of awareness of P2P crediting); creation of incentives for cooperation of traditional financial institutions with crowdlanding platforms in order to increase the level of cooperation and interaction of financial market participants.

The purpose of the article is to create a new approach to the classification of stock market indicators in economic theory. Three groups of indicators are proposed, including indicators of supply and demand, evolvement of stock market, and localization. The group of indicators of supply and demand is created on the basis of the market analysis standard in marketing research, including: capacity, capitalization, stock market turnover, stock indices, P/E index. Within the framework of this group, it is also proposed to use the indicator of IPO share in the capitalization of stock market, which demonstrates the degree of openness of the market and investors to new companies and is opposed to the characteristics of the conservatism of the stock market. Stock indices are considered separately and their classification is schematically created according to the calculation method, providing the stock indices, calculated using the method of arithmetic mean simple, geometric mean and arithmetic mean weighted. The belonging of the largest existing stock indices to a certain type in accordance with calculation is demonstrated. A practical explanation of the various approaches to the methodology for determining stock indices is presented. In the second group of development indicators, the following are highlighted: liquidity, profitability, volatility, and concentration of the stock market, by which it is possible to assess not only the quality characteristics, but also the level of evolvement of the stock market. The third group was created on the basis of localization, which interprets the characteristics of the stock market depending on its geographical affiliation. This group includes: the degree of development of equity capital, openness, transparency of the stock market, the level of risk of a separate country, the investment attractiveness index, the index of attractiveness of both venture and direct investments. It is identified that certain indicators determine the level of other indicators within this group. For each of the three groups of indicators, the essence of the indicator, the methodology for calculation and application were examined. There is also an explanation of the signs by which the indicators were assigned to a certain group of indicators in the proposed approach to their classification.

The Theoretical Tenets of Taxation of the Small Business Legal Entities (p. 96 - 101)
The aim of the study is to substantiate the theoretical postulates of the simplified taxation system. In the course of scientific research, to achieve the goal, it is planned to solve the following tasks: to examine the function of the mechanism for administering the single tax on small businesses; to determine the scope of the possibility of paying a single tax; to distinguish the stages of taxation by a single tax of legal entities. As a result of the study, it is defined that the simplified taxation system has become the most effective instrument for strengthening the business activity of enterprises, and the development of new tax instruments and the construction of a comprehensive system for taxation of small businesses will allow small businesses, including legal entities, to pay tax liabilities at the lowest cost. Taxation of small business enterprises can be considered in different interpretations: political (development of territories), sociopolitical (revival of the middle class), social (increase in jobs and incomes), and economic (creation of GDP). Thus, the interpretation of the essence of taxation of small businesses can be considered from the standpoint of a triune approach that characterizes it as a phenomenon, process, and system. It is argued that the organization of taxation through the payment of a single tax by a legal entity can be divided into six stages which include: choosing the form of taxation and submitting an application for registration; determining the amount of income that provides an opportunity to become a single tax payer; obtaining a permit document – an extract from the register; declaration and payment of a single tax for the formation of the revenue part of the local budget. It is stipulated that the formation of the tax control system and its periodicity depends on the degree of risk of the activities of single tax payers.

The Economic Consequences of Money Laundering under Martial Law (p. 102 - 107)
The purpose of the article is to evaluate the consequences of money laundering and disclose their features under martial law. Taking into account the provisions of the Methodology for National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism in Ukraine, analyzing, systematizing and generalizing the works of scholars, the main consequences of money laundering are defined (deterioration of the stability of financial institutions and the financial system as a whole; deformation of consumption; artificial increase in prices; changes in exports, imports, exchange rates; impact on tax revenues and increasing the possibility of budget deficit; impact on economic growth rates of the country). Approaches to recognizing the positive effect of money laundering along with proposals that such operations can be carried out through developed countries were critically evaluated. Despite the examples of money laundering with the participation of large companies and financial institutions in Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland and the results of a study of the activities of Australian firms that received positive indicators as a result of money laundering obtained in the course of criminal activities or gambling, the inexpediency of legalizing money laundering through developed countries is substantiated. When solving the problem of money laundering, which has gone beyond the regions and has become global, the need to take into account the interests of different groups of countries and the fact that money laundering in developed countries does not eliminate sociopolitical consequences has been proved. As a result of the study, the peculiarities of the consequences of money laundering under martial law are revealed. It is shown that the introduction of martial law exacerbated a number of negative manifestations of money laundering, while the significance of a number of consequences is practically leveled due to the use of additional tools for the State-run regulation of the economy. Prospects for further research in this direction are the consideration of international practices in countering the money laundering and the financing of terrorism in crisis conditions.

Assessing the Efficiency of Use of Leasing as a Means of Fixed Assets Renovation at the Enterprise (p. 108 - 113)
The article analyzes modern methods for assessing the efficiency of use of leasingas a means of updating the fixed assets of an enterprise. It is noted that the use of a loan is generally more appropriate if the collateral that the borrower wants to own at the end of the term retains its value after the term of the transaction. Leasing should be used for property that depreciates rapidly, such as high-tech products, and does not retain its value at expiration. It is shown that in order to make economically sound decisions, it is advisable to analyze a leasing agreement as an investment project. It is argued that the most effective method for assessing the efficiency of a leasing agreement is an approach based on assessing the efficiency of leasing compared with an alternative tool for raising funds for the acquisition of property, for example, with a loan. It is shown that the efficiency of a leasing agreement can be determined by comparing the total amount that will be paid to the lessor with the price of the leased asset itself, which could be bought for cash or on credit. The necessity of taking into account tax and other benefits provided for leasing operations is noted. It is argued that the analysis of the efficiency of leasing operations should be carried out taking into account both NPV and IRR by using an integral indicator of the efficiency of investing funds in the acquisition of fixed assets. The key differences between leasing and credit are analyzed. It was shown, that the main methods for assessing the effectiveness of a leasing transaction, which are compared with the acquisition of property through a bank loan, include: comparison of the internal rate of return of a leasing and credit transaction, comparison of discounted cash flows for leasing and lending, comparison of the lease rate with bank interest, comparison of payback periods of both investments, comparison of profitability of leasing and credit agreements.

Government Debt of Ukraine: The Challenges and Threats for the Economy (p. 152 - 161)
The scientific study carried out a retrospective analysis on the interpretation of the concept of «government debt» and defined its role for the State and society. It was found that the most liberal approach to the formation of government debt obligations and tax pressure on society can be traced when considering the Keynesian theory. The essence of the concept of «debt» in the Civil Code of Ukraine is defined. Thus, given the complexity and diversity of the definition, the legislator cites the interpretation of debt from the standpoint of financial relations between the borrower and the lender. The concept of «government debt» has certain specific characteristics, although there are common features with the well-known concept of «debt». This is connected with the presence of a special status of the debtor, a role acted by the State, which at the same time can also be a creditor for business entities and certain sectors of the economy. The article analyzes the formation of government debt from 2010 to 2022 As of the end of the second quarter of 2022, the government and government guaranteed debt of Ukraine amounted to UAH 3083.22 billion, including: government and government guaranteed external debt – UAH 1789.39 billion; government and government guaranteed domestic debt – UAH 1293.83 billion. Such a significant amount of government debt in 2022 is caused by the need to finance the costs of the army and protection of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. According to experts in the field of public finance management, at the end of 2022 the government debt in relation to GDP will be about 106%. This indicator is quite high, but does not pose a significant threat to the country’s economy. It is determined that with the normalization of the situation and with the growth of economic potential, debts can be repaid on time and in full. The authors of the article support the position on the impossibility of default on the debts, since this economic phenomenon negatively affects the reputation of the borrower country in the future.

The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical foundations of budget security, highlight threats and directions for its strengthening, as well as an carry out an indicative analysis of the security situation in the budget sphere of Ukraine. Examining and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars, both economists and theorists, the authors’ own definition of the economic essence of «budget security» is developed. The basic foundations of theoretical identification of budget security of the State are allocated and substantiated. The indicators for assessing the level of budget security are outlined and the input information for their calculation is provided. The input information is analyzed to calculate the indicators of the state of budget security of Ukraine in 2016-2021. Critical and optimal values of indicators are highlighted. A list of indicators for determining the state of budget security of Ukraine in 2016-2021 was put to calculation. As a result, an integral indicator of Ukraine’s budget security was calculated. The level of budget security of Ukraine for 2022-2024 is prognosticated. Threats to ensuring the optimal level of budget security of Ukraine are allocated. It is proved that the main threats to Ukraine’s budget security can be determined by examining the ratio of total payments for servicing and repayment of public debt and the State budget revenues. The key directions of strengthening the budget security of our State have been identified. It is proved that ensuring the budget security of the State is one of the major tasks of implementing the strategic guidelines of the country’s development programs. Prospect for further research in this direction is to determine the degree of influence of business entities and the State institutions on the mechanisms for ensuring budget security. Further study and research of budgetary relations in the field of budget security can lead to the strengthening of traditional budget management.

Financial Monitoring in the Securities Market of Ukraine (p. 175 - 180)
The purpose of the article is to study the current status of financial monitoring carried out in the securities market of Ukraine. The article analyzes the activities of the entities of the State-based financial monitoring and primary financial monitoring in the stock market of Ukraine. Their main functions and tasks in the financial monitoring system are distinguished. Based on the carried out research, it is concluded that securities are often used in illegal schemes (withdrawal of assets outside Ukraine, minimization of tax liabilities, tax evasion, etc.) that precede the laundering of criminal income. One of the risky instruments of the financial market was also the purchase and sale of domestic government bonds. On the one hand, this type of securities can be considered one of the most reliable financial instruments due to its high liquidity and wide range of applications. At the same time, the high demand and peculiarities of execution of contracts concluded on the stock exchange for the purchase/sale of domestic government bonds make them attractive in schemes of legalization of illegal income, especially for public figures who must declare their wealth. Considering the nature of reports of violations of securities transactions, it can be concluded that there is a high proportion of possible schemes for legalizing dirty funds. Under martial law, there have been significant changes in the process of identification and verification of clients of the primary financial monitoring entities in order to simplify the purchase of government securities. Thus it is worth noting that the largest share of violations of financial legislation falls on government bonds, which have become available to various categories of investors (including individuals). This fact may contribute to the emergence of new schemes for laundering (legalization) of proceeds from crime. Therefore, the entities of the State-based financial monitoring should develop a system of hedging risks regarding the placement of government bonds among different categories of investors. This is especially true of the over-the-counter market. It is worth noting that this segment of the stock market is under the partial control of the national depository of the NBU. Therefore, it is proposed to create an entity in the securities market that would adopt the functions of controlling and preventing fraudulent and manipulative actions with securities.

The Problems of Financial Risks Management in the Risk Management System and the Methods for Solving (p. 181 - 186)
The article is concerned with the current methods of managing financial risks for an enterprise. The main directions of risk management and methods of neutralization of financial risks are considered. Risks are an important component of the economy, politics, social life of society, that is, they are present in all branches of activity and directions of any company, enterprise or organization operating in market conditions. Risks are associated with management and depend on the effectiveness, efficiency and validity of decisions. There are different definitions of the concept of «financial risk», depending on the position from which the author considers the category of «financial risk», he emphasizes and strengthens in his definition one or another specificity of the financial risk. In order to comprehensively understand financial risk, it is necessary to analyze its indicators. The article describes the main approaches to the definition of the concept of «financial risk», reveals the content of the risk management process, and describes the main methods of financial risks. To manage financial risks in an organization, the following basic methods are used: risk evasion (or, otherwise, its avoidance); prevention and control of possible losses (risk absorption); preservation of risk (taking over a risk); risk transfer. Opportunity and consequences are two important components of risk. A quantitative characteristic must take into account both of these elements. Another important characteristic of financial risk is the uncertainty of its consequences. This characteristic of financial risk is determined by the inability to change the quantitative financial result in the process of making financial decisions. The consequences of financial risk can be both positive and negative. In practice, the level of financial risk is most often assessed, first of all, by the amount of possible harm.

Leasing as an Integrated Form of Entrepreneurial Activity (p. 186 - 192)
The article analyzes the diverse aspects of determining the economic content of leasing as an integral form of entrepreneurial activity, which includes rental, credit and investment relations. It is noted that in the functional aspect, leasing is an institution that provides technical re-equipment of enterprises and acceleration of scientific-technological progress through direct investments in material and financial forms. It is underlined that leasing has a complex triple basis and contains simultaneously elements of a trade agreement, investment and lease forms of activity, which are closely combined and interact with each other, forming a novel economic and legal form of entrepreneurial activity. At that, the right to use the property is separated from the right to own it. In some cases, after the expiration of the lease term, the lessee’s right to purchase the object and the ownership of it may be provided. It is shown that the functioning of leasing as an independent type of entrepreneurship is based on the possibility of dividing the components of ownership into two constituents – the use of the object (its use in accordance with the purpose and with the aim of generating income) and the right of absolute property of the person. At that, too, leasing is considered as one of the mechanisms for overcoming the crisis in the economy and improving the investment climate. It is substantiated that the further development of the leasing business requires improvement of leasing mechanisms and the further, more complex schemes for fulfilling the agreements, since leasing relations are a special type of financial relations, the specificity of which is that leasing is used, first of all, as a form of investment financing, contributing to an increase in the economic potential of both individual economic entities and the leasing services market in general. A refined definition of leasing as an independent, system-forming, integral, economic and legal form of entrepreneurial activity is proposed, including a whole range of economic relations – investment, credit, rental, and trade.

It is noted that public debt is the result of the movement of borrowed capital, which has a significant impact on the state of public finances, the investment climate, money circulation, and the development of international cooperation. It is determined that a significant amount of public debt, which was formed during the period of Ukrainian independence, negatively affects the economic situation in the country, and debt servicing creates a burden on the State budget. At the moment, the debt policy needs to find improved ways to attract credit funds and identify effective ways to use them to better the financial situation and strengthen Ukraine’s economy. The article defines the structure of the State debt of Ukraine in terms of foreign currencies. It is proved that the debt mostly consists of borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. An analysis of both the public and the State-guaranteed debt by type of interest rates during the analyzed period was carried out and it was noted that borrowings include a significant share of debt instruments with a fixed rate. The structure of the public debt by type of creditor during 2017-2021 is presented. It is proved that issued securities in the domestic and foreign markets occupy the largest share in the structure of the debt. The economic essence of domestic and foreign government bonds is defined. Domestic government bonds (OVDPs), which are in circulation at nominal depreciation value during 2017-2021, are considered in terms of foreign currencies and owners. Based on the carried out analysis, the main reasons that led to the growth of the volume of both the public and the State-guaranteed debt in Ukraine and the directions of their optimization in public debt management are identified.

Challenges and Priorities of Equity Management of Ukrainian Banks During the Period of Martial Law (p. 195 - 204)
The article examines the challenges and peculiarities of the management of the equity capital of Ukrainian banks during the period of martial law. It is proven that the current economic conditions of banks’ functioning are aggravated by a significant level of turbulence in financial markets, crisis phenomena in the real sector of the economy and the global energy market, which creates new challenges in the aspect of bank equity management. The existing understanding of the integrative role of banks’ equity capital in ensuring its functional adequacy to the needs of the national economy at each of the turns of its cycle is disclosed. The characteristic properties of banks’ equity capital, according to the practice of its management, are defined as favorable and those that bring additional challenges when increasing the capitalization of banks in the period of martial law. It was noted that the process of equity capital management has a contradiction at its core: on the one hand, the development of the bank is carried out mainly at the expense of borrowed funds, on the other hand, the scale of its activity is closely related to the amount of own capital. Therefore, it is advisable to make decisions in the field of the formation of the bank’s equity capital on the basis of a comparative analysis of the growth rates of risky assets and liabilities. The bank’s financial managers should pay critical attention to determining the value of equity capital, which will provide an opportunity to increase management efficiency and obtain a relevant information flow for making informed decisions. A comparative analysis of the main economic norms of the capital of the banking system of Ukraine for 2018–2022 justified the implementation of the basic norms regarding capital, however, the assessment of the structure of the equity capital of Ukrainian banks showed that the amount of equity capital continues to be less than the authorized capital, which is explained by the significant losses of the banking system of Ukraine. According to the results of the study, the modern problems of managing the equity capital of Ukrainian banks are substantiated, and priorities and recommendations for their solution are determined. It has been proven that in periods of turbulence, equity capital is more necessary to maintain the solvency of banks than to increase active operations, since capitalization processes occur more slowly than the trends of capital movement on a global scale require. In the conditions of limiting the number of external sources of capitalization of Ukrainian banks, special attention should be paid to the development of internal innovative financial and organizational tools capable of meeting the requirements of both bank owners, managers and clients. Among these tools, it is appropriate to single out corporate governance, in particular, the effective dividend policy of banks and the consideration in banking risk management systems of specific risks of the distribution of ownership rights and management, especially when it concerns the identification of beneficial owners from the aggressor country.

Minimizing Credit Risk and Improving the Quality of the Bank’s Loan Portfolio (p. 205 - 210)
The article considers the main factors that form credit risk and determines the role of credit risk in the process of formation of the credit portfolio of a commercial bank. It is determined that bank lending involves the functioning of a complex mechanism that includes certain actions aimed at attracting cheap funds and their use in accordance with the terms of the established lending policy, taking into account the minimum risk and maximum profit. As you know, the main source of income of banks is the profit from lending. In this regard, the main problem facing the bank’s management today is the effective management of the bank’s loan portfolio. Against the background of the negative impact of the global financial crisis, the formation of an optimal loan portfolio of the bank is of particular importance in order to increase the efficiency of its activities through the appropriate credit policy. Improving the quality of lending and optimizing the structure of banks’ loan portfolios are traditionally relevant in research, as lending has always been and will remain the main economic function of banks. The article describes each stage of credit activity, which consists of sequential actions. The definition of "credit portfolio quality" as a complex concept that characterizes the efficiency of credit portfolio formation in order to determine its profitability and the degree of credit risk is considered. The development of measures to optimize credit risk is one of the ways to improve the credit process and the entire system of managing the financial flows of the bank as a whole, not just banking risks. The factors influencing the formation of credit risk are analyzed. The main approaches to credit portfolio management in a commercial bank are characterized. It is proved that most of the constructed and implemented models for optimizing the loan portfolio are based on the criterion of risk-return (rather than profitability-risk) and have certain limitations and difficulties in practical application. The quality of the loan portfolio determines the bank’s capabilities in its functioning in the market of credit products, which affects the level of its lending activity and the possibility of restoring positions in the credit market. The process associated with lending is determined by the quality of credit work in banks. Statistics on the functioning of commercial domestic and foreign banks indicates that a well-organized credit process, a well-formed loan portfolio and credit policy will ensure the bank’s prosperity in the future.

Institutional Principles of the Government Tax Policy (p. 210 - 215)
The purpose of the article is to disclose and deepen the institutional foundations of the government tax policy, taking into account the challenges of the special period. The article defines the basic principles and criteria for the formation of government tax policy. The expediency of taking into account retrospective foreign experience in the development and implementation of domestic tax policy is substantiated. The main tax trends in foreign countries are identified – the development of tax administration in the context of digitalization of the economy; development of a system of tax monitoring and control over the income of non-residents and transnational corporations; implementation of measures to counter the erosion of the tax base; expanding the rules for disclosing information about taxpayers; institutional improvement of tax mechanisms; strengthening the effectiveness of measures to combat tax offenses. The possibilities of using tax incentives for research and innovation activities of enterprises are considered. Compliance with the principle of taxation stability is a compromise option for the implementation of tax policy under martial law. It is substantiated that the priority of domestic tax policy in the post-war period should be to stimulate employment, especially for young people. Creating new jobs and supporting employment is fully in line with the goals of sustainable development – overcoming the poverty and alleviating inequality. It is important to deshadow the incomes of the population, to form the basic conditions for the lack of motivation to evade personal income tax and a single social contribution. The possibilities of increasing the financial capacity of territorial communities, increasing the fiscal efficiency of local taxes and fees are considered. In particular, several steps are proposed to strengthen the fiscal capacity of property taxes. The expediency of developing a tax risk management system is determined, which will provide an opportunity to optimize the transaction costs of tax policy and ensure the appropriate fiscal effectiveness of the tax system.

Features of Taxation and Doing Business by Insurance Companies in the Wartime (p. 216 - 220)
The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of taxation and doing business by insurance companies under martial law and to determine an algorithm of actions if an insured event occurred during the wartime. Our country is at war now, the current task for business consists in supporting the economy of our State, and this can only be done by preserving the business that operates in Ukraine and pays taxes. Insurance companies must accumulate their strength and do everything to be useful to society for the preservation of Ukraine. The rules of doing business have changed, this is also because of the changes in tax legislation in the wartime. The state for the duration of martial law has simplified tax rules and conditions for doing business. The government has introduced significant changes to reduce the tax burden on insurance companies and on citizens of the country. The amount of taxes paid to the State and local budgets depends on the financing of the defense capability of our country and the performance of other functions assigned to the State. Taxes must be paid on time and in full. The current system of taxation of insurance companies has some problems that require their further study and search for solutions. This will give impetus to new opportunities for the development of the insurance business in our country, since precisely the insurance market is an important component of a market economy that protects people’s well-being and makes a profit by investing temporarily free money in promising projects.

The Ecological Taxation as an Instrument of Influence on the Volumes of Waste Generation: Implementing the European Experience in Ukraine (p. 221 - 230)
The purpose of the article is to study the systems of ecological tax collection in Ukraine and Europe, as well as to substantiate proposals for improving the mechanism for calculating, distributing and using ecological tax funds in Ukraine, using the EU experience. The authors characterize the system of ecological taxation in the EU member states and make a comparison of the types of ecological taxes levied in the EU-27 countries and in Ukraine. An analysis of the volumes of waste generation, CO2 emissions and ecological tax revenues in the EU-27 countries was carried out. It is observed that there is a directly proportional relationship between the volumes of waste generation, CO2 emissions and the amount of revenues from the payment of ecological taxes in the EU-27 countries, that is, with an increase (decrease) in the value of one of them several times, the value of another value increases (decreases) by the same number of times. The revenues from ecological taxes in incomes and the share of ecological taxes in the overall structure of tax revenues of some European countries and Ukraine were analyzed. The model of the impact of ecological tax regulation on decision-making by ecological polluters is presented, the main problems that currently exist in the domestic system of ecological tax collection are identified and measures to solve these problems are proposed. Simultaneously, it is determined that the proposed measures to increase ecological tax rates can lead to serious risks in the implementation of production and economic activities by enterprises. In view of the above-mentioned, the need for further research is to improve the system of targeted allocation of funds from the payment of ecological taxes and financing of ecological measures and the introduction of energy- and resource-saving low-waste and waste-free technologies at enterprises.

A Comparative Сharacterization of the Risk-Oriented Financial Strategies of Companies in the International Market During the Wartime (p. 229 - 236)
The article is aimed at comparing existing risk-oriented financial strategies and developing recommendations for their implementation in the activities of Ukrainian companies focused on international markets, especially under conditions of martial law. The article is devoted to the analysis of modern approaches to determining risks and their implementation in the financial strategy. It is proved that modern enterprises, especially those operating in the international market, are focused on the constant updating of the financial strategy in accordance with the requirements of the external environment. It is found that at the present stage of economic development, companies, in particular international ones, operate in the conditions of the sixth technological structure of the economy. The processes of economic development at this stage are associated with the introduction of technological, organizational and institutional innovations, paying special attention from science and management practice to the implementation of a risk-oriented approach, even for enterprises engaged in the production of consumer goods. Today, the implementation of risk management best practices is directed towards improving the management’s ability to predict and respond to changes so that the company not only survives in conditions of uncertainty, but develops and shows better results. The main risks of the development of modern companies are specified, among which are: the risk of interruptions in production; risk of cyber incidents; risk of natural disasters; risk of amendments to legislation and public policy; risk of changes in the market situation; risk of new competitors entering the market; risk of new technologies; risk of climate change; risk of reputational damage or a decrease in brand value; risk of a shortage of skilled labor force. It is proved that taking into account these risks in the development of a financial strategy is a necessary condition for the stable development of the company. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the risk-oriented financial strategies of international companies proposed in the article are systematized as follows: concentrated growth; integrated growth; diversified growth; differentiation; minimum costs; development. It is determined that for modern enterprises operating in a turbulent external environment, but at the same time promoting their products to world markets and hoping to more actively explore new markets, it is extremely important to choose the optimal financial strategy that would take into account the risks. Precisely for this purpose, the existing financial strategies are systematized in the publication and it is proved that the application of these strategies in the context of risk orientation can increase the efficiency of enterprise development in the international market.

The Monitoring of Financial Insolvency and Probability of Bankruptcy (p. 237 - 242)
In countries with unstable economies and changing political systems, as well as adverse climatic conditions, the likelihood of bankruptcy is higher. Economic and political instability is now observed in Ukraine, where, due to hostilities, part of the business was forced to emigrate to safer places of doing business, and other part stopped operating. The increased pace of inflation, the unstable exchange rate of the national currency, the decline in business activity, the outflow of labor and investments from the country, including those related to scientific and technical developments, had a negative impact on the business climate in Ukraine. At the macroeconomic level, bankruptcy can be considered as a process of cleaning the economy from inefficient enterprises that undermine bona fide relationships with other business entities, and, as a result, maintaining the potential and attractiveness of the market. Bankruptcy as an economic phenomenon gives rise to a number of problems, including: reduced demand for producers’ products; decrease in production volumes; growth of debt to suppliers, the State budget, banks and other counterparties; delays in the payment of wages to employees; unpredictable change in the economic environment in general. That is why financial stability and sustainability of enterprises requires increased attention on the part of management. Diagnosis of bankruptcy of an enterprise allows timely identifying its insolvency, unprofitability, financial dependence and low business activity using a number of indicators given in classical models developed by economists and other specialists. However, due to the large number of developed models, there is a need to determine the most optimal for domestic enterprises. Both foreign and domestic scholars have developed methods and models to effectively assess the risks of bankruptcy. In this publication, the models of Springate, Altman and Tereshchenko are used on the example of the enterprise of «LCF SVITOCH LLC» and it is determined that it is financially sustainable, but the indicators of 2020 in all models are worse than the same indicators in 2018. Nowadays there are many methods (with their advantages and disadvantages) to assess the probability of bankruptcy. For their effective application in practice, it is important to choose the most optimal one, taking into account regional peculiarities.

An example and procedure for filling out a request for the use of simplified taxation system for the application of a 2% preferential rate of a single tax on taxpayer’s income for a month are considered. The peculiarities and conditions for filling out such a request for its successful adoption by the state tax service are detailed. A comparison of the conditions of stay on the simplified taxation system at the rate of 5% and at the rate of 2% for EE SMB under martial law is made. An example of a completed tax return of a single tax payer of the third group for the period of martial law / state of emergency in Ukraine is given. A step-by-step visualization of filling in both the application and the declaration in accordance with the terms of tax legislation is presented. A comparative analysis was carried out on the periods of payment of the single tax at the rate of 5% and at the rate of 2%. The implementation of the algorithm is carried out on the example of an individual entrepreneur on a simplified taxation system, which is a single tax payer, on the basis of the Taxpayer’s Electronic Cabinet as a key software under quarantine restrictions. The mechanism of work with the specified electronic resource is visualized. The article discusses possible directions of work of tax authorities on the terms of public-private partnership under quarantine restrictions and martial law.

The Current State of the World Stock Market and the Challenges of Its Development (p. 130 - 136)
The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the global stock market and potential challenges on the future path of its development. The study of the state of the world stock market, among other things, is carried out by analytical agencies that single out individual countries to analyze the state of their national stock markets: the USA, the Eurozone, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Japan, China, Canada, and Australia. The largest in terms of proportion in the capitalization of the world market is the market of the group of North American countries (the USA and Canada), which occupies 83.13%. Currently, the global financial market is in a recession phase, which is characterized by high levels of inflation and certain specific features. Over the past decades, the global financial system has acquired additional trends that make their own adjustments to tendencies in the world stock market and create potential challenges to the development of the global securities market. Among the main challenges that affect the prospects of the global stock market, the following can be mentioned: 1) speculative challenge from the growth of the derivatives market; 2) potential challenge from the tendency of democratization of the global stock market. The democratization of the stock market is understood as an increase in the ability of individuals to gain access to capital markets, receive new information, access to investment platforms and investment products, that is, we are talking about the openness of the market and a decrease in its concentration; 3) challenges from the growth of cyber threats that can lead to manipulation of order management systems, which, in turn, leads to incorrect channels, fake orders or failure to submit along with damaging the trade surveillance systems, which will result in enabling the manipulative, illegal trade practices; 4) the negative consequence of standardization of capital raising through stock markets; 5) challenges within the post-COVID paradigm; 6) challenges from changes in the structure of investors; 7) challenges for the world stock market due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, which affected the energy and consumer sectors, as the commodity markets of oil, gas, agricultural products and fertilizers suffered, mainly having negative consequences for the markets of the continent of Eurasia and Africa. Thus, the global stock market is developing in a paradigm of uncertainty, geopolitical sharpness, significant rates of digitalization and the continuation of the boom in information technology, democratization and the post-pandemic period, which creates its own combination of challenges.

Diagnosing the Competitiveness of Ukrainian Stock Exchanges (p. 137 - 145)
The article is concerned with the formulation of recommendations for the diagnostics of competitiveness of stock exchanges in Ukraine. The main stages of the study are described, the definitions and stages of economic diagnostics are given, and the features of the diagnostics of the competitiveness of economic entities are formulated. A brief characterization of three of the four existing capital market operators (stock exchanges) selected by the authors as objects of competitiveness diagnostics is presented. Based on a detailed analysis of the public reporting of stock exchanges, annual reports of securities issuers, audit reports, regulatory provisions governing exchange activities in Ukraine, and other open information, the article substantiates the choice of indicators of competitiveness of stock exchanges and provides the ratio for their determination. Indicators of competitiveness are determined for 2020–2021 (exclusion from the list of objects for diagnosing the competitiveness of the PFTS stock exchange is due precisely to the lack of relevant information for the implementation of the necessary calculations). In order to correctly determine the competitive status of capital market operators, the normalization of the values of the selected competitiveness indicators was carried out using their minimum and maximum values (which made it possible to abandon the formation of the object of comparison with the best hypothetical characteristics and allowed to use the maximum values of indicators of stock exchanges as guidelines for their competitiveness in the most important areas of activity). The integral indicator of the competitiveness of stock exchanges is proposed to be determined as a result of averaging the normalized values of the corresponding indicators. Based on the results of the carried out diagnostics of the competitive status of stock exchanges, general recommendations for improving their competitiveness are formulated, together with the promising directions for further research in this sphere.

Peculiarities of Capitalization of the Securities Market in Ukraine (p. 145 - 151)
The purpose of the article is a theoretical and methodological substantiation together with elaboration of recommendations for increasing the capitalization of the domestic securities market. The article is concerned with studying the level of development of the securities market and the directions of increasing its capitalization, which will provide favorable conditions for the formation of an appropriate level of economic development of the country. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the concept of «capitalization» is interpreted as a complex dynamic process of forming prospects for the development of the Ukrainian economy, which varies depending on the outlined tasks. It is identified that the capitalization of the stock market testifies to the intensity of the national economy and reflects the dynamics of changes in its various industries. The development tendency of the world stock market is analyzed and the experience of world leading companies with the highest level of market capitalization is adapted. The volumes and structure of trading on operators of organized capital markets by type of market are considered and the main obstacles to the further development of the Ukrainian stock market are substantiated. The need to integrate the domestic securities market into the world stock market is accentuated. Based on the carried out correlation analysis, it is found that the closest relationship between the volume of trading in shares on the Ukrainian securities market and the aforementioned factors occurs with the total trading volume in the securities market, namely: the more transactions are carried out on the market, the higher the volume of transactions with shares. It is noted that the domestic securities market in order to improve the efficiency of further functioning requires: improvement of the legislative framework; increasing the level of motivation; minimization of financial risks; improving infrastructure development, etc. Further research will be aimed at developing promising directions for the integration of the domestic stock market into the global financial space.

Unity of Credit Risk as Creditor’s Risk and Borrower’s Risk: The Past and the Approach of Present-Day (p. 151 - 159)
The main suppliers of credit resources to the today’s market are commercial banks, which for a long time act as the main creditors of both legal entities and individuals. The formation of credit relations occurs in the external environment, which can give rise to completely new risks that the developed credit market has not previously faced. The purpose of the study is to complement the essence of credit risk and consider it not only from the standpoint of the lender, but also the borrower, as well as outline methods for managing it. The main research methods in this publication are methods of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction for a comprehensive consideration of credit risk on the part of both the borrower and the lender; some provisions of the study are supplemented by the method of economic analysis. As a result, it is determined that credit risk is not only a risk of a banking institution, but also a risk of an enterprise, institution, individual who has borrowed a certain amount of funds from a financial institution and has an obligation to repay not only the principal amount of the debt, but also interest for using the borrowed value. It is found that credit risk should be considered as a unity of two concepts: creditor’s risk and borrower’s risk. After all, the borrower as a participant in the credit agreement is significantly influenced by the external environment, which must be taken into account when obtaining a loan. It is determined that in accordance with modern political and economic conditions, a closed system of protection against credit risk should be formed, first of all at the level of the borrower, then at the State level. It has been examined that at the creditor level, banking institutions have a wide range of methods to minimize this risk, while the borrower’s protection against credit risk is just beginning to take shape. Further research in the field of credit risk management of the borrower will concern an in-depth study of the methods of its management and improvement of methods of credit risk management at the State level.

Anti-Fraud During the War (p. 160 - 166)
In consequence of the hostilities in Ukraine, business was forced to take measures to optimize business processes. This situation is not only a threat to the country's economy and business, but also creates additional opportunities for corporate fraud. The aim of the article is to study the impact of economic crimes and fraud on the development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The information base of the research is official information and scientific publications. The research was conducted using the following methods: monographic; analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction; system analysis; classification and analytical; graphic. The article stipulates that the prevention of fraud and other economic crimes is a complex task that is further complicated by the modern unstable landscape of military-economic risks. After all, organizations act quickly, trying to adapt to changes with minimal losses for business, while fraudsters are trying to use potentially growing risks. Several actions are proposed to help fill in the lacunas in the system of overcoming economic fraud, namely: preliminary formation of a potential risk management system; availability of backup technology with management, knowledge, and monitoring; availability of operational ability to enhance, sort, and respond to risks. Unfortunately, even those who have invested in anti-fraud technology have expressed concerns about its best deployment, referring to significant costs as the biggest obstacle to the introduction of preventive technologies. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the global economic space and its relentless challenges regularly create new opportunities for fraud. Unfortunately, businesses need more time to adapt to market changes than fraudsters need to take advantage of the change in a timely manner. As the average financial impact of fraud increases worldwide, the ability to respond effectively is becoming increasingly important.

Diplomatic Support of Ukraine's Foreign Public Debt (p. 197 - 203)
The purpose of the article is to substantiate the measures regarding diplomatic support of the Ukraine's foreign public debt in the conditions of a critical budget deficit. The analytical basis of the proposals are the results of the assessment of trends in the development of international flows of debt capital and the world experience of diplomatic assistance to countries in the process of overcoming their debt crisis. It has been established that the process of international movement of loan capital, in which countries are active participants regardless of the economic development level, is characterized by dynamic trends of value growth. A critical factor in the growth of public debt in Ukraine is the decrease in the value of GDP and the inability to cover the budget deficit as a result of high military and social costs. It has been proved that the minimization of risks associated with the State's dependence on international borrowing is possible under the condition of effective diplomatic support of the external debt at all stages of its formation and maintenance. Ukraine has positive results of diplomatic debt support (favorable conditions for obtaining new loans, partial restructuring of existing debt). However, in the future, under conditions of preservation of current trends, the growth of foreign debt will pose a threat to the economic security of the State. Based on the analysis of alternative options for overcoming the debt crisis, the authors substantiate the expediency of Ukraine's diplomatic request to international creditors for preferential debt restructuring; active cooperation with foreign countries regarding mediation in interaction with international financial organizations in the direction of initiating special programs of financial support for Ukraine. Diplomatic support of foreign public debt should occur simultaneously with the further integration of Ukraine into the European Union, measures to stimulate economic growth in the country, which will contribute to increasing the international investment attractiveness and credit ratings of the national economy.

Sustainable Finance as a Factor in the Transformation of Financial Relations (p. 204 - 209)
The purpose of the article is to consider the transformation of financial relations, which occurs as a result of the active development of sustainable finance. The business’ awareness of the importance of sustainable ESG financial strategies (environment, social sphere, corporate governance) is becoming increasingly significant for assessing the efficiency of the global economy, markets, industries and business models. The development of sustainable finance transforms financial relations: on the one hand, enterprises are obliged to adhere to certain social and environmental standards, but on the other hand, enterprises themselves revise their strategy and improve it to become more sustainable and competitive. Sustainable finance provides a more transparent market, which forces enterprises to take into account the social and environmental aspects of their activities, as this affects the availability of «green» financing, including through government subsidies and tax rebates. To increase the scale of the sustainable finance market, governments and international organizations develop regulatory policies and provide financial support to businesses through a variety of programs and initiatives. The expediency of developing strategies and programs aimed at attracting international and national sustainable investments to support post-war economic recovery in Ukraine at different levels (international, national, regional, local) has been determined. Institutionalizing the sustainable finance market and increasing demand for personalized sustainable product portfolios will increase the profitability of sustainable projects, which will be beneficial for international business in the long term in view of sustainability and competitiveness. The interest of international business to various fintech projects with ESG capabilities will grow. At the same time, it is important not to overregulate the industry, as many international companies wishing to switch to sustainable financing simply will not be able to achieve global or European standards.

Peculiarities of Financial Relations of the Territorial Communities in Ukraine (p. 210 - 216)
Financial provision is one of the important elements of community resource provision. There is quite a number of bases of financial resources that territorial communities can take from, therefore, for their effective use, it is advisable to classify them, establish the appropriate features, and the possibilities of use them rationally. Currently, it is important for communities to be able to form the necessary amount of financial resources that will allow them to be financially capable. Also important is the legally defined powers of communities within which they carry out their activities and use accumulated funds. The publication analyzes the peculiarities of the formation of financial relations in territorial communities of Ukraine. The corresponding shortcomings in shaping the financial capacity of communities are singled out. The sources of filling the community budget are analyzed. It is found that today the majority of territorial communities need to provide appropriate investment financing of their projects for their sustainable development. Sources of filling financial resources of territorial communities are identified. It is proved that the main financial source of the territorial budgets is the activities of small and medium-sized businesses located in communities. It is determined that for the effective implementation of measures for the socioeconomic development of communities, the principle of their autonomy in matters of budget and tax activities should be implemented. The main directions of influence of financial decentralization on the socioeconomic development of the regions is formed. Based on the identified directions of development of territorial communities, the importance of public participation in decision-making on the implementation of projects on sustainable development of communities is determined.

The Prospects for the Use of Bank Electronic Means of Payment (p. 216 - 222)
The article explores the current trends in the development of the market of electronic payment systems, which involves the active use of innovative means of payment and strengthens the importance of non-cash payments for electronic customer service. It is substantiated that payment systems, forming an infrastructure of non-cash cash turnover, must meet the objectives of the country’s monetary policy as to targeting inflation, accelerating money circulation, maintaining liquidity, and sovereignizing national payment turnover. It is noted that the material embodiment of electronic technologies is obtained in specific payment instruments that allow carrying out settlement transactions in real time and become integral elements of the payment system. It is shown that under the influence of electronic technologies the banking business acquires new features: first, the share of traditional banking operations is reduced simultaneously with the increase in new settlement services; secondly, banking products and services based on modern information and communication technologies are constantly being improved; thirdly, the banking sector is increasingly acquiring the features of a knowledge-intensive industry, with cardinal technological changes in the process of building of payment systems. The authors call attention to that most of the reforms of national payment systems, already implemented or in the process of implementation, in order to modernize them, focus on improving payment systems mainly for large sums, although in a significant number of regions retail cash payments are still quite active. The need to increase attention from the part of the State in the person of the financial regulator to the development of the retail segment of the national payment system is emphasized.

Features of Accounting for Settlements with Virtual Assets (Cryptocurrency) in the Field of e-Commerce: The International and Domestic Experience (p. 222 - 228)
Over the past few years, the term «cryptocurrency» has firmly entered the public consciousness. Virtual assets are gaining popularity because of their main advantages: availability, anonymity, the ability to make quick money, etc. Cryptocurrency is a code in a large book called «blockchain». Owing to the fact that the technology of «blockchain» is inherently similar to an accounting book, the world’s leading scientists are studying the issue of its implementation in the accounting system. This would allow to record each transaction automatically, reduce the cost and increase the speed of transactions. The article discusses the issue of accounting for settlements in the field of e-commerce using speculative assets. The regulatory framework for taxation of transactions with cryptocurrencies in Ukraine is analyzed. Several approaches to accounting for transactions with risky assets in Ukraine are proposed. The results of the study provide a detailed assessment of the situation in the international trade market and the state of development of settlements using cryptocurrencies, highlights the problematic aspects of normative regulation and accounting for transactions with risky assets in Ukraine and over the world. The field of e-commerce includes all transactions carried out via the Internet. This is indeed doing business online, i. e., by means of websites, social networks or mobile applications. The introduction of a method of making payments with cryptocurrency will greatly simplify the processing of transactions. This payment in digital currency is delivered anywhere in the world, regardless of the place of departure without intermediaries. At this, the cost of the transaction, or the payment fee, is much lower than with a regular bank transfer. The cryptocurrency market is currently quite volatile, classifying transactions with digital assets as «high-risk». The introduction of cryptocurrencies as a full-fledged means of payment is impossible without market regulation by financial institutions. Until that happens, commodity prices in cryptocurrency can fluctuate up to 25% compared to the previous day. Trading under such price conditions is impossible. However, a type of cryptocurrency such as «stablecoins» is protected from market fluctuations, since their pricing principle is based on the exchange rate of the real currency. For example, the USDT stablecoin is pegged to the US dollar, so its value changes along with the value of the real currency. In this case, an electronic currency such as USDT can be considered a means of payment and used in e-commerce.

Transformation of Payment Systems in the Digital Economy (p. 103 - 107)
The article examines the evolutionary development of payment systems, which takes place in the unity of technological and organizational modernization through the innovatization of payment instruments. It is substantiated that one of the fundamental factors for the stable development of the State’s economy is the availability of an efficient and smoothly functioning modern national payment system that allows real-time payments in accordance with generally accepted standards. It is specified that payment systems ensure uninterrupted circulation of money flows of the State, the commercial and non-commercial sectors, and individuals. Under the influence of scientific and technological progress, the payment market is being digitalized, and new non-financial participants are being involved in the standard processes of providing payment services. It is shown that the functional significance of payment systems in the development of the digital economy is that they are the most convenient and universal financial intermediaries that create a digital culture and instill digital skills, rules and traditions that represent the core of the digital environment. Practice shows that payment systems are characterized by a rapid response to changing demands in servicing economic relations, the speed of diffusion of scientific and technological progress, and a high degree of adaptability to the risk environment, which is manifested in accelerating the penetration of financial innovations and their spread between system elements. It is underlined that the payment system in a broad sense is a universal financial category that unites a totality of financial institutions that carry out systemic activities in the field of monetary circulation of the economy and its individual sectors to ensure sustainable macroeconomic development and socioeconomic efficiency of functioning of its subjects.

Development of Digital Innovations in the Credit Services Market of Ukraine (p. 108 - 114)
Digital technologies nowadays play a key role in the development of the entire financial system of the country. The consequences of such influence are especially noticeable in the sphere of functioning of banking and non-banking institutions. These financial intermediaries are precisely the ones who today actively attract, create and use information and communication innovations in their own activities, allowing them to improve the quality of services provided to their clients and ensure the growth of the efficiency of their own activities. The article analyzes the role of modern innovations, primarily in the sphere of digitalization of financial relations, in the development of the market of credit services of Ukraine. The main attention is focused on deepening the theoretical provisions of the functioning of such a market in the new conditions – with the active development of information and communication technologies. Thus, the question of the role of information innovations in the processes of transformation of the credit services market is considered. Also, significant attention is paid to the issues of separation and specification of the role of individual credit innovations in the development of relations between credit institutions and their customers. In the article, such innovations primarily include p2p lending, remote servicing and functioning of neobanks; the essence of these new directions of development of the credit services market is considered and the peculiarities of their use by credit entities are described. It is determined that digital technologies already play a key role in the development of relations between lenders and borrowers in Ukraine. The results of the carried out analysis confirm the assumption that such technologies will be actively used by banking and non-banking institutions in the future. At this, it can definitely be argued that the level of application of information and communication technologies by these institutions will only grow in the future, taking into account new promising directions of their application in the sphere of financial services.

Elaborating the Strategies for Development of System Important Banks of Ukraine under the Influence of External Environment Factors (p. 115 - 123)
The aim of the study is a theoretical and methodological generalization of the process of strategic management and determination, through strategic planning, of ways of development of system important banks of Ukraine under conditions of uncertainty of their functioning environment. As a result of the study of foreign and domestic experience, the theoretical and methodological concept of strategic planning of the banking system is formulated. The authors analyze the goals, missions and visions of the strategies of system important banks, assess the state of development of system important banks in Ukraine in the current conditions and identify the key areas of strategic planning. It is found that system important banks of Ukraine occupy a predominant share in the structure of both certain types of banking income and financial performance. In addition, it is determined that strategic planning should be based on the reliability and completeness of economic indicators and non-financial indicators. In particular, the indicators of the bank’s share in the activity among banking structures are important for characterizing its competitive position and the level of efficiency of its strategy among competitors. It is researched that system important banks are predominant in the banking services market, and their network of branches is widely distributed. The strategic development of these banks should be aimed at the possibility of retaining this share of the banking services market. The authors improve the theoretical and methodological approach to the strategic planning process in a bank on the principles of introducing an inclusive component of further development, which will provide for a sustainable accelerated growth of the country’s economic power on the basis of financial inclusion, a radical increase in the welfare of individual members of society and society as a whole. It is specified that such approaches to organizing the formation of strategies of system important banks will also ensure sociopolitical stability and form an appropriate level of national security.

The Formation of Debt Capital by Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 123 - 129)
The article is aimed at studying the bank lending and bond issuance as a means of attracting debt capital in Ukraine. The mechanisms of attracting capital through banks and the debt capital market are considered; the main advantages and disadvantages of their use are outlined; the key criteria for choosing a source of financing and forming debt capital are determined. The volumes of attraction of bank loans by economic enterprises and volumes of issuance of corporate bonds by enterprises for the last five years are estimated. The purpose of the article is to study the use of bank loans and bond issuance by enterprises in the current realities with the definition of their disadvantages and advantages. On the basis of the research, it was found that the economic and social situation in the country affected the attraction of debt capital by enterprises. It is determined that the volume of attracting bank loans remained at the level of previous years, while the bond issuance decreased to critically low values. An analysis of statistical data from the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine revealed an increase in the share of non-performing loans in 2022, which is one of many negative trends in the debt capital market in Ukraine and a consequence of the ongoing large-scale invasion by the russian federation, which has begun on February 24, 2022. The results of the carried out study may be useful for: clarifying the role of bank lending and bond issuance as sources of attracting long-term debt capital; characterizing the situation in the domestic financial market; identification of ways to increase the efficiency of the process of attracting debt capital by domestic enterprises. The article specifies that enterprises will now prefer bank lending to meet their borrowing needs, as this source is more affordable and guarantees the receipt of capital in the required volumes, while the issuance of corporate bonds remains a promising alternative.

Analyzing the Approaches to Assessing the Sustainability of the Ukrainian Banking System (p. 130 - 144)
Ensuring the sustainability of the banking system is one of the key tasks of economic policy of countries, regardless of their level of economic development. The purpose of the article is to define and analyze existing approaches to assessing the financial sustainability of the banking system of Ukraine. When considering the essence of the terms «stability» and «sustainability», it is determined that they are closely related, but have certain nuances that need to be taken into account in the context of the financial condition of the banking system. The scientific literature uses different terms to describe the state of the system, its structure and processes, which differ from the approach to defining these terms in the context of the financial sector. A study of the factors affecting the financial sustainability of the banking system has shown that they can be divided into the external and internal factors. The external factors include economic, legal, political, competitive trends, technology, and automation. The internal factors include economic, organizational and technological aspects, as well as the quality of management. It is noted that various factors are interrelated and have a multidirectional impact on the indicators of financial sustainability of the banking system. It is defined that currently there are many methods for assessing the banking system and individual banks, which differ in various parameters and indicators. The author identifies several main approaches to assessing the sustainability of banking systems in the world countries, including stress testing of the banking sector, analysis of indicators of financial sustainability of banks, assessment of the system of regulation and supervision, assessment of the level of financial stability of banks, and risks. These approaches can be used to analyze and monitor the financial sustainability of the banking system both separately and in complex combination. There are also various complex indicators and indices, such as the Financial Condition Index (FCI) and the Financial Stress Index (FSI), which are used to reflect the financial stability of countries of the world. The Financial Stress Index (FSI), developed by the National Bank of Ukraine in 2017, which consists of four sub-indices and sets the weight of each sub-index according to the volume of each market, is also examined. The author proposes general directions for improving the financial stability of the Ukrainian banking system in terms of wartime, including strengthening regulatory policy, improving financial literacy of citizens, and developing digital payment infrastructure. The carried out study contributes to the understanding of the factors that affect the financial sustainability of the banking system of Ukraine and should be taken into account when developing strategies to ensure such stability in the future.

The Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Risk Analysis in Insurance and Reinsurance (p. 142 - 149)
The article is aimed at further development of theoretical and methodological approaches to risk reinsurance in order to provide financial sustainability of an insurance company. An approach to risk analysis in insurance and reinsurance is proposed. The introduction of the concepts of complete and partial uncertainty and their relationship with the concept of risk made it possible to closer define the concept of risk and formulate it in the form of a financial and economic category. The term «risk» is proposed to be understood as a subjective estimation of an objective uncertainty, which describes the multiplicity of changes in the equilibrium stability of a socioeconomic system and is expressed in the form of a function of a random event. A somewhat closer defined concept of insurance risk is also proposed, which means a significant risk in its consequences for citizens and business entities, which can be assessed from the standpoint of the probability of occurrence of an insured event, quantitative amounts of possible damage and has signs of frequency and limitation in space and time. It is noted that clarification of the criteria of insurance risk in the general classification system of risks of an insurance organization allows assessing the need for reinsurance depending on the types of risk distribution. Analysis of features and dynamics of insurance risk, computation of insurance tariffs allows to substantiating the need for reinsurance for each type of insurance risk. It is proposed, to develop a model for analyzing the insurer’s reinsurance activity on the basis of the theory of decision-making under conditions of complete and partial uncertainty, to use the criteria of game theory: Wald criterion, Swidge criterion, Hurwitz criterion. To analyze the real financial sustainability, it is proposed to introduce adjustments to the existing methodological approaches, adding the objects transferred to reinsurance and the risk ratios present in the insurer’s activities; it is further proposed to take into account the impact of forms and types of reinsurance contracts on the financial sustainability of the company. The proposed theoretical and methodological provisions and conclusions can be used when accepting risks on the responsibility of the insurer and their subsequent redistribution.

Effective Regulation of the Financial Sector in the Conditions of Transformation: A Hybrid Vertical Model (p. 159 - 166)
The financial sector is a critical component of the modern economy, but it is also subject to a variety of risks and challenges that can threaten its stability and sustainability. Politicians and regulators have developed different principles and methods of regulating the financial sector, but the effectiveness of these methods remains a matter of debate. The article is aimed at identifying problems and opportunities to ensure an effective and integrated approach to regulating the financial sector. The article analyzes the evolution of regulation of the financial sector during the period of transformation, explores four levels of regulation of the financial sector, including self-, micro-, meso-, and macro-prudential regulation. A comparative analysis of the main roles, tasks, characteristic risks, as well as interdependence and interrelations between bodies and institutions of prudential regulation is carried out. Based on the analysis of the existing methodology, a new hybrid vertical model of regulation has been proposed, which aims to provide a more efficient and integrated approach to regulating the financial sector. This hybrid model combines the strengths of macro- and meso-prudential regulation to provide a more targeted and accurate approach to risk management in the financial sector. The carried out analysis shows that while each level of regulation has its strengths and limitations, a hybrid approach that combines different levels of regulation can provide a more effective and comprehensive approach to regulating the financial sector. The hybrid vertical model of macro- and mesoregulation proposed by the authors can contribute to further research, discussion and development of financial sector regulation.

The Banking Sector in the Space of Influence of the VUCA Environment on Stability (p. 167 - 175)
The article is aimed at studying the peculiarities of maintaining financial stability of the banking sector under the influence of destructive factors of the VUCA environment. The analysis of publications allowed us to identify the essence of the concept of the VUCA environment and systematize its main components. It is substantiated that the VUCA environment causes a cumulative process as a source and material carrier of economic development, responsible for its undulating nature. As a result of the study, it was proved that the VUCA environment is characterized by chaotic changes that are not associated with economic cycles. At this, the latter are able to accelerate as a result of the impact of digital technologies and the VUCA environment on GDP. It is revealed that the use of digital technologies ensures the timeliness of information, helps to identify new problems in terms of risk and control, improves understanding of what may go wrong, sharpens foresight regarding the appropriate response strategy. The article systematizes the views of the main economic schools on the factors of financial instability. It is proposed to consider the factors of instability of the banking sector and systemic risks through the prism of VUCA in order to assess the capabilities of banks to withstand systemic risks. The essence banking risks is determined and the structure of these risks is systematized in the form of a matrix on the basis of taking into account the features of quantitative or qualitative assessment and sources of their production. The systemic risks in the composition of external financial risks as the most dangerous for the functioning of the banking sector have been allocated. Prospects for further research in this direction are to identify the peculiarities of ensuring financial stability of the banking sector under the influence of digital transformations on this process.

Financial Sustainability of Bank: The Essence and Assessment of Factors of Influence (p. 175 - 181)
The article is concerned with analyzing theoretical approaches to the essence of the concept of «financial sustainability of bank» and developing practical recommendations for structuring the main factors influencing the financial sustainability of a bank. It is specified that the financial sustainability of the banking system is directly related to the sustainability of each individual bank that constitutes a part of it. It is noted that a significant negative impact on the banking system of our country at the present stage is exerted through events of the ongoing war, inflation, reduction of production, and a decrease in investment activity. Based on the analysis and generalization of existing approaches to determining the essence of the concept of «financial sustainability of bank» using content analysis, the main components of financial sustainability of a bank have been identified, namely: ensuring risk coverage; the bank’s ability to counteract negative external and internal factors; efficiency of use of assets and financial resources; ensuring liquidity, solvency and profitability of the bank. The main factors influencing the financial sustainability of a bank are analyzed. Using system analysis, the article offers a structural model of the hierarchy of factors influencing the financial sustainability of the bank. The results of structuring the factors influencing the financial sustainability of the bank help to choose the right sequence of actions and allow to identify priority problems that require first-order solutions when making managerial decisions on the development and implementation of the bank’s development program.

The Essence and Determinants of the Formation of the Value of Insurance Company (p. 181 - 186)
The article is aimed at further study of the theory of value in terms of determining the essence of the value of an insurance company and allocating the determinants of its formation. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the works of many scholars, approaches to the interpretation of the value of the company, in particular the insurer, were considered and the author’s definition was proposed. The value of an insurance company is the monetary equivalent of the utility that the company creates for all stakeholders in the process of carrying out its operational, investment and financial activities, and also the value of tangible and intangible assets that it owns. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the dominant factor in the formation of the value of an insurance company is that in the process of functioning of the company conditions are created for increasing its value. Satisfying the economic needs of policyholders, the insurer receives cash receipts, forms insurance and investment portfolios and increases its own capitalization. The necessity to consider the value of an insurance company simultaneously from the standpoint of two forms of its manifestation: the value of the integral property complex and the value of the insurance business is substantiated. The proposed approach will provide an opportunity to see a holistic picture of economic relations that develop in the process of formation, evaluation and value management of the insurer. The features of the insurance company as a commodity in the market of purchase and sale are determined. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of practical recommendations for the development and implementation of a value-oriented management system in the near future for the recovery of the insurance business, rethinking the philosophy of its functioning and providing insurance protection to the population and economic entities.

Formation of Local Budgets Revenues Under Fiscal Decentralization (p. 187 - 195)
The article is aimed at defining the peculiarities of formation of revenues of local budgets of Ukraine under current conditions and providing proposals for further increase of financial capacity of local self-government bodies. The article highlights the methodology for calculating the tax autonomy of local self-government bodies, focuses on the need to strengthen the financial potential of territorial communities. The structure of the revenue side of local budgets of Ukraine during 2013–2022 is studied. It is found that under the conditions of decentralization, the highest share in the structure of local budget revenues belongs to tax revenues, their share has increased from 33.36% in 2015 to more than 60% in 2020–2022. In connection with the reform of the model of the State financial support for the healthcare sector, the medical subvention, which was credited to local budget revenues, was repealed. The implementation of this affected the reduction of the fiscal importance of inter-budgetary transfers – their share in local budget revenues decreased by more than 10 percentage points. Personal income tax revenues are characterized by the largest fiscal effect among tax revenues. The full-scale military invasion in Ukraine in 2022 led to a significant increase in the number of military personnel, which, together with an increase in the level of their monetary support, affected a significant increase in personal income tax revenues. Local taxes and fees are a certain indicator of fiscal autonomy of local self-government bodies, and given the above, it is important to realize their fiscal potential. The average value of the share of local taxes and fees in local budget revenues of Ukraine during 2013–2022 comes to 22.70%, and there is a tendency to increase the values of this indicator. The article substantiates proposals to increase the fiscal significance of property tax. In particular, this concerns the filling of the State register of real rights to real estate and the State land cadaster; timely and regular normative monetary valuation of land; transfer of certain functional powers regarding the administration of property tax (formation and sending of tax notices on tax payments; introduction of payment accounting) to local self-government bodies; improvement of institutional mechanisms of interaction between local institutions and tax authorities.

The Essence and Structural Elements of the Financial Potential of a Trade Enterprise (p. 196 - 203)
The article is aimed at deepening and improving the theoretical foundations of forming the financial potential of a trade enterprise in terms of improving the conceptual and categorical apparatus. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars, various interpretations of the concept of «financial potential» are considered, the views of researchers on the definition of structural elements of financial potential are systematized. Within the framework of the study, general scientific and special methods were used, in particular: methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction – to determine the essence and characteristics of the financial potential of trade enterprises; structural and logical analysis, dialectical method, method of generalization – to systematize the structural elements of the financial potential of a trade enterprise. The article examines the essence and content of the concept of «financial potential of enterprise». The concept of «financial potential of trade enterprise» is formulated, structural components of financial potential of trade enterprise are studied and generalized on the basis of resource concept of firm and stakeholder approach. A detailed analysis of the structural elements of the financial potential of a trade enterprise is carried out in accordance with different approaches and the content of its individual elements is disclosed. As a result of the study, it is determined that simply the availability of financial resources is not a financial potential, but only one of its components. Financial potential covers not only financial resources, but also the possibilities of their use and management. As a result of the study, it is proposed to determine the financial potential of trade enterprise as an interrelated aggregate of financial resources, reserves, opportunities for their attraction and use, which is determined by the level of knowledge and competencies of organizationally united financial managers, which, in turn, creates financial support for the promotion of goods to consumers in order to create value for all stakeholders in accordance with the strategic goals of the trading enterprise.

A Methodical Instrumentarium for Analyzing the Financial Sustainability of Enterprise (p. 203 - 208)
The article considers the issue of role of analysis of financial sustainability of enterprise in ensuring its current activity. The article is aimed at generalizing the methodical instruments of financial analysis of enterprise sustainability. The calculation of indicators will enable business executives to determine the degree of dependence of the enterprise on creditors and investors, as well as the level of its financial situation. The article generalizes the theoretical provisions on application of different approaches/methods of analysis/assessment of financial sustainability of organization. It is found that three basic approaches can be used to analyze financial sustainability: traditional, resource, and resource management. Methods involve the calculation of absolute indicators and coefficients. Absolute indicators allow you to determine the type of financial sustainability in terms of opportunities for financing stocks and assets of an enterprise through various sources. Depending on the availability of sources of funding, the following types of financial sustainability can be distinguished: absolute financial sustainability; normal financial sustainability; unstable financial position; crisis financial condition. Coefficients are a useful instrument for summarizing a huge amount of information and are convenient for making intra-company comparisons. The coefficients used in the analysis of financial sustainability are related to: capital structure, financial risk of loss of independence, and growth rate. The coefficient analysis of financial sustainability involves the calculation of a system of indicators, the main of which are the following: concentration coefficient of equity (indicates the financial independence of the enterprise from external creditors); debt concentration coefficient (indicates the dependence of the enterprise on loan capital); financial sustainability coefficient (shows the share of stable liabilities of the enterprise, that is, the share of equity, non-current assets and long-term liabilities in total assets); financial leverage coefficient (shows the dominant type of capital in the total capital of the enterprise). Indicators have normative values. Their calculation is identical both in domestic and in international theory and practice. The calculation of financial leverage involves the use of two conceptions: the European and the American. According to the European conception, financial leverage shows how many percent can increase the return on equity due to debt as a source of investment. According to the American conception, financial leverage is calculated as the coefficient between the growth rate of net profit and the growth rate of operating profit.

The Tax Policy Dominants in the European Union Member States (p. 147 - 156)
The article is aimed at systematizing the experience of formation and implementation of tax policy in the European Union Member States, defining the main dominants of this policy. The article analyzes the level of tax burden (the tax-to-GDP ratio) for the EU-27 countries for the period of 1995–2021 and determines that the average value of the indicator in the mentioned sample is 40.48%. The relationship between the tax burden and economic growth rates is examined. Although it is believed that the level of taxation is one of the main reasons for the existence of the shadow economy, the study proves that in countries where the level of tax burden is one of the lowest (Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia), the shadow economy is twice as high as in Sweden, where the level of taxation is higher by more than 15% of GDP. In 27 of the EU countries, labor taxes occupy the highest share in the tax structure. The lowest level of labor taxation is present in Bulgaria and Romania – 10.0%, while in nine another EU countries the marginal rate of personal income tax exceeds 50%. Consumption taxes are the second most fiscally important component of tax revenues in the EU countries. There is a tendency to increase the standard VAT rate in the EU countries. In the European Union, a regime of reduced VAT rates is applied, aimed at reducing the tax burden, stimulating consumption and business activity, which is of great social significance. It is determined that in the EU when administering VAT, the issues of using digital products and technologies are of great importance. This allows to increase the fiscal efficiency of the tax by improving the quality of tax control, which is based on the risk-oriented approach. The EU has unified the rules for calculating and paying excise duty in the terms of excisable goods, as well as the procedure and conditions for their storage, movement, control over the production and circulation of excisable products. It is noted that the tax climate, together with the fundamental institutional foundations for economic development, are guidelines for entrepreneurs regarding the possibilities of opening or scaling a business. That is why recently there has been a further reduction in corporate tax rates – by an average of 9 percentage points. Ensuring fairness of taxation and criteria for equality of the tax system are among the important benchmarks of the EU fiscal policy. Property taxes are important in the tax systems of the EU member States. These taxes are the basis for filling local budgets with their own revenues, the relevant revenues are quite stable and predictable. It is concluded that, in general, the tax policy of the EU Member States is constantly adapting to socioeconomic conditions, which is manifested in changes in the parameters of rates, base, provision of targeted benefits, etc. This together is aimed at creating incentives for economic growth and ensuring social justice.

The Essence and Significance of Tax Instruments in Ensuring the Recovery of the Economy of Ukraine (p. 157 - 163)
The article is aimed at revealing the essence and significance of tax instruments for implementing the budget policy to ensure the recovery of Ukraine’s economy, also at developing recommendations for improving the efficiency of their use. The article generalizes the theoretical foundations of formation and implementation of budget policy; shortcomings and problems that impede the effective functioning of the tax system are identified; an assessment of the efficiency of the use of various tax instruments that can affect the success of implementation of the budget policy is provided; the directions of improvement of tax instruments of budgetary policy to ensure the recovery of the economy of Ukraine are substantiated. It is proved that in modern conditions the discrepancy between the tax system and the state of the economy becomes a chronic problem that has a negative impact on the balanced budget and macro-financial stability of the country. The tax system is one of the key instruments of the State regulation of the economy, as it defines the rules and mechanisms for collecting taxes, their distribution, use to ensure financing of the State functions as such, and achievement of the goals of socioeconomic development. It is substantiated that owing to changes in economic and social conditions, the tax system may lose its efficiency and adaptability to new challenges. There is a situation when legislation becomes outdated, complex and unable to take into account the current realities of the economy. Also, due to the full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine, the volume of the budget deficit has rapidly increased and a recession in the economy takes place. To overcome these problems, the government needs to develop ways to improve fiscal policy by modernizing tax instruments and assessing their effectiveness and their focus on achieving long-term priorities. Prospect for further research in this direction is to determine the optimal structure of tax revenues to budgets of all levels, taking into account the peculiarities of post-war economic development and assess the impact of using tax instruments on stimulating economic recovery in Ukraine.

Assessing the Interbank Loans Market of the Systemically Important Banks in Ukraine (p. 164 - 171)
The aim of the study is to assess the state of interbank lending to the systemically important banks in Ukraine, taking into account the current conditions of functioning of the economy. The article analyzes the dynamics of the number of banking institutions for 2008–2023, identifies the causes and consequences of their significant reduction. The essence and significance of systemically important banks are determined; approaches and principles of granting banking institutions the status of systemically important (SIB) are described; special conditions for withdrawal of SIB from the market under martial law have been allocated. A comprehensive analysis of the state of interbank lending to systemically important banks in Ukraine during 2019–2022 was carried out, in particular, the total amount of interbank loans received, the activity of the SIBs to attract interbank loans (IBCs) by their share in the total amount of liabilities, by the share of IBC in the balance sheet currency and the ratio of IBC to equity during the analyzed period were examined. The results of the carried out study indicate that it is interbank loans that are characterized by a quick reaction to changes in financial market conditions. It has been determined that systemically important banks of Ukraine reduce their dependence on interbank financing, which in practice means their financial stability and strength. It is proved that the studied banks, when forming the resource base, try to avoid a high share of interbank loans both in the total amount of mobilized funds and in comparison with equity, since IBCs are the most expensive instruments for replenishing the resource base of commercial banks. Emphasis is placed on important achievements of the systemic reform of the banking sector, which led to the cleansing of the domestic market from weak and unreliable banks and the construction of a Western-style banking system in Ukraine in compliance with world standards of banking business. Thanks to proper regulation and control on the part of the NBU over the observance by commercial banks of the established norms and rules of conducting banking business, the domestic banking system steadfastly endures all modern challenges and even in conditions of a full-scale war proves its financial stability and reliability, maintaining customer trust and recognition of international partners.

The Risk-Based Approach to the Banks’ Financial Flows Management: Global Practice and Experience of Ukraine (p. 171 - 178)
The article highlights the world practice and experience of Ukraine in managing financial flows of the bank taking into account the risk-based approach. It is proved that the experience of Ukraine, which is applied in practice in the management of financial flows of the bank, taking into account the risk-based approach, meets the requirements of the international standards of the group for the development of financial measures to counter money laundering and terrorist financing (FATF), Basel principles of effective banking supervision, directives and regulations of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union in the field of prevention and counteraction to legalization of criminal proceeds/terrorist financing. A comparative analysis of FATF recommendations on risk management and risk management models in Ukraine (single-tier and two-tier) is carried out and the efficiency of their use is proved. An analysis of current measures of the National Bank of Ukraine in the field of prevention and counteraction to legalization of criminal proceeds/terrorist financing is carried out, taking into account the characteristics of the measures taken in the first quarter of 2023. It is proved that the risk-based approach, which is specified in the current legislation of Ukraine, covers all necessary directions – from entities that have an increased level of risk to entities with a reduced level of risk – in order to minimize these risks in the process of economic activity, but this is not always reflected in the practice of domestic economic entities. Based on the results of the assessment, it was concluded that further developments should focus on even more intensive interaction of Ukrainian legislation and best international practices in the field of prevention and counteraction to legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime, terrorist financing, also financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Crisis Management as a Counteraction to Bankruptcy: The Experience of Ukrainian Microcrediting Enterprises (p. 179 - 183)
The proposed scientific article is devoted to the topical issue of the need for crisis management in the microcrediting market. The article considers the crisis (resulting from the full-scale invasion) as a factor influencing the smooth functioning of the company. The importance and relevance of crisis management of the company in conditions of uncertainty during the wartime is emphasized. Analyzing and summarizing scientific works of domestic and foreign scholars, it was proposed to study crisis management through the prism of the stages of crisis development, i. e.: crisis prevention, crisis management, overcoming the consequences of the crisis. Each of the stages requires a number of necessary measures that should be applied by the company for effective crisis management. Among the main ones of these measures are: early diagnosis of the crisis; rapid response to crises; implementation of preventive measures; creation of an anti-crisis program; implementation of post-crisis strategies. The article analyzes crisis management during the wartime on the example of a representative of the microcrediting market – LLC «MoneyVEO Quick Financial Assistance». The major anti-crisis measures of the company include: improvement of IT infrastructure; setting up automated and well-coordinated work of top management; attraction of external financial resources; compliance with legal requirements; cost reduction; improvement of the system for assessing the creditworthiness of counter-parties. An analysis of the main financial indicators of the company was carried out, on the basis of which a conclusion was made about the effectiveness of crisis management during the wartime. The probability of bankruptcy remains high, but there are opportunities to bypass it and bring the company out of the crisis. Prospects for further research in this direction are the need to apply preventive crisis management instruments and improve the mechanism of strategic crisis management.

The Use of Machine Learning for the Purpose of Combating Bank Fraud (p. 140 - 145)
Machine learning is a specific field of artificial intelligence that allows an information system to learn and improve itself autonomously using neural networks and deep learning, without the need for explicit programming, by ingesting large amounts of data. With the deepening of banking activity at the global level in cyberspace, the problems of a different kind, which are considered bank frauds, have become substantially more acute. Combating them required the examination of a gigantic volume of information, which as a task can only be achieved with artificial intelligence solutions, including the use of automatic learning technologies. Systems based on automatic learning are capable not only of analyzing the available information, but also of making certain predictions and self-learning conclusions, which allows not only the detection of existing forms of bank fraud, but to a certain extent to prevent it by detecting anomalies in customer behavior. At the moment, the global information industry has developed different forms of automatic learning, which can be adapted to the detection of fraud in different forms of banking activity. The development, implementation and further development of banking information systems based on automatic learning requires the completion of certain stages and the observance of mandatory rules.

Inflation in the System of Socioeconomic Relations (p. 146 - 150)
The article examines the essential features, deep causes and main forms of inflation as a multifactorial phenomenon that inevitably accompanies the economic development of almost all countries of the world. It is shown that the sources and consequences of inflation are not only of a monetary nature, but rather are deeply rooted in structural problems and affect directly and indirectly the totality of social relations. It is noted that the nature of inflation is rooted in the social conflict regarding the distribution of the social product between different social groups of the society. It is justified that inflation itself is complex and heterogeneous in its causes of origin, general features of the inflationary process, its mechanism of action, and consequences. It is argued that inflation is a monetary phenomenon, as it is caused by an excess of money in circulation. However, it should be noted that non-monetary factors can also be the cause of inflation. Regardless of the area in which inflation originates – monetary or non-monetary – monetary and non-monetary factors are interdependent, as they interact in a reproductive process. It is emphasized that one of the driving forces of the inflationary mechanism is the unevenness of price increases, as a result of which some economic subjects are interested in the existence of inflation. It is found that the nature of the national economy and the market has a significant impact on the inflationary process. The dominance of monopolistic structures of the economy, the majority of imperfect competition in the markets is a favorable environment in which inflationary tendencies are quite easily picked up and become strengthened. It is identified that inflationary processes of the national economy can also arise as a result of international exchange, through the price mechanism of foreign trade, when the increase in the price of imported resources creates an impulse for inflationary costs within the country.

Fiscal Patriotism of Billionaires as Social Solidarity (p. 211 - 216)
Taxation of the rich and wealth are among the hot topics of public interest. Using specific examples, the article highlights the latest initiative of a group of American multimillionaires to increase the level of tax rates for this super-rich category of taxpayers. Such an initiative can be considered a solidarity tax. Accordingly, the task was set to characterize the quantitative indicators of this initiative. The article is motivated by the striking fact that 400 American multi-billionaires possess a combined wealth worth 4.000 billion U. S. dollars! The role of the method of studying the problem was performed by the analysis of quantitative parameters and fiscal and administrative features of taxation of the rich. First of all, the results of the study consist in the interpretation of the multi-component concept of wealth as an object of taxation. The impossibility of a general income and property tax has been disclosed, such a tax exists only as an unrealized project. The fiscal and administrative reasons for the refusal of inheritance tax in 21 countries, including Austria, Canada, Sweden and Israel, are clarified. The arguments that property taxes harm the processes of creation of wealth and capital are presented, in connection with which in the United States the share of property taxes in the total amount of tax revenues has decreased from 42% to 14% compared to the beginning of the twentieth century. The most significant fiscal potential for strengthening taxation of the rich is found in taxes on income and profits. A quantitative and institutional analysis of existing wealth taxes in Norway and Switzerland is carried out.

The European Integration Imperatives for Bank Resolution in Ukraine (p. 217 - 228)
The aim of the article is to study the economic essence and ways to settle the insolvency of banks in the context of European regulatory imperatives. Not all banks are capable of stable functioning under conditions of economic imbalances, crises and uncertainty, which leads to the withdrawal of banks from the market. The European vector of Ukraine’s development requires the implementation of European rules for resolving bank insolvency in order to reduce the negative consequences of their possible bankruptcy. Attention is focused on the understanding of an insolvent bank as financially unstable. The manifestations of insolvency are defined and it is proposed to distinguish between full and technical (technical default) insolvency of banks. Practical examples of such interpretation are provided, in particular, JSC «JSCB «Arkada» – as an example of a complete default and JSC «Bank Sich» – as an example of a technical default on the realized market risk. The article discloses the essence, factors and signs of insolvency, which are constantly evolving. It is noted that, in fact, insolvency is manifested in the square formed of four concepts – incapacity, non-fulfillment, non-payment, and insolvency. The content of insolvency settlement is disclosed, which provides for the adoption of appropriate measures aimed at preventing and/or overcoming the consequences of the bank’s inability to perform (partially or completely) its functional duties in case of any type of insolvency. Certain stages of bank insolvency and measures of influence have been allocated. In accordance with the European BRRD Directive, the goals and principles of insolvency settlement have been formulated. The objectives must be balanced according to the nature and circumstances of each case, and they also influence the choice of method and tools of settlement. The need to harmonize domestic legislation with European rules is noted. In particular, the BRRD recommends the following settlement tools: asset separation tool, bail-in tool, sale of business tool, bridge institution tool. The article discloses the directions of their implementation in domestic practice.

The Anti-Crisis Measures of Bank Liquidity Management in the Conditions of Martial Law in Ukraine (p. 228 - 240)
The aim of the article is to study the features of the use of anti-crisis monetary instruments to support liquidity at the macro level and ensure financial stability in Ukraine in the context of the ongoing full-scale military invasion of the russian federation. The NBU is facing new challenges and tasks related to maintaining the functional capacity of banks, prudent actions aimed at supporting liquidity and financial stability of the banking system. It has already been proved that both a shortage and a surplus of liquidity can be the starting point of a shock explosion in the economy. A comparative-dynamic analysis of the main monetary indicators of the money sphere has been carried out, which has shown their dynamism, controllability, and relative stability. It is noted that in the context of the «unattainable triad», or the Mundell-Fleming trilemma, an independent monetary policy was introduced with respect to the currency, but under the influence of non-monetary factors influencing the monetary sphere, there is a twisting of the spiral of liquidity and the formation of its surplus. Transactions with government bonds and certificates of deposit, which, unlike government bonds, are not a socially useful transaction, do not always achieve the goals of ensuring financial stability and liquidity management under martial law. Monetary transmission in the government securities market does not have a positive effect due to the mandatory military spending of the government of Ukraine. For banks, these operations are a source of profitable liquidity. Due to the non-working transmission mechanism, the inconsistency of the actions of the government and the central bank, in particular, the dynamics of the interest rate does not have a stabilizing effect on the economy.

Financial Provision for the Development of Critical Infrastructure in the Context of Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine’s Economy (p. 263 - 274)
The article examines successful practices and cases of financial provision for the reconstruction of critical infrastructure in countries of the world that once suffered from armed conflicts and active hostilities. The study of foreign experience shows the need to attract international funding mainly in the form of grants, focusing on the tasks of effective development of critical infrastructure using the mechanism of public-private partnership. At the same time, each country has its own specific features. It is determined that the main financial instruments used in the countries of the world for the restoration and modernization of critical infrastructure included the following: non-refundable financial assistance from the United States, loans, foreign direct investment, the State budget funds, funds of individuals and legal entities, grant funds, donor assistance from international financial organizations, financial assistance from non-governmental organizations, soft loans, reparations. Based on the generalization of international best practices, the prospects for the introduction of public-private partnership as a priority model and key principle of post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine are determined. It is found that at present proper attention is not paid to the creation of institutional conditions for the development of critical infrastructure on the basis of public-private partnership in the context of the post-war reconstruction of the national economy. It is proposed to make amendments and additions to legislative and regulatory documents, as well as to develop a National Strategy for the Post-War Reconstruction of Critical Infrastructure in Ukraine and a Plan for its implementation, which will identify the relevant financial instruments and institutions. A structural diagram of the mechanism of financial provision for the post-war reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine is built, taking into account international practice.

The System Determinants of the Current Development of the Credit Market in Ukraine (p. 206 - 212)
The functioning of the credit market always takes place in difficult conditions of macroeconomic development. Today, this market is an integral part of the financial system of any country, and therefore of the respective national economy. The credit market and economic growth are closely interconnected, and this causes an increased interest of scientists in analyzing the features of the functioning of such a market, the basic problems of ensuring its stable development and the search for systemic determinants of the intensification of credit relations in the country. Ukraine is in a difficult economic situation because of the ongoing military aggression of the part of russian federation. This, accordingly, has a destructive effect on the functioning of the entire financial system of the country. Of course, both banking and non-banking financial institutions, whose activities today are associated with the existence of a number of unpredictable risks, have suffered a significant negative impact. The outlined situation has led to transformational processes in the credit market, contributed to the formation of new trends in its current functioning.

Peculiarities of Bank Lending and Means of Stabilizing Business Financial Support in Ukraine During the War (p. 213 - 221)
The article emphasizes the urgency of forming and implementing a public policy for the development of bank lending, as well as improving the financial support of domestic business in wartime conditions. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of the state of bank lending and determine the directions and means of stabilizing the financial support of business in Ukraine in wartime conditions. It is shown that the full-scale war caused significant negative consequences for Ukrainian business, destabilizing both the production and consumption of goods and services, exposing the resource needs of business, significantly worsening the financial and economic condition of business entities; in more than 80% of them the volume of activity decreased in 2022; a third of business representatives saw their business reduced to 20%; in more than half – by 21% or more. The article analyzes the data of the National Bank of Ukraine (for 2019–2023) on the volume and structure of bank lending in Ukraine, the structural ratios of the volume of bank lending to legal entities and individuals in Ukraine, indicators of bank lending to the national economy of Ukraine, levels of securing bank loans with reserves in Ukraine, indicators of corporate loan portfolio in Ukraine by types of economic activity in 2023. It was concluded that the implementation of the financial policy of domestic enterprises in wartime conditions, aimed at their stable and balanced development, involves the connection of such basic aspects as sources of funds formation, vision of prospects for further progress, as well as directions for realization of financial potential. For this, enterprises should form complex subsystems for the formation of financial resources of the enterprise, consisting of attracting funds from own (own capital and investments in the business, financial result from increasing the efficiency of management) and involved sources, as well as applying for the financial capabilities of the institutional and project integration of the enterprise.

Tax Evasion: Do Non-Economic Factors Matter? (p. 227 - 233)
The aim of the study is to substantiate the relationship between the level of tax evasion and tax morality in Ukraine. An assessment of tax morality in the countries of the world is made and the interdependence between the level of tax morality and the scale of the shadow economy both in Ukraine and the world is proved. To achieve the set aim, the following scientific methods were used: the method of analysis and synthesis, methods of comparison, generalization, methods of statistical research (method of groupings, averages). The information base of the study was the results of the repeated sociological study World Values Survey. It is determined that the optimal level of tax burden, the excess of which can lead to the formation/growth of the shadow sector of the economy, also depends on the existing level of tax culture and tax morality in society. Based on the statistical analysis of the results of the World Values Survey, an increase in the level of tax morality over the world has been proven in dynamics. On average, more than 50% of respondents in each wave of the survey consider tax evasion to be a completely unacceptable and unjustified action (answer «1»). The phenomenon of «tax evasion» in most countries participating in the World Values Survey is permanently perceived by respondents as immoral, wrong, threatening the society, which proves the gravitation of the share of respondents with answers from «1» to «5» in all the studied waves up to 90%. It is proved that the volume of the shadow sector of the economy is inversely dependent on the level of tax morality in the country, so measures to form the necessary tax culture and increase the level of tax morality should be included in a comprehensive program for combating tax evasion. In particular, in Ukraine, the correlation coefficient between the share of respondents who condemn and do not justify any tax evasion (answers from «1» to «5» on a scale from «1» to «10») and the size of the shadow sector as a percentage of GDP in Ukraine amounted to –0.93. Prospects for further research elaborations in this direction are related to the application of the methodology of fiscal sociology to provide a more detailed assessment of the level of tax morality and the characterization of the tax culture that has formed in Ukraine.

The State-Based Regulation of the Development of Innovative Information Technologies in the Sphere of Financial Services (p. 241 - 248)
The development of innovative information technologies in the modern world has become a necessity for improving the efficiency of activities of financial institutions and improving the quality of financial services provided to economic agents. The State plays an important role in creating a favorable environment for the implementation of such technologies. However, the introduction of innovative technologies by financial institutions is associated with risks that require the State-based regulation to ensure the stability and reliability of functioning of a financial system. The article discusses the issues of improving the State-based regulation of the processes of development and introduction of information and innovative technologies by financial institutions in Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the substantiation of the need for such regulation. It is determined that the construction of a model of such regulation should be based on the balance of interests of financial institutions, their desire to implement digital technologies for their own development, on the one hand and, on the other hand, their clients, who want to be sure that their personalized information will not be made public to third parties thus leading to a loss of financial resources. The article fragmentarily analyzes the current trends in the development of banking and non-bank financial institutions, describes the transformation processes that have taken place in the model of the State-based regulation of financial institutions in Ukraine. As a result, taking into account the current objective processes of digitalization of both the activities of financial institutions and public authorities that regulate them, measures for the formation and ensuring the effectiveness of the State-based regulation on the introduction of information and communication technologies by financial institutions are proposed, namely: creation of a transparent and open regulatory environment; ensuring a high level of cybersecurity and protection of the customers’ personal data; promoting active cooperation between the State-based regulators, financial institutions, and public organizations for the development and implementation of innovative solutions in the field of balanced use of such technologies.

Peculiarities of Bank Liquidity Regulation under Martial Law (p. 276 - 285)
The purpose of the study is to systematize methodical approaches to managing the liquidity of banks during the period of extreme volatility in the conditions of war, measures of the National Bank of Ukraine in the field of supervision and regulation of the liquidity of individual banks. The stability of the banking system, its liquidity, and the ability to perform basic functions are of utmost importance under martial law. Correct resolution of issues related to the regulation of banks’ liquidity for the formation of sustainable sources of funding is the basis for expanding lending, which is especially important in the context of significant destruction of the State-owned property, property of enterprises and the population. In the current wartime conditions, Ukrainian banks must maintain adequate liquidity, remain solvent, while lending to customers. The implementation of supervision and regulation in the field of ensuring the bank liquidity is complicated by the matter that the traditional factors influencing it were supplemented by specific factors of war, which caused a sharp drop in economic activity and GDP, withdrawal of funds from accounts, panic about the national currency exchange rate, a significant decrease in demand for financial services, interruptions in the operation of payment systems during blackouts, changes in financial monitoring resulting in a significant expansion of sanctions lists and termination of servicing residents of the aggressor country. Therefore, Ukrainian banks need to use anti-crisis liquidity management instruments (taking into account the regulatory field), which are adaptive in nature and take into account the totality of external factors influencing a viable banking business model under martial law. Further research on the factors influencing the bank’s liquidity, systematization of elements of the process of supervision and regulation of the bank’s liquidity, methods and relevant instrumentarium under martial law remain extremely important.

Early Warning Systems in Banks as the Instruments of Anti-Crisis Management (p. 286 - 291)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the functionality and ways to modernize early warning systems in banks as an instrument for anti-crisis management. It is proved that banking crises at the macro and micro levels are identified by: bank runs (banking panic), growth of interest rates on deposits and loans; provision of the State financial assistance to banks to avoid a systemic crisis; reorganization and restructuring in the banking system. It is proposed to consider early warning systems as an aggregate of methods and models that allow to identify potential and real signs of crisis phenomena in banks at the macro and micro levels, and to develop preventive measures of anti-crisis management at the early stages of manifestation. It is noted that the creation of an early warning model is a sequential process that includes three stages: preliminary modeling, modeling, and post-modeling. Such actions are directed towards defining the goals and objectives of the model, evaluating the model, and substantiating the initial representativeness of the model. An approach to systematization of early warning indicators with their division into external and internal ones has been developed. External indicators include: insufficient level of capitalization and profitability, high share of non-performing loans, banking risks, unsatisfactory asset quality, bank runs, imbalance of assets and liabilities in terms of amounts and terms, liquidity problems, and others. Internal indicators are as follows: low level of capitalization, quality of assets of an individual institution, deposit potential, liquidity, profitability, spread, etc. Approaches to improving early warning systems have been developed by modernizing them on the basis of artificial intelligence. An anti-crisis management instrumentarium in banks has been proposed, depending on the type and depth of the crisis. The instruments are systematized into non-market ones, which include emergency measures, restrictions on banking competition and the scope of activity, and market instruments – financial, operational and structural. Prospects for further research are the development of indicators for assessing the depth of the crisis at the macro and micro levels along with determining its level, substantiating strategic and tactical methods of anti-crisis management.

A Virtualization of Institutional Sustainability of Ukrainian Banks on the Example of a Top-10 Bank in the Paradigm of the Knowledge Economy (p. 292 - 302)
The sustainability of a financial institution both in Ukraine and in the world in the context of rapid development of technologies requires a significant rethinking and transformation of management approaches. In accordance with this, it is necessary to improve the instruments for researching and forecasting the associated processes. It makes sense to consider inter-sectoral approaches that are used in the paradigm of neo-institutional economics, taking into account the main trends in the knowledge economy of our time. It is necessary to draw attention to the matter that the current state of the economy of any country requires solving a number of topical issues related to attracting domestic and foreign investment, minimizing the outflow of domestic capital abroad, increasing the level of material production and achieving stable economic development. Such a decision is impossible without a financially sustainable banking sector. The financial condition of each individual bank and its ability to withstand negative factors lead to the successful functioning of the banking system as a whole. It should be noted that the dynamics of institutional sustainability of a banking institution is influenced by other types of sustainability. Taking into account the analyzed array of information, we can operate with the concept of «financial depository institution» in relation to banks and consider their sustainability as institutional sustainability, and its reflection in the media field as «virtualized institutional sustainability of the bank». This requires a comprehensive assessment in all areas related to the work of the bank as an independent institution in the system of institutional relations. Such an approach does not require significant costs for understanding the resilience and forecasting of crises and is called the analysis of the «virtualized institutional sustainability of the bank», which is particularized on the example of the bank JSC «Universal Bank» using the method of Media Research.

Analyzing the Fiscal Efficiency of the Personal Income Tax and Military Fee to the Local Budgets of the Regions (p. 302 - 314)
The aim of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal efficiency of personal income tax in the revenues of consolidated local budgets of both the regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv; identification of factors and trends that cause changes in its volume and structure. The article analyzes the tendencies of changes in the receipt of the personal income tax and military fee on the income of individuals to the budgets of different levels, determines the change in their structure; an analysis of the receipt of the personal income tax and military fee on personal income to the local budget is carried out by the components – both in general and in relation to the local budgets of the regions and the city of Kyiv; tendencies of changes in the volume and share of personal income tax paid by tax agents from the taxpayer’s income in the form of wages and financial provision of military personnel in the regional context to local budgets are analyzed; structural changes in personal income tax as a fiscally significant tax in the formation of local budget revenues have been identified. The factors influencing the change in the volume and structure of personal income tax revenues are substantiated, among which the key one is the turbulent environment in Ukraine caused by a full-scale war, relocation, destruction of the material and technical base of business or temporary loss of business activity. This led to job losses, a decrease in wages, migration of the able-bodied population to other countries and, accordingly, affected the amount of personal income tax paid by tax agents from taxpayers’ salaries. The increase in personal income tax revenues in 2022 was due to an increase in the rate of enrollment in local budgets from 60.0% to 64.0% and an increase in personal income tax on financial provision of military personnel. Other components that form the personal income tax are insignificant and occupy less than 10%, while there is no increase, due to the weakening of tax control and the ongoing tax evasion by both taxpayers and tax agents, as well as partial shadowing of business.

A SWOT Analysis of Fiscal Determinants of the Development of Territorial Communities in Ukraine (p. 315 - 320)
Modern aspects of the reconstruction and development of local self-government bodies in Ukraine require a thorough analysis of risk factors and threats in order to develop effective methods to counteract them. In this perspective, the use of SWOT analysis will help identify strengths and prospects for the effective functioning of territorial communities, taking into account the key determinants of fiscal policy and fiscal federalism. The main aim of the article is to study the trends in the reconstruction and development of the economy of local self-government bodies using the method of SWOT analysis of the determinants of fiscal policy and fiscal federalism. The article examines the effectiveness of the application of strategic SWOT analysis of the functioning of local self-government bodies on the basis of key parameters of fiscal policy and fiscal federalism. It is argued that on the basis of the SWOT analysis and approximation of the original approaches of fiscal federalism, the territorial community in the strategic perspective of managerial decision-making will achieve a synergistic effect in terms of financing priority budget expenditures. The effects are systematized and the priorities of stabilization and development of socioeconomic processes in territorial communities are outlined due to: changes in the redistribution of shares of the personal income tax in the budgets of all levels; expanding the powers of local self-government bodies in the field of administration of local taxes and fees, in particular, the tax on real estate other than land; intensification of actions in the direction of application of investment and (or) innovative tax credit for promising business entities of the national and international level for the implementation of measures to restore and modernize the infrastructure of the territorial community; full-fledged implementation of the State and public control and monitoring of the efficiency of budget expenditures, etc.

World Experience of Digital Development: Problems of Financial Subjectivity in the Context of Ukrainian Realities (p. 241 - 248)
The aim of the article is to characterize the concept of financial subjectivity in the context of ensuring the reconstructive process, identifying the leading directions of digital financial development of Ukraine and determining their impact on the reconstructive process, as well as systematizing the world experience of digital financial transformations. To achieve the aim, the concept of financial subjectivity as the ability to exercise one’s financial freedom, which is a contradictory unity of independence and dependence on the inner essence of the decision-maker, has been substantiated. Taking into account the consideration that the implementation of financial subjectivity at the State level provides for the dominance of national priorities, it is shown that the intensification of digital development of the financial sector of our country has led to the formation of trends in which financial institutions will create significant risks for the reconstruction process and development of financial subjectivity. It is substantiated how digital lending, the dominant of non-cash circulation and the introduction of the central bank’s digital currency will level financial subjectivity, gradually excluding it from economic communication. At the same time, the European example of digital financial transformations is shown and its effectiveness in the context of harmonization of digital and non-digital development is substantiated. The ways to optimize the digital development of the financial sector of Ukraine are identified, the need to limit the influence of world financial regulators and prevent the experimental nature of the introduction of the central bank’s digital currency is shown.

Introduction of the Central Bank’s Digital Currency in Ukraine: Analysis and Prospects (p. 248 - 257)
The aim of the article is to analyze the prospects for the introduction of the central bank’s digital currency in the Ukrainian economy. The e-hryvnia can become an alternative to traditional payment transaction instruments, providing a simpler, more secure, and more reliable ability to make payments for services, goods, and various transactions. The article discusses the introduction of the e-hryvnia as a digital currency of the central bank in Ukraine. The issues related to the economic essence of the e-hryvnia are considered, the evolution of forms of money is studied, the main characteristics of the central bank’s digital currency are highlighted, the state of the payment infrastructure in Ukraine and the possibility of its use for the introduction of the e-hryvnia are evaluated. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the following conclusions are made regarding the prospects for the introduction of the e-hryvnia in Ukraine. The infrastructure for cashless payments in Ukraine is well developed. The country has a large number of means for transactions with payment cards, including payment terminals in retail and service networks. Neighboring Poland and Romania have a larger number of terminals per 100 people, while Ukraine has a larger share of cashless payments compared to these countries. And the volume of these non-cash transactions is constantly growing. This is due to the fact that Ukraine has a well-developed infrastructure for card-to-card payments, which does not require additional equipment for payment card transactions. A comparatively smaller number of funds for payment card transactions may not be considered an indicator of a less developed payment infrastructure. In Ukraine, there is an increase in the number of contactless cards and tokenized cards. Taking into account these factors, it can be concluded that the payment infrastructure is sufficiently developed for the introduction of a central bank’s digital currency, which will be the e-hryvnia. The introduction of the e-hryvnia in Ukraine is realistic and can have a positive impact on the development of the economy and financial system of Ukraine.

Management of Bank Profit Formation (p. 257 - 265)
In the context of martial law and the State budget deficit, the profitability of systemically important banks plays a key role in supporting the national economy as a whole. Changing economic conditions and growing competition in the financial services market impose certain requirements on banks and require them to constantly analyze the external environment and improve their performance. As banks are focused on making a profit, which is the main goal of their activities, management of profit formation is one of the key functions of banks. Thus, given the variability of the external environment, the issue of management of profit formation is relevant and requires research both at the level of individual banks and at the level of the banking system as a whole. The aim of the article is to define the theoretical aspects of bank profit and to conduct a practical study of profit formation of a systemically important market participant - JSC CB «Privatbank». The objectives of the article are to define the concept of «profit» and its components, to conduct an analytical study of the financial results of the banking system and JSC CB "Privatbank", to conduct a correlation and regression analysis of profit and to identify the main directions of its formation. The article applies such research methods and techniques as abstraction, specification, theory development, as well as methods of analysis, evaluation and modeling. The article defines the relevance of this topic, considers theoretical definitions of the concept of "bank profit", its bibliographic component, provides the authors' own definition of the studied concept, analyses financial results and indicators of profitability of the banking system, analyses profit indicators of JSC CB "Privatbank", conducts correlation and regression analysis using the least squares method, and draws conclusions on the analysis of bank profit formation. Further research will help to specify the influence of factors on the formation of profit and identify ways to maximize it in the context of crisis phenomena.

Development of Gender Budgeting in Ukraine: A Tool of Financial Security in the Conditions of Armed Conflict (p. 266 - 271)
The article is devoted to substantiating the need to apply gender budgeting as a promising tool for the country’s financial security. Attention is also focused on the matter that the movement towards smoothing out gender inequality at all stages and in all components of public policy brings Ukraine to the level of the European model, which shows that in countries where, for instance, there is a high percentage of women’s representation in political life, a high level of ensuring civil rights and freedoms is observed. The Global Gender Gap Index of Ukraine showed that our country has not significantly lost its positions both in terms of the overall indicator and its key parameters, given the situation with the armed conflict on its territory, but gender policy is not yet effective enough. The inclusion of budget legislation with elements of genderness is based on the requirements of international law, the country’s participation in international projects related to gender budgeting. It is emphasized that the application of the gender approach in planning the directions of economic development and budgeting taking into account gender characteristics makes it transparent, money is spent efficiently, all social and gender groups receive services. The already existing partnership and participation of local self-government bodies in gender equality programs demonstrates the readiness of communities to adhere to the principles of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men and to implement obligations in the field of gender equality. These priorities are laid down in the strategic programs for the development of the State in general and in individual territorial communities in particular. It is noted that women contribute to the creation of more equitable local communities, in which, against the background of women’s solidarity, women’s employment and women’s entrepreneurship are supported, women’s economic activity increases, which becomes one of the foundations for strengthening the financial security of an individual community, region and country as a whole. Further research will be aimed at developing promising areas for the use of gender identity in the planning of the national and local budgets.

The Fiscal Efficiency of VAT Electronic Invoicing System in the Domestic Market of Ukraine (p. 271 - 279)
The objectives of the introduction, the content and impact of the reform of electronic administration of VAT through the indicators of fiscal efficiency of value added tax in Ukraine are generalized. The assessment of the fiscal efficiency of the tax was carried out using a set of annual indicators of the effective tax rate in relation to GDP and the end domestic consumption of goods and services. It is proved that digital transformations in taxation primarily stimulate the transparency of taxation procedures. The indicators of actual VAT revenues for the period 1997–2022 are summarized. The main goals of the electronic transformation of VAT in Ukraine are to return justice to fiscal practices: elimination of fictitious suppliers, «carousel fraud», «tax pits», «twists», conversion centers, «optimizers» from VAT chains; combating payment evasion through improved administration; reduction of discretion in the application of tax procedures; reduction of corruption rents; elimination of administrative pressure from the tax authorities; simplification of mechanisms for administration and payment of VAT, etc. The lack of success concerning the positive impact of VAT electronic invoicing system on the efficiency of tax collection for operations in the domestic market is corroborated. The factors of fiscal inefficiency of VAT in Ukraine are: significant shadow sector of the economy; functioning of a simplified taxation system to avoid VAT; refusal to fiscalize cash payments for single tax payers in 2019-2022; availability of tax benefits for the rapidly growing agricultural sector (single tax group 4); lack of control over cash payments in many sectors of the economy; a ban on documentary audits of taxpayers due to the russian-Ukrainian war.

The aim of the article is to substantiate the components of the resource potential of the insurer as a complex category that characterizes the activity of the subject and allows it to move towards the set goal of activity. In the analysis of professional literature in terms of the content and components of the resource potential of an economic entity, the content of the concept of «resource potential» of the insurer is clarified and its components are outlined. At that, the allocation of components was carried out taking into account the objective-subjective and resource-functional composition of the potential. As a result of the study, it is concluded that financial, material, investment, personnel, information, and technological potentials are directly related to the resources of the insurer, the relationship between which allows the company to provide quality services, apply innovations in the insurance market, provide opportunities to compete in this market and achieve the planned goals. A characterization of the mentioned types of potential is provided. In particular, the financial potential is characterized by allocating the indicators by which it should be analyzed. The material potential is described in terms of the totality of tangible assets and resources that an insurance company can or already uses in its activities. The personnel and technological potentials are characterized by directions and possibilities of their application. The informational potential is defined by a company’s ability to collect, process, store, and use information for decision-making, business process optimization, customer service, and risk management. The investment potential allows the company to receive additional funds and expand its activities. Effective use of the resource potential is manifested in the formation of strategic and market potential of an insurance company and significantly strengthens its competitive position in the insurance services market.

Features of the Development of the Banking Services Market of Ukraine: The Effect of Bank Size and Gibrat's Law (p. 278 - 287)
Quantitative description of the development of the banking services market is important for making optimal decisions in the regulation of the banking sector. The importance of the question lies in the fact that such a description makes it possible to take into account the transformation of banks, sources of risks, to identify the main trends or regularities in the process of evolution. The aim of this article is to test Gibrat's law as a hypothesis for the development of the banking services market of Ukraine, by an empirical experiment where all existing banks are tracked over time on an annual basis and the distribution of banks by the size of assets or income is constructed annually. The work assumes the possibility of establishing a statistical size (assets or income) distribution of banks with certain average values and variances according to the lognormal distribution of banks. The research methodology is based on statistical analysis and verification of the correspondence of the empirical size distribution of banks to the logarithmically normal one provided by Gibrat's law. The study period covers the banking sector from 2014 to 2023 and includes all operating banks. The information base for the analysis was the annual official reporting data (report on the financial state) of banks, published by the National Bank of Ukraine and on the banks' official websites. The data set defines the assets and income of all banks and each bank separately, annually. It has been proven that Gibrat's law is not fulfilled for banks of Ukraine, the size distributions do not obey the Gaussian distribution law. The rate of growth of banks is not random (as it is assumed by Gibrat's hypothesis). The trend of gradual approximation of income distributions to the lognormal type and the potential possibility of implementation of Gibrat's law for the period of 2022–2023 has been revealed.

The Problems and Prospects of Digital Transformation of the Banking Sector of Ukraine (p. 287 - 293)
Digital transformation is a key driver of changes in the established state of the banking sector both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. Digital transformation is a lever for strengthening the level of efficiency of banks and increasing the level of profitability of activities by optimizing costs, deepening customer analytics, and accelerating managerial decision-making in the bank. Digital transformation also poses a number of challenges for the established work of banks that have not prioritized their work in the field of digitalization. Accordingly, the problems of planning and implementing strategic plans of the Ukrainian banking sector within the framework of digital transformation are becoming more acute. The aim of the article is to analyze the specifics of the digital transformation of banks at the present stage and the formation of a set of actions to strengthen the results of digital transformations for banks in Ukraine. The article examines the current context of digital transformation of the banking sector. The key challenges for banks in the direction of digital transformations are allocated. The main priorities for banks in the framework of digital transformation are considered. The ramification of the effects of digital transformation for banks is emphasized, in particular in terms of increasing the level of efficiency and increasing the profitability of the banking business. An analysis of the context of the main trends in the digital transformation of the banking sector from the point of view of the regulator based on the experience of the European Central Bank (ECB) is carried out. The main challenges of digital transformations of the Ukrainian banking sector are allocated. A comprehensive set of key measures has been formed that will contribute to strengthening the efficiency of the digital transformation of Ukrainian banks. The presented study may be of scientific and practical interest to specialized researchers, the expert community of the banking market, digital transformation consultants, public authorities, and the NBU. Prospect for further research is an extended study of the problems of integrating digital transformation into the development strategies of Ukrainian banks in the plane of various groups of stakeholders, as well as adapting the process of digital transformation of banks in Ukraine to the requirements of the EU banking sector in the context of the European integration movement.

The Role of Financial Instruments in Implementing the Conception of Sustainable Development (p. 300 - 304)
The article proves that global economic and environmental crises can significantly undermine the country's financial stability, which emphasizes the need to develop and implement new strategies aimed at sustainable financial support in the sustainable development context. It is argued that in the modern world, rethinking the role of the financial system is becoming an integral part of countries' strategies for achieving sustainable development. It has been studied that in recent years, increased awareness of the risks and challenges associated with the need to comply with the principles of sustainable development has changed attitudes towards investing. It is found that the formation of the green investment model in Ukraine faces numerous obstacles that constitute systemic challenges for the effective implementation of sustainable investments, including: economic distortions and imbalances in the Ukrainian economy; technological backwardness and the lack of "clean" technologies for commercial implementation; structural disparities in the economy due to the underestimation of the importance of innovation and investment activity; the low level of coordination of actions of various State administration bodies in the field of State regulation; the institutional weakness of the financial sector of Ukraine. The effect of the introduction of the green bond market has been studied. Areas of prospective cooperation within the framework of the Green Deal have been determined.

Essence of the Company’s Current Assets, Strategies for Financing (p. 305 - 311)
The article focuses on the present-day economic situation, which is characterized by instability and high dynamism of the external environment, mainly affecting the formation and use of assets by companies. General approaches to the allocation of the essence of circulating assets have been formed. In this context, their interpretation, main groups and characteristics are considered. It is determined that the essence of current assets is expressed through the relationships between the following groups of indicators: inventories and return on assets, accounts receivable and return on assets, as well as relations between cash together with cash equivalents and return on assets. On this basis, a structural and logical scheme of the policy of managing the current assets of the company has been built. This allowed to define that the policy of management of current assets of enterprise is a multiaspectual process that concerns the main directions of the policy of formation and financing of current assets. It is substantiated that the policy of managing current assets should ensure a compromise between the risk of liquidity loss and profitability. Three strategies for financing current assets are considered. A conservative strategy for managing current assets can correspond to a moderate or conservative type of current liability management policy, but not to an aggressive one. Any type of current liability management policy can be matched by a moderate current asset management policy. An aggressive current asset management strategy can be consistent with an aggressive or moderate current liability management policy, but not a conservative one. Understanding all the advantages and disadvantages of the strategies for financing current assets allows the company to improve production capabilities, financial position, work with certain types of current assets and ensure the dynamic growth of the company in the strategic perspective.

The article emphasizes the relevance of the formation and implementation of public policy for the development of the small business sector in the conditions of wartime, in particular in the aspect of minimizing the negative impact of existing financial threats to the sustainable functioning of its representatives. The aim of the study is to identify the features and determine the principles of the State policy of maintaining the financial stability of the small business sector in a crisis. The novel problems of guaranteeing the financial stability of small businesses in Ukraine in the conditions of wartime are identified. The essential and semantic characteristics of the concept of «financial sustainability» at the level of the small business sector have been developed. It is asserted and then proved that this is the very state of development of the financial and credit system and the economic environment of entrepreneurial activity, in which the financial threats of deterioration of the financial and economic condition of a critical mass of small businesses are minimized. On this basis, the leading objects of the State policy are: fair competition; absence of the transaction and transformation costs; availability of external investments and loans; acceptable cost of raising and using capital; development of financial and credit infrastructure; an effective system of financial risk insurance. The features of management of financial sustainability of entities of the small business sector are determined by such management functions as analysis, planning and regulation of the financial condition, organization, motivation, and control. The main challenges and threats to the financial stability of Ukrainian business in the conditions of wartime are identified. An instrumentarium for countering the challenges and threats of financial destabilization of the subjects of the small business sector of Ukraine has been elaborated and substantiated, which should be implemented in the following areas: application of progressive methods of anti-crisis financial management; supplementing traditional approaches with progressive levers and mechanisms of financial management; introduction of effective additional financial instruments; development of institutional and legal support for the processes of strengthening financial sustainability; modernization of information and analytical support of financial management in the field of monitoring and development and implementation of policies to guarantee the appropriate level of financial sustainability of business.

Non-State Pension Funds: The Current State and Development Prospects in Ukraine (p. 324 - 330)
The aim of the article is to analyze the current state of functioning of non-State pension funds, define their main problems and prospects for development. According to the legislation, Ukraine has a three-tier pension system, the third level of which is the system of non-State pension provision, the basis of which is constituted by non-State pension funds. A non-State pension fund is an institution or organization that collects and invests pension contributions and maintains individual pension accounts for participants in the pension system. Non-State pension funds manage investments, using the accumulated money reserved for retirement to ensure the growth and preservation of participants’ retirement savings. The main goal of their investment activities is to generate sufficient income for future pension payments. The non-State pension funds play an important role in mobilizing financial resources and forming the investment potential of the pension system. The main indicators of activity of non-State pension funds are analyzed, namely: the number of concluded pension contracts, the total number of NSPF participants, the total value of NSPF assets, pension contributions, pension payments, and the amount of investment income. The problems that impede the effective functioning of non-State pension funds are classified as: economic, demographic, legal, investment, and psychological. The most important problem hindering the development of the system of non-State pension provision, including the functioning of non-State pension funds, is the non-perception of it as an alternative to the State-based system. The effective operation of non-State pension funds in the country depends on many factors, including the standard of living of the population, as well as the development of financial market infrastructure. Measures to intensify the activities of non-State pension funds in the financial market of Ukraine in the current economic conditions are substantiated. It is noted that the intensification of the activities of non-State pension funds will help reduce the burden on the Pension Fund of Ukraine and the State budget of our country.

Banking Instruments for Credit Collateral of Large Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 292 - 297)
The article highlights the theoretical and practical foundations of lending to domestic large enterprises. The main types of the bank lending to corporate clients are allocated and characterized. It is noted that in the process of lending relations, representatives of large businesses are offered a fairly wide range of loans and the related services, namely: term services, investment loans, loans for current activities, promissory notes, commercial mortgages, acceptance and guarantee loans, financial leasing, factoring, forfaiting. Based on the carried out analysis of the dynamics of bank credit investments in the economy and the development of large enterprises in Ukraine, it was concluded that loans granted to large enterprises during the research period make up about a third of the total volume of all loans received by economic entities. The carried out assessment of the dynamics and structure of loans granted to large enterprises in terms of repayment terms indicates the predominance of short-term loans for the period under study. On the basis of the carried out research, conclusions were drawn and specific proposals were made regarding the improvement of the process of lending to large enterprises, which include: the implementation of effective national and regional programs for lending to large enterprises, as well as the creation of programs for reimbursing or subsidizing interest rates on loans; application in the process of bank lending of detailed target segmentation of customers, taking into account the field of activity, seasonality of production, financing model; creation of opportunities for concessional lending to enterprises by means of the development of new banking products aimed specifically at the target borrower, offering, in parallel with lending, service for management of enterprise profit and the provision of financial consulting services to minimize potential risks of the borrower.

Behavior of Financial Markets under Experimental Economic Analysis (p. 298 - 304)
Behavioral aspects play an important role, and an experimental analysis of financial markets allows studying the psychological and behavioral factors that are affecting participants. The aim of the article is to analyze the interaction of financial market participants in a controlled experimental environment in order to identify and reveal the peculiarities of their behavior, strategies and mutual influence. The information base of the research is official information and scientific publications. Research was conducted using the following methods: monographic; analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction; system analysis. Systematic changes in consumer demand, production and other spheres of economy determine not only household habits, but also affect decision-making by participants in economic relations. The identified calendar anomalies indicate that economic entities react to time factors and seasonal changes, which is important for management and forecasting strategies. Price bubbles are an expression not only of objective market conditions, but also of psychological and socio-cultural influences on the behavior of market participants. Understanding and predicting price bubbles requires a comprehensive approach that combines economic, psychological and social aspects. This will allow more accurate analysis and management of risks associated with price fluctuations and their possible consequences for economic stability. As part of the experimental economic analysis, it is found that calendar and seasonal effects play a significant role in the formation of economic trends. The study of the phenomenon of price bubbles and adaptive expectations in experimental economic analysis reveals deep structures of market dynamics.

Wartime Monetary Policy Instruments (p. 304 - 310)
Wartime poses numerous challenges at the micro and macro levels. One of the key challenges in this context is macro-financial stability. The answer to this challenge can be provided by an effective transmission mechanism of the State’s monetary policy. The aim of the article is to analyze the features of a set of measures taken by the NBU in the period of 2022–2023 in response to the intensification of russian armed aggression in the plane of the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. The article analyzes the challenges of monetary policy in wartime, including financing military needs, ensuring the stability of the banking system, managing international reserves, and exchange rate flexibility. The key measures on the part of the NBU, such as the purchase of government bonds, ensuring the liquidity of the banking system and stimulating economic growth, are highlighted. A significant increase in international reserves, which has become an important factor in macro-economic stability in wartime, is indicated. The specifics of monetary policy in the conditions of wartime, its impact on investment, consumption, and inflationary pressure are considered; the need for close cooperation between the Central Bank and the Government in this area is underlined. Particular attention is paid to the financing of military expenditures and their impact on monetary policy. The measures taken by the NBU to prevent a liquidity crisis and maintain the solvency of banks are analyzed. The contradiction between the financing of the budget deficit and the stability of the national currency is considered. The need to maintain macro-financial stability through a high discount rate and exchange rate adjustment is indicated. The importance of maintaining the stability of the financial system in wartime conditions is emphasized. The proposed study can be useful for researchers and analysts of monetary policy, central banks, governments, and international financial organizations. Prospects for further research are proposed in the direction of integration of Ukraine’s monetary policy in the context of development of the national economy at the post-wartime stage of development.

Developing an Index of Credit Standards in Ukraine Using Ordered Logit Models (p. 311 - 319)
This study expands the understanding of the dynamics of credit standards in Ukraine. This publication makes an important contribution to the analysis of the supply of bank lending. A panel ordered logit model was used to build the Credit Standards Index (CRI) for different market segments. The study uses survey data on bank lending conditions at the bank level, which makes it unique, as this data is usually used at the aggregated level. The accuracy of the model is 65% for corporate loans, 84.4% for mortgages, and 77.6% for consumer loans. It is found that at the system level, banks in Ukraine tightened corporate lending standards during the crises in 2014–2015 and 2022, while standards for mortgages and consumer loans were tightened only in 2022. Based on the results of the simulation, it is determined that banks weakened lending standards only for consumer loans in 2021. It is found that the model weakly classifies banks that have softened or strengthened corporate lending standards, but for mortgages and consumer loans, the results are noticeably better. The increase in interest rates in the interbank market affects the tightening of credit standards for corporate loans. According to the results of the study, real GDP growth contributes to the weakening of standards for corporate and mortgage loans. Competition between banks may weaken standards for all market segments, but strengthen them for mortgages. Expectations of the prospects for the real estate market affect both the strengthening and weakening of mortgage lending standards. In the field of consumer lending, borrowers’ solvency expectations determine the change in credit standards in both directions. The results are important from the standpoint of using the index to study the determinants of lending in Ukraine, as the index approximates the supply of banks, which is an unobservable variable.

Assessing the Credit Risks in the Risk Management System of Banking Structures (p. 320 - 332)
The effective lending activity of the bank depends on the qualitative assessment of the creditworthiness of borrowers. This process determines not only the success of an individual banking operation, but also the entire credit policy of the bank. Modern banks use different approaches to creditworthiness analysis, because each loan agreement has its own specifics. The article summarizes and forms the main elements of the bank’s risk management system, substantiates the significant impact of such factors as the use of the latest technologies, stress management, and the culture of risk management. It is determined that the main and additional elements of the risk management system should take into account the features of the organizational and financial structure of each bank. In order to improve the methodologies for assessing the risks of banking activities on the basis of modeling methods and machine learning, the article proposes a conceptual model for assessing the credit risk of a commercial bank, which allows to implement the following stages: to form an information space for such an assessment and to carry out a scoring assessment of the creditworthiness of borrowers. As a result of the implementation of the first stage of the study, a set of observation objects is formed, assessed using a set of indicators; a binary characteristic of the client’s creditworthiness has been determined, which in turn determines the sign of the client’s attractiveness for lending. On the basis of the aggregate of selected factors, a comprehensive scoring model for assessing the borrower’s creditworthiness has been implemented, which allows to determine the rules for categorizing variables. A logistic regression has been constructed by the method of step-by-step exclusion and its significance has been assessed. Each client is assigned a score using a scoring card, on the basis of which a credit rating forecast for new borrowers is also calculated. The results of the research can be used by banks to improve the risk management system, as well as help banks to increase their efficiency and competitiveness.

Financial Potential of the Solidarity Pension System of Ukraine and Ways to Improve It (p. 332 - 337)
The solidarity pension system currently plays a major role in the functioning of the pension system of Ukraine. It is the first level of the domestic pension system that accounts for the main financial burden of pension payments to Ukrainian citizens. The aim of the scientific article is to assess the financial potential of the solidarity pension system of Ukraine, determine the impact of various factors on its condition and search for additional sources of financing pension payments for citizens of retirement age. The article pays special attention to the analysis of the challenges that society has received under martial law in the country, and their impact on the features of the financial provision of the pension sector. The results of the study show that the crisis in the national economy, as well as negative trends in the demographic sphere, significantly affected the financial condition of the main financial institution of the solidarity pension system – the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU). During the study period, the Pension Fund’s own financial resources are not enough to fulfill its obligations to Ukrainian pensioners, so there is a deficit of the PFU. It is determined that it is covered by the State Budget of Ukraine, as well as financial resources of international financial organizations. Attention is drawn to the fact that the minimum and average pensions of Ukrainian pensioners, although they tend to increase, are much lower than the incomes of citizens of retirement age in most European countries. In order to promote the diversification of sources of income for citizens of retirement age, to raise their level to European standards, it is necessary to introduce a mandatory accumulative pension system. It is noted that accumulative pension programs together with redistributive ones will contribute to strengthening the financial potential of the pension sector and increasing the incomes of Ukrainian pensioners.

The National Phenomenon of Profitability of Banks in the Conditions of Wartime (p. 184 - 193)
The aim of the article is to study the reasons for the profitability of the banking sector in the conditions of wartime, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the means of the State-based regulation to ensure financial stability. The theoretical approaches to the analysis of instruments of influence on indicators of stability of financial institutions in conditions of permanent external shocks are generalized. It is identified that the main factor in increasing the profitability of the banking sector of Ukraine during the wartime was the placement of excess liquidity in low-risk and high-yield financial assets, among which NBU certificates of deposit predominate. It is substantiated that the high attractiveness of these assets was formed as a result of maintaining a high level of the discount rate for a long period of time and the presence of a high interest margin on transactions with certificates of deposit. The consequences for the financial system and the economy of the phenomenon of increased profitability in conditions of low credit activity are determined. The positive consequences include an increase in the level of capitalization and financial stability of banking institutions. Among the negative ones, the inability to use the resource potential of the banking system for investment recovery of the economy is identified. The consequences of the use of instruments of fiscal redistribution of excess profits in favor of the State budget through an increase in the tax burden for banks are analyzed. Measures to equalize the yield on NBU certificates of deposit and domestic government bonds to accumulate excess liquidity and reduce lending during the wartime are proposed. The need to reorient demand from short-term to long-term government securities to cover the budget deficit in a non-emission way has been determined, which justifies the use of such a model of redistribution of financial resources accumulated by the banking system under the conditions of the wartime economy. It is emphasized that the use of this mechanism at the stage of post-wartime economic recovery will cause negative consequences in the form of the effect of crowding out private investment by the State and the slowed down economic growth.

Management of Financial Activities of Agricultural Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 194 - 201)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the need to manage the financial activities of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine in the context of ensuring a sufficient amount of financial resources to fulfill all production and non-production goals. In the context of the study, the essence of financial activity has been defined and its functional characteristics have been allocated, which allows for a detailed assessment of its role in the financial provision of enterprise development. The main factors influencing the financial activity of agricultural enterprises are systematized, the consideration of which is the determining function of the management process. An analysis of the main indicators of economic development of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine has been carried out, which has allowed to define the level of profitability of their activities, which indicates the availability of own financial resources in the structure of sources of financial support. It is substantiated that the profitable activity of agricultural enterprises does not allow them to fully finance their own needs of expanded reproduction, and high prices for fixed assets and current assets force them to use other sources of financial security. The main methods of financial support for the activities of agricultural enterprises have been researched and described in detail, which has allowed to substantiate the use of the most alternative methods of financing, which are reduced to self-financing, lending, State financial support and leasing. In order to study the management aspects of ensuring the efficiency of financial activities, the stages of management are presented with a clear detailing of the functions at each of them, which makes it possible to correctly approach the management process and determine its main elements. In order to ensure the efficiency of management of financial activities, the main structural elements of this process have been identified and the features of the activities of agricultural enterprises, which should be taken into account in the development of managerial decisions, have been clearly allocated.

Priorities of Tax Policy of the Socioeconomic Development of Territorial Communities (p. 201 - 210)
The article formulates the priorities of the tax policy of socioeconomic development of territorial communities under the influence of endo- and exogenous factors of its implementation. In the course of the study, general scientific and special research methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the method of causal analysis, methods of systematization and logical generalization, as well as the method of SWOT analysis. Their application made it possible to identify and systematize the problems of implementation of tax policy in the context of ensuring the socioeconomic development of territorial communities in Ukraine, taking into account the regulatory, organizational, economic, managerial and regulatory aspects. The method of SWOT analysis identifies obstacles and opportunities, weaknesses and strengths of the implementation of tax policy aimed at the development of individual territories of the country. According to its results, the priorities of the tax policy of socioeconomic development of territorial communities are determined. It is proposed that the implementation of these priorities of the tax policy of socioeconomic development of territorial communities of Ukraine, taking into account its administrative-territorial structure and differences in the natural-resource, production-sectoral and socioeconomic provision of individual territories, should take place primarily at the local level, which will help to form «development centers», the economic growth of which, according to the principle of diffusion, will spread to the regional and national levels. It is expected that the identified priorities will help to improve the existing tax policy, contributing to increasing the tax potential of budgets of cities, the formation of a business environment, and improving the tax culture both at the level of the population and at the level of competent local authorities, as well as the growth of social awareness and participation in the economic development of territorial communities.

Tax Revenues in the Total Revenues of Local Budgets of Ukraine and Their Fiscal Potential (p. 210 - 220)
The aim of the article is to analyze the dynamics of tax revenues of local budgets in Ukraine for the period from 2018 to 2023 and to study their structure and share in the total revenues of local budgets, the consolidated budget and the country’s GDP to identify their fiscal potential and influencing factors. Analyzing the dynamics of tax revenues of local budgets from 2018 to 2023, it is worth noting the overall growth of these revenues during the mentioned period. However, the ongoing war that began in 2022 and other external factors have significantly affected this dynamic, leading to fluctuations. The article examines not only the general dynamics of tax revenues, but also their structure, distribution by main components and their relation to the total revenues of local and consolidated budgets, as well as a percentage of GDP. The share of tax revenues in total local budget revenues in Ukraine has undergone significant changes, increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in 2022, but slightly decreasing in 2023. The share of these revenues in total consolidated budget revenues also decreased in 2022 and 2023, indicating the impact of economic instability and war. The share of local tax revenues in GDP increased in 2022 and 2023, reflecting the increased role of local taxes in financing and adapting to new economic conditions. The dynamics and structure of local taxes and fees, as well as their contribution to the tax revenues of local budgets, are also considered. Analysis of the dynamics of local taxes and fees shows a steady growth in 2019–2020, but a sharp decline in 2022 due to hostilities. However, in 2023, there is a positive trend along with growth, which indicates the stabilization and recovery of the economy. The structure of local taxes and fees is undergoing changes, in particular, there is an increase in the share of the single tax, which indicates a strategic rethinking of the taxation system to simplify and increase the efficiency of tax collection. The increase in the share of local taxes and fees in the tax revenues of local budgets testifies to their importance in the financial support of local authorities and their economic self-sufficiency and stability. In general, the analysis provides an opportunity to understand the economic situation in the regions of Ukraine and the impact of external and internal factors on financial processes in Ukraine. The results obtained can be useful for government agencies, economists and researchers interested in the financial stability and economic development of the regions of Ukraine.

Problematic Aspects and Improvement of Property Taxation in Ukraine (p. 220 - 228)
The aim of the article is to study the problematic aspects of property tax administration and identify approaches to its improvement. It is found that property tax revenues in Ukraine are at a low level relative to GDP, their share in GDP does not exceed 1%, while the level of this ratio in the EU Member States is on average 2.2%. During the period under analysis, there is a tendency to a slow reduction in the share in GDP of both local taxes and fees, as well as property tax, which makes local budgets dependent on transfers from the State budget and the shares of national taxes and fees assigned to them. There is a steady tendency to reduce the share of property tax in the tax revenues of local budgets of Ukraine in recent years, which is associated with the full-scale war in Ukraine and the tax benefits for the payment of property taxes adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. It is determined that the largest share in the structure of property taxes falls on land payments, while the share of transport tax is very low due to the limited list of objects that are liable to taxation. The main problems of property tax regulation in Ukraine have been allocated as follows: insufficient level of effectiveness in the administration of real estate tax, imperfect process of determining the property tax base, unreasoned establishment of property tax benefits, centralized administration of property taxes. Different approaches to tax administration and foreign experience on this issue are analyzed. The expediency of transferring the powers to administer property taxes to local self-government bodies in order to strengthen the financial capacity of communities and reduce public expenditures is substantiated. It is defined that local self-government bodies represent the most interested subject in the formation of a self-sufficient system of local finances, and tax service bodies have insufficient resources and have low motivation to administer property taxes. The problems for local authorities in case of obtaining powers to administer property tax are outlined. A new model of property tax administration has been proposed, in which local self-government bodies exercise the entire set of powers to administer property taxes. Directions for improving the property tax administration system in Ukraine are also proposed.

Peculiarities of Counteracting the Money Laundering in Contemporary Financial Markets (p. 228 - 236)
The development of new financial technologies has led to a significant acceleration of cash flows, an expansion of the range of opportunities for settlements and the use of digital financial instruments. One of the negative consequences of this process was the emergence of new money laundering schemes. The aim of the article is to qualitatively assess the changes in the sphere of money laundering with the use of financial institutions caused by the development of new financial technologies and virtual instruments, as well as to determine the list of signs of transactions with virtual assets that may indicate the implementation of money laundering schemes. Virtual assets have significant potential to stimulate financial innovation and efficiency in financial markets, but their individual characteristics create new opportunities for money laundering and terrorism financing. In view of this, it is of great importance in modern financial markets to improve methods of counteracting this phenomenon, in particular, the formation of a list of signs of transactions with virtual assets, which may indicate the illegal origin of funds or illegal purposes of their movement. The publication proposes an approximate list of signs of money laundering, which can be used by financial service providers in the process of monitoring transactions. Our approach involves dividing such attributes into six categories according to the volume and frequency of transactions, transaction patterns, anonymity, characteristics of transaction beneficiaries, source of funds, and geographic risk. A list of signs of suspicious activity when carrying out transactions, the use of assets with a high level of anonymity, client risks, links with criminal activity or high-risk jurisdictions has been determined. In order to understand the big picture and qualitatively assess the risks of money laundering and terrorism financing, the features identified in the article should be considered in the context of all available information on individual transactions. Taking into account the features and vulnerabilities of the latest financial instruments, we consider it an important prerequisite for updating the current practices of customer due diligence and detection of suspicious financial transactions.

This article aims to explore the use of digital finance and fintech in financing sustainable projects and explain trends in the development of sustainable digital finance. Sustainable digital finance is the targeted application of digital finance to finance and support appropriate institutional and market mechanisms that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. It is determined that the decentralization of the financial sphere opens up new opportunities for «green» investments and achievement of sustainable development goals. Transparency, trust, and efficiency are becoming essential components of a sustainable financial ecosystem that conserves natural resources and supports environmentally friendly initiatives. The use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the financial sector to support sustainable development and green finance is considered. By providing financial risk forecasting and analysis, these technologies help create sustainable and effective strategies for issuers and investors, which contributes to the development of a sustainable financial sector. The taxonomy of «green» digital finance, which combines sustainable development goals with digital financial technologies, is considered. The characteristics and examples of different types of sustainable digital financial solutions are provided. The importance of continuing research in the field of sustainable digital finance to promote «green» initiatives and effectively address modern global challenges is emphasized. The practical value of this article is that it provides an overview of modern technological and financial innovations in green finance and sustainable development. The results of the study can be useful for researchers interested in the integration of finance and technology in the context of sustainable development, providing them with a basic understanding of key concepts and trends in this direction.

Features of Constructing a Cyclical Risk Index Using the Hodrick–Prescott Filter for Monitoring and Management of Banking Risks (p. 280 - 289)
The article analyzes the impact of cyclical financial risks on the economy of Ukraine using the cyclical risk index. The index is designed to monitor the current level of cyclical risks, as well as possible accumulation in the future. Timely identification of risks with the help of an innovative tool gives the regulator enough time to react and implement anti-crisis measures. In addition, the methodology of index evaluation allows you to visualize not only the index, but also its components, which facilitates the interpretation of the used tool. The dynamics of cyclical risks during economic and financial crises is considered and the importance of their analysis for macroprudential policy is noted. The assessment of the cyclical risk index was carried out using the Hodrick – Prescott filter using indicators reflecting new lending, lending volumes, as well as the cost of lending. The indicators taken into account for the assessment of the index are used separately for the sector of households and non-financial corporations. The results of the analysis showed that after the crisis of 2008–2009, the index remained elevated until the next crisis in 2014, with the gap between non-financial corporations lending to GDP remaining positive. However, before the crisis of 2014–2016, there has been an expansion of cyclical financial risks. During 2017–2023, Ukraine was facing two crises: an economic one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a political one related to the russian invasion. The Financial Cycle Index did not predict the accumulation of cyclical systemic risks before these crises, but indicated an increase in risks since 2019. After the russian invasion Ukrainian economy suffered a sharp downturn, but the banking system withstood the test, providing liquidity and continuing lending operations. In general, the results indicate the need for an individual approach to the analysis and management of cyclical financial risks, taking into account the specifics of each country, its context, and the particularities of the financial sector.

Decentralized Finance: Principles of Functioning, Infrastructure, Risks (p. 289 - 304)
The article analyzes the differences between centralized and decentralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency market. The author notes the impact of bankruptcies of centralized representatives who provided services in the cryptocurrency market on the interaction of users with decentralized finance instruments. The publication considers the key representatives of decentralized finance, their capitalization, available capital, and technological developments. It substantiates the advantages and risks of using decentralized finance instruments and studies the differences between centralized, decentralized, and algorithmic stablecoins. To assess the capitalization of decentralized finance instruments, the asset value indicator TVL (Total Value Locked) is used. TVL represents the amount of assets currently placed in a particular decentralized finance instrument or protocol. The RWA narrative is significant in the crypto space as it demonstrates increased interconnectedness. DeFi, previously isolated from TradFi, has now become an integral part of a more holistic financial ecosystem. Blockchain technology has demonstrated its potential for transformation through real-world use cases. Real-world assets (RWAs) are an attractive option due to the large traditional finance market. While they offer benefits such as portfolio diversification and enhanced returns, it is crucial to mitigate default risk. Platforms like Goldfinch have a proven track record. Tokenizing RWAs can increase market participation and financial inclusivity. The study's results indicate significant development of decentralized finance instruments over the past three years. This is evidenced by the amount of capital invested in these instruments and the number of users, despite the technological and regulatory risks associated with them. The study's conclusions indicate that despite the technological novelty, users are increasingly interested in interacting with decentralized finance instruments. However, users face difficulties in understanding how these instruments work and in gaining experience with these products. The comparative analysis by Saif Ahmed Abdulhakeem and Qiuling Hu titled "CeFi vs. DeFi — Comparing Centralized to Decentralized Finance" systematically contrasts Centralized Finance (CeFi) with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) across legal, economic, security, privacy, and market manipulation dimensions. It aims to provide a structured approach for distinguishing between CeFi and DeFi services, emphasizing DeFi's transparency and user control advantages. However, unresolved issues in decentralized finance, such as regulatory frameworks and risk assessment, necessitate further research. The study also underscores the importance of improving user experience design and overcoming adoption challenges for DeFi. In their academic discourse titled "Powered by Blockchain Technology, DeFi (Decentralized Finance) Strives to Increase Financial Inclusion of the Unbanked by Reshaping the World Financial System," Abdulhakeem and Hu analyze DeFi's potential to enhance financial inclusion for the unbanked. They highlight the pivotal role of blockchain, particularly Ethereum, in enabling DeFi. While acknowledging DeFi's decentralization benefits, the article suggests it as a complement rather than a replacement for traditional finance. It advocates for future research on integrating DeFi with global banking systems and improving user interface and security. Overall, while recognizing DeFi's transformative potential, the article underscores the need for ongoing research to address challenges and integrate DeFi into mainstream finance seamlessly.

Determinants of the Low Level of Development of the Life Insurance Market in Ukraine (p. 305 - 315)
The aim of the study is to find a correlation between indicators such as average wages and gross insurance premiums in the life insurance industry. The purposes of the research are: determination of the main determinants that affect the development of the life insurance market over a twenty-year period, search for the main reasons for the low level of life insurance in Ukraine. The methods of research in this publication are the methods of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction for a comprehensive consideration of the reasons for the low level of development of life insurance in Ukraine, individual provisions of the research are supplemented by methods of economic and correlational analysis. It is found that during the period of its formation, the insurance market of Ukraine in the field of life insurance went through several stages of its formation and continues to be formed and improved. It is determined that in 2022, the share of gross life insurance premiums in GDP equaled 0.09%, which is a very low indicator compared to developed foreign markets. This indicates the weak development of this type of insurance due to a number of reasons. A retrospective analysis of scientific publications and research over a twenty-year period showed that one of the reasons for the low level of development of life insurance is the low income of potential customers of the insurance company, which was indicated by a large number of publications. Since the salary is the main type of income of our compatriots, it is assumed that its level affects the volume of gross insurance premiums. To test this hypothesis, a correlation coefficient of 0.965 was defined. This indicates a direct relationship between wages and gross insurance premiums. The correlation coefficient is determined based on statistical information on average wages and gross life insurance premiums over a twenty-year period. Therefore, it can be predicted that the determinant of the growth of the life insurance market will be the increase in wages of potential consumers of insurance services in real terms. Further research in the field of the life insurance market will concern the forecasting of the salary level of potential consumers of insurance services, at which the volumes of life insurance will be growing.

Adaptation of the Financial Planning and Budgeting System to the Modern Model of University Development (p. 316 - 322)
The aim of the article is to develop an adapted system of financial planning and budgeting to the modern model of university development, focused on achieving strategic development priorities in the context of expanding the financial autonomy of higher education institutions (HEIs). On the basis of the above defined aim, the following tasks were performed: a critical analysis of literary sources was carried out from the position of identifying traditional and results-based approaches to university budgeting; the traditional model of financial planning and budgeting of the university is defined; a system of financial planning and budgeting adapted to the modern model of university development was elaborated. The work uses such research methods as analysis, synthesis, systematization, coefficient and visualization methods for the development of both the traditional and the adapted system of financial planning and budgeting. The main results of the study are: definition of the traditional model of financial planning and budgeting of the university, explanation of the relationship between its components, substantiation of its ineffectiveness in the conditions of transition to a new economic model of university development, focused on expanding financial autonomy. The specified hypothesis became the basis for the development of an adapted system of financial planning and budgeting, which is based on orientedness towards results, achievement of strategic priorities for the development of higher education institutions, identification of responsibility centers responsible for the diversification and growth of budget revenues, with the simultaneous opportunity to participate in their distribution for motivation personnel potential, creation of comfortable working conditions along with an appropriate material and technical support. This approach integrates all types of financial planning in an integrated manner, while strategic financial planning as a vector of the university’s development is based on it. The results of the study are more relevant for public universities.

Financial System of Ukraine: Structure and Essence (p. 178 - 186)
The article examines the theoretical grounds for the formation and functioning of the financial system of Ukraine as a totalty of spheres and links through which the accumulation, distribution and redistribution of both centralized and decentralized funds of financial resources is carried out. The approaches of domestic and foreign scientists have been studied, significant differences in the interpretation of the concept of «financial system» have been identified. The studied category was not widely used abroad, it was considered superficially and was mostly identified with the concept of «finance». Domestic experience shows the similarity of the authors’ opinions in interpretation, defining such keywords as: specific relations, a set of funds and links and/or spheres and markets. There is a more or less unanimous opinion that the main purpose of the financial system is the formation, distribution and redistribution, as well as the regulation and use of centralized and decentralized funds of financial resources for the purpose of concluding financial transactions, exchanging assets and risks, with the ultimate goal of meeting economic and social needs. The article presents the author’s own interpretation of the concept of «financial system», which accumulates different approaches of scientists. An analysis of keywords describing the financial system has been carried out and a corresponding map has been formed. The organizational and legal structure of the financial system, which is updated in accordance with the present day, is provided; the objects are divided into five categories, which are related to the types and spheres of relations, which makes it possible to outline the subjects of one or another level in accordance with the structure of the system. The subjects that regulate the financial system of the country have been allocated. The main regulators and tools used to ensure the functioning, sustainability and stability of the system are considered. The role of legislative bodies and their powers in making decisions and laws that can influence the financial system are considered.

Inflation as a Measure of Independence of Central Banks (p. 187 - 198)
The aim of the article is to study the process of formation of the modern paradigm of independence of central banks, determine the role of inflation in it, outline the criteria for independence and determine the dynamics of legal indicators of autonomy of monetary institutions. It is noted that the impetus for changes in relations between governments and central banks of many industrialized countries was the episodes of high inflation in the 1970s. Awareness of the problem of the time discrepancy between the short-term perspective of political decisions and their long-term impact on the economy provoked institutional changes in the status of monetary institutions. They envisaged the prioritization of central banks’ activities to ensure a consistently low level of inflation and provide independence to achieve it. It is also noted that in countries with economies in transition, the tendency to separate central banks into an independent institution was implemented during the 1990s. The criteria for the independence of central banks are determined by legislation and their charters. These usually include the following: isolation of central bank leadership from political pressure; prohibition to give instructions to central banks in the conduct of monetary policy; a clearly defined purpose of monetary policy; restrictions on lending to government programs and budget deficits. In addition to the formally defined independence, there is also the actual independence of central banks, which is usually outlined through the index of management turnover of monetary institutions and its correlation with the inflation rate. But this does not take into account other (exogenous) factors that affect the inflation rate, which makes the studies less relevant. In addition, the construction of any indices includes an arbitrary weight value of each of them, which reflects the sensitivity of the results obtained depending on their composition. As noted in the study, instead of a static analysis of the indicators of independence of central banks, it is more expedient to determine their modification from the beginning of the formation of the modern paradigm of independence to the present day. The analysis showed that since the beginning of the 1970s, most of the countries studied have changed the rules prohibiting central banks from financing (in any form) the budget deficit. At the same time, obstacles to interference in monetary policy were established. This suggests that the change in these criteria had the greatest impact on the downward trend in the level and volatility of inflation in the period under study.

Bank Liquidity: Essence, Factors of Influence and Methods of Assessment (p. 199 - 206)
Liquidity is the basis for the successful functioning of a bank. Loss of liquidity leads to a loss of solvency and, as a result, to an unsustainable financial condition of the bank. Today, special attention is paid to ensuring the liquidity of both an individual bank and the banking system as a whole. The article discusses theoretical approaches to the essence of the concept of «bank liquidity». As a result of the analysis, the main features of the bank’s liquidity have been allocated, namely: the ability to fulfill obligations in a timely manner and meet the needs for funds; balance between the terms and amounts of repayment of placed assets and the terms and amounts of fulfillment of the bank’s obligations; meeting the needs of solvent customers and fulfilling balance sheet and off-balance sheet obligations; ensuring solvency and fulfillment of payment obligations; providing loans and ensuring the protection of customers. The strategy of management of the bank’s assets is considered, its advantages and disadvantages are substantiated. External and internal methods for assessing the bank’s liquidity are presented, their essence and features of application are considered. The main internal factors that determine the liquidity of banking institutions are classified as follows: the structure of the resource base; adequacy of the bank’s equity; balance of the bank’s assets and liabilities by terms and amounts and in the context of individual currencies; financial results of the bank’s activities.

The Cognitive Biases Related to Information and Their Manifestation in the Financial Market (p. 207 - 213)
The article analyzes the impact of cognitive biases regarding the perception of information and its consequences for the decisions of market participants and the formation of the overall picture of the financial market. It is noted that a number of cognitive biases are associated with the circulation of information in the market and the peculiarities of its perception. The main cognitive biases regarding the perception of information in the financial market have been identified: bias of disseminated information (in the context of financial decision-making and market dynamics can lead to an increase in the impact of this information on market decisions); the oddity effect (investors may react emotionally to such events, leading to sharp fluctuations in asset prices, panic or euphoria in the market, depending on the nature of these events); generation effect (investors can better remember and more reliably perceive information that they themselves have created or expressed, compared to information they have received from other sources); Google effect (due to the ease of obtaining information on the Internet, investors may become less cautious about storing key financial data in their memory); the disinformation effect (investors may receive new information after they have already formed their opinion about a particular financial event or trend, and this new information may lead to misinterpretation or overestimation of the facts that have occurred); sentiment effect (investors who are in a positive mood may pay more attention to positive information, which can lead to more optimistic investment decisions); the effect of complexity of information processing (investors can remember and better understand complex and in-depth analyses that require more time and attention to process); information bias (investors may be inclined to constantly monitor news, updates, and analysis, even if this information does not have a direct impact on their current or future investment decisions); the effect of «hostile» media (investors can react to financial news and analysis according to their own biases). It is noted that in order to avoid the negative consequences of cognitive biases in the financial market, it is important to develop financial literacy, the ability to think critically and have self-control in the process of making financial decisions.

The Role of Local Budgets in the Restoration of Regional Development (p. 214 - 221)
Local budgets have become of particular importance for the development of the regions of Ukraine in the context of the functioning of a decentralized system of government management. During this period, both the mechanisms for regulating the economic development of the regions and the powers of local self-government bodies (LSGB) have changed. Especially during the period of full-scale russian military aggression, local self-government bodies took on the role of the financial and social basis of communities and regions. Actively supporting residents and military personnel affected by the attacks of russian aggression, local self-government bodies organize shelter for internally displaced persons, provide employment, and support for relocated businesses. Among the regional development priorities specified in the State strategy for regional development remain: economic growth, competitiveness, building up jobs, improving employment conditions, and financial recovery of regions. Therefore, topical issues in the languages of martial law are the use of a complex of anti-crisis instruments that are adaptive in nature to restore regional development. The purpose of the study is to systematize the theoretical and methodological foundations of local budget planning and to disclose their role in recovering regional development using practical financial instruments under martial law. To date, the use of modern anti-crisis financial instruments will allow local governments to create conditions for: restoring the economic situation in regions and communities; increasing employment in communities by creating new jobs; opening new or modernizing existing and relocated business; support for entrepreneurship programs in the communities of the region.

Financial Capacity of Territorial Communities in the Context of Ensuring the Socioeconomic Development (p. 221 - 229)
The aim of the article is to determine the economic essence of the financial capacity of territorial communities and to clarify its role in ensuring social and economic development. The article discusses approaches to the economic essence of the financial capacity of territorial communities. The authors disclose the essence of this economic category as the ability of a territorial community to form the amount of budget revenues, which is sufficient and adequate to the expenditure part of the budget, from which the list of public goods and services defined by law, which meet the established national standards and criteria, is financed; also to promote the processes of socioeconomic development of the community. The structure of financial resources of the territorial community is considered. It is determined that it is local taxes and fees that ensure the financial autonomy of local self-government bodies (LSGB). The need to strengthen the fiscal sustainability of the budgets of territorial communities as an element of ensuring their financial capacity is substantiated. One of the directions of implementation of this is to increase the fiscal significance of the property tax by improving the mechanism of its administration. The main determinants of ensuring the socioeconomic development of territories have been identified, the main place among which belongs to financial instruments. The relationship between the financial capacity of territorial communities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which can be achieved at the local level, is studied. With the help of the Ishikawa diagram, measures to achieve SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) are allocated, including stimulating the employment, ensuring the sustainable growth of the gross regional product, increasing the production efficiency and creating the financial opportunities for economic self-realization in relation to the financial capacity of the territorial community. It is noted that the use of financial preferences in order to stimulate economic activity in a territorial community can in some way reduce its financial capacity in the current period, but is aimed at increasing it in the medium and long term and strengthens the fiscal sustainability of local budgets.

The State of Financial Security of Ukrainian Households During the Wartime (p. 230 - 237)
The aim of the article is to study the current state of financial security of domestic households in the conditions of wartime. The study of the financial security of households during the wartime period is a relevant topic due to the increased financial difficulties under the influence of hostilities. This paper considers the issue of assessing the financial security of households in the context of wartime. Assessing financial security in conflict settings is crucial for effective financial management and maintaining the financial stability of households. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars, the essence of the concept of «financial security of households» was considered, as well as a list of external and internal threats to the financial security of households in the current conditions of wartime along with economic and political instability was provided. The publication uses a variety of methods and tools to assess the financial condition of households. The analysis of such financial indicators as: real GDP, GDP per capita at PPP, HDI, average and minimum wages, the level of pensions, as well as the relationship between them, household income and expenditure, unemployment rate, is carried out. The impact of the ongoing war on the financial capabilities and stability of households is studied. The results obtained allow us to conclude that there is a need to improve financial planning and financial management at the household level during the wartime. This will help ensure financial stability and an appropriate response to the negative impact of the military conflict on the financial well-being of families, and most importantly, increase the level of financial security of domestic households. Prospects for further research in this direction are the study of foreign experience in ensuring the financial stability of households, where much attention is paid to personal finance planning as an effective method of ensuring financial security.

The Impact of Blockchain Technology on the Financial Sector of the Global Economy (p. 258 - 264)
The aim of the article is to highlight the importance and relevance of blockchain technology for the financial sector of the global economy, as well as to find out how blockchain technology affects security and reliability in the financial sector, simplifying the processes of exchanging assets and making transactions; emphasizing the importance of blockchain technology in improving the settlement system, reducing time, and increasing market liquidity. With rapid technological development, the role of blockchain technology is growing as a key factor determining new directions for the financial sector. Since its emergence as the foundation for cryptocurrencies, blockchain has quickly evolved from an alternative concept to a powerful tool that has the potential to change the paradigm of how financial services work. Outdated methods of providing financial services have long been in need of revision. Challenges such as data entry into various systems and manual processing of information are becoming increasingly common in the financial sector. The centralized model is becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, as all data is concentrated in one place. Consequently, to date, outdated methods of information systems and the workload of paper documents in the financial sector have proven to be not only ineffective, but also vulnerable to security risks. These problems arise from deficiencies in centralized systems that store and process sensitive information. Lack of transparency, the possibility of errors, and suspicion about security are obstacles to the effective functioning of financial institutions. To solve these problems and improve processes, it is necessary to move towards digital innovations that promote collaboration, increase trust, independence and ensure a high level of security. One of the most promising technologies that meets these requirements is blockchain, which is based on a distributed data storage system and cryptographic principles, which can provide a high level of security, transparency, and authenticity of information. It avoids intermediaries by allowing direct collaboration between participants, and it also makes it possible to store and transmit data in a secure environment without the risk of their modification.

Fiscalization: EU versus Ukraine (p. 264 - 270)
The aim of the article is to reveal the content and tools of fiscalization, to outline the foreign experience of fiscalization of the tax process and to assess the current state of the fiscalization procedure in Ukraine, to clarify its national specifics. Fiscalization of cash payments through the use of registrars of settlement transactions is becoming increasingly popular. The latest technologies simplify control and potentially facilitate and reduce the cost of the tax administration process. Digitalization as a process of using digital technologies in document management has become an information-technological prerequisite for fiscalization. The use of registrars of settlement transactions, especially software registrars of settlement transactions, simplifies doing business for economic entities. In particular, the use of cloud technologies makes it possible to turn any computer or smartphone into a «virtual» registrar of settlement transactions. After all, the most common argument against general fiscalization is the economic one, i. e. the cost of equipment and the cost of its maintenance. The article compares the functional features of hardware registrar of settlement transactions and software registrar of settlement transactions. The dynamics of the use of various modifications of registrars by entrepreneurs is analyzed. It is found that recently preference has been given to software registrars of settlement transactions, because according to experts, the operating costs of hardware registrars are almost three times higher than those of software registrars. The resumption of liability for violation of the procedure for making payments for goods (services) has created additional risks for business in the form of penalties. As result, it is determined that fiscalization should be considered in the context of anti-corruption tax reform, which is aimed at simplifying and reducing the cost of doing business for bona fide business entities, aligning the rules of the game. Fiscalization helps to reduce tax evasion and reduce the share of the shadow economy. In Ukraine, the shadow economy is mostly associated with small business, as it is more difficult to control and often does not keep full records. The argument in favor of fiscalization is the reduction of abuse of the simplified taxation system as a result of control over sales volumes. Registrars of settlement transactions can be effectively used to prevent trade in smuggled goods, in particular for customs post-audit.

Modern Realities of Functioning of Ukrainian Insurance Market (p. 270 - 276)
The aim of the article is to evaluate the indicators of the insurance market of Ukraine as part of the financial sector, analyze the patterns of its development and determine the impact of full-scale military operations on its dynamics. Analyzing trends in the development of the insurance market of Ukraine its active recovery in 2023 was noted as evidenced by an increase in gross premiums by 18.7% and the number of concluded insurance contracts by 7.6% compared to 2022. The article evaluates the structure of the financial sector of Ukraine, defines the place and role of the insurance market. It is revealed that the financial sector of Ukraine is dominated by banking institutions which have increased the volume of their assets over the past 7 years more than 2 times, at the same time, the insurance sector has increased its portfolio of assets by only 29.4%. An analysis of the depth of the insurance market was carried out through the indicator of the level of insurance penetration the value of which reaches 0.8% at the end of 2022. It is noted that in Ukraine, unlike the developed countries of the world, the insurance market is characterized by the dominance of risk insurance companies, the size of their assets significantly exceeds the assets of life-insurers. Along with that, during 2021–2023 life insurance companies have significantly increased their asset portfolios. Quantitative parameters of the insurance market of Ukraine were monitored and it was found that insurers receive the most premiums from automobile types of insurance – about 50% of all premiums, personal types of insurance provide slightly less than 30% of premiums. A list of conditions that would allow insurance companies to more effectively meet the requirements of consumers of insurance services is given. Prospects for further research in this direction are the study of theoretical and empirical aspects of the relationship between the indicators of the insurance market and economic growth.

Assessing the Independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund (p. 277 - 290)
According to the Key Principles of Effective Deposit Insurance Systems, an important guarantee of the proper functioning of deposit insurance is the independence of the deposit insurance body. The aim of the study is to develop a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund. The methods used in the study are the calculation of the composite indicator, the use of scores, analysis and synthesis. The publication formulates the criteria for the independence of the Natural Persons Deposits Guarantee Fund by its components: institutional independence – the term for which the managing director is appointed, the term for which the members of the administrative council are appointed, the requirements for the managing director when appointing to the position, the requirements for the members of the administrative council when appointing to the position, the procedure for appointing the managing director, the procedure for dismissing the managing director, the procedure for appointing members of the administrative council, the procedure for terminating the powers of the members of the administrative council, the conditions for the dismissal of the managing director, the conditions for terminating the powers of the members of the administrative council, the membership of directors in political parties, the ownership of corporate rights by managers; operational independence – regulation-making activities, judicial immunity of the Fund, requirements for avoiding conflicts of interest, prohibition to interfere in the activities of the Fund, international activities of the Fund, access to bank secrecy, administrative powers; financial independence – formation of internal organizational structure, sources of funding, budgeting, financial control procedure. In the context of improving the institutional independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, it is proposed to increase the term for which the managing director and members of the administrative board are appointed; to refer the issue of appointment and dismissal of the managing director of the Fund to the competence of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the proposal of the President of Ukraine; to regulate the membership of the Fund’s directors in political parties; to include independent members in the administrative board of the Fund. In order to strengthen operational independence, it is important to provide the Deposit Guarantee Fund with the right of legislative initiative, as well as access to bank secrecy. Improving the financial independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund requires increasing the level of independence of financial control, as well as reducing the risk of non-repayment of the Fund’s debt to the State.

Diagnostics and Assessment of the Impact of Financial and Economic Crises on the Development of the Banking System of Ukraine (p. 315 - 322)
The aim of the article is to develop the theoretical foundations for diagnosing and assessing the impact of financial and economic crises on the stability of functioning of the banking system of Ukraine. The article identifies the main financial and economic crises from 1998 to 2022, as well as assesses the consequences of their impact on the banking system of Ukraine. The main causes of financial and economic crises have been systematized, it has been found that an effective instrument for counteracting the consequences of financial and economic crises on the banking system of Ukraine is the introduction by the National Bank of Ukraine of the inflation targeting regime to maintain the stability of the Hryvnia. The dynamics of changes in the NBU discount rate for 2014–2023 is studied and the NBU’s application of restrictive policy measures in 2015, 2018 and 2022, as well as expansionary policy measures in 2020 to financially stabilize the banking system is verified. It is proved that changes in the NBU discount rate directly affect the cost of loans and deposits. The structure is assessed and the balance of payments of the country for 2015–2022 is calculated, the excess of imports over exports is determined, also determined is the existing deficit of the balance of payments, which leads to a decrease in the country’s foreign exchange reserves, the outflow of currency from the country and the devaluation of the Hryvnia in general. It is proved that during the periods of financial and economic crises there is an increase in the profitability of the NBU. An assessment of the indicators of financial stability of the banking system has been provided and the main trends in their changes over the past five years have been diagnosed (currency exchange rate stability, structure of banking resources, financial results of banks and their compliance with prudential standards, settlements of the NBU with the State Budget of Ukraine, obligations to the IMF, business activity, financial stability, liquidity, solvency of banks, etc.). The article identifies and substantiates the key problems of functioning and development of the banking system of Ukraine, taking into account the destructive consequences of financial and economic crises, also further prospects for research on the chosen topic of scientific work are outlined.

Evolution of the Role and Functions of Commercial Banks in the Economic System: A Theoretical and Historical Approach (p. 323 - 331)
The aim of the article is to deepen and develop the scientific foundations of the evolution of the functions and role of commercial banks in the economic system through the transformation of the essence of banking activities and the emergence of new financial instruments in historical retrospective. The article summarizes scientific approaches to describing the evolution of the functions of commercial banks in historical retrospective; the essence of the transformation of banking activity due to growing risks and competition in financial markets is disclosed; an extended list of functions of commercial banks in today’s conditions is provided; the dynamics of the number of commercial banks in the leading countries of the world and countries with emerging markets is analyzed; tendencies and prospects for the development of banking and functions of commercial banks in the context of globalization of the economy and the introduction of novel digital financial instruments are substantiated. A functional analysis of the role and importance of commercial banks in the economic system for the period from the 16th century AD to the present is carried out. It is emphasized that in modern conditions banks are turning into institutions for servicing speculative flows. At the same time, the main function of commercial banks – lending to the real sector of the economy – begins to fade into the background due to low profitability. The essence of banking activity and features of new functions of banks over the past 25 years are disclosed. It is emphasized that computerization and financial innovations have significantly changed the ways of functioning of commercial banks. These processes made it possible to introduce new forms of service and types of banking products, improve bank management, collect and process large amounts of statistical information, and expand the scope of activities of large banks beyond national borders. It is proved that the timeliness and continuity of saturation of the economy with monetary resources is influenced not only by the number of commercial banks, but also by the mechanism for ensuring solvency and effective redistribution of cash flows between owners of funds and recipients of credit resources – both individual banks and the banking system as a whole. Proposals on the role and importance of commercial banks for the economy, based on their ability to increase the efficiency of the functioning of the economic system, have been substantiated. The essence of the transformation function of banks is that, transforming the space, size, terms, risks, illiquid assets into liquid liabilities, liquidity, purchasing power, information, banks play an important role in the State, as it allows to reduce risks in the economic system and social costs. Prospect for further research in this direction is to determine the impact of transformation of the role and functions of commercial banks on the macro-financial stability of the State and global financial markets.

Ukrainian Realities of Sovereign Debt Restructuring through the Lens of Historical Retrospect (p. 371 - 378)
Geopolitical challenges and socioeconomic upheavals, which intensified as a result of the armed military aggression unleashed by the russian federation, significantly complicated the process of forming the revenue part of the State budget and caused a significant increase in public expenditures, which led to a budget deficit and the inability of Ukraine to service its sovereign debt obligations in the form of Eurobonds. Therefore, there was a need to restructure sovereign debt obligations. The problem statement of the article includes determining the prerequisites and evaluating the prospects of restructuring Ukraine's sovereign debt obligations in wartime conditions. The aim of the article is to highlight the retrospective, current trends and to assess the prospects for reaching agreements with creditors in the process of restructuring sovereign debt obligations on favorable terms for the economy of Ukraine. General scientific and special methods are used: dialectical, system, comparative, historical, statistical, method of grouping, expert evaluations, predictions. The essence and significance of the restructuring of sovereign debt obligations in the external State debt management system is revealed. Attention is focused on the peculiarities of the restructuring of sovereign debt obligations in the conditions of wartime. The retrospective of the formation of approaches to restructuring during geopolitical disasters is analyzed. The foreign experience is systematized and the best practice of sovereign debt management is summarized. The prospects for the restructuring of sovereign debt obligations on favorable terms for the economy of Ukraine are substantiated. It is proved that geopolitical upheavals, such as wars, revolutions and the collapse of empires, are usually accompanied by significant write-offs of foreign debts. Historically, it has been confirmed that during wars and revolutions, the average discount (write-off) of the current value of the debt during restructuring reaches 98%. It is emphasized that the Government of Ukraine needs to reach the agreement of creditors regarding the write-off of 60% to 98% of the external debt in accordance with the best practices in the field of sovereign debt restructuring.

Budget Support for Public-Private Partnership Projects: Realities of Global and Ukrainian Practices (p. 378 - 385)
The article substantiates the need to intensify partnerships between public authorities (local self-government) and entrepreneurial entities for the modernization or construction of infrastructure facilities. It is argued that the effectiveness of the implementation of these projects requires the financial participation of the State. The aim of the study is to reveal the best achievements of world experience in the field of providing budget support for partnership projects of both the State and business, as well as to provide recommendations for its effective implementation in Ukraine in order to increase the investment attractiveness of such projects. The results of the analysis of the current practice of implementing public-private partnership projects indicate the active use of public lending, the provision of both the State and municipal guarantees, yet they demonstrate a low level of budget investment. The main types of budget support for partnership projects of the State and business in Ukraine are disclosed: provision of guarantees either on the part of the State or local authorities; financing at the expense of either the State or local budgets; payment to the private partner of payments provided for by the PPP agreement; acquisition by a public partner of a certain amount of goods (works, services) produced (performed, provided) by a private partner, etc. The restrictive influence of the implementation of budget support in Ukrainian practice over a long period of time, which is due to short- and medium-term budget planning, is indicated. It is found that the legislative regulation of budgetary relations in the field of implementation of partnership projects did not contribute to their investment attractiveness. Attention of the article is focused on the expediency of increasing the efficiency of the implementation of these projects in the context of ensuring the financial participation of the State by: implementation of a thorough feasibility study of projects; involvement of members of the public in their development; establishment of sanctions for non-fulfillment of financial obligations by the State partner (fines, penalties); legislative regulation of the boundaries of budget support for PPP projects in accordance with a certain type of its implementation; ensuring transparency in the implementation of budget support for PPP projects; insurance of the financial obligations of the State partner; carrying out control actions in the process of determining the efficiency of budget financing of projects. It is summarized that such measures will make it possible to restore infrastructure facilities, in particular in the process of post-war reconstruction.

Financial Provision of Sustainable Development of Territorial Communities of Ukraine as a Factor of Real Decentralization of Post-War Recovery (p. 385 - 393)
The aim of the article is to assess the current state and determine the prospects for financial provision for sustainable development of territorial communities of Ukraine in the context of decentralization for the medium-term period of post-war recovery. The article generalizes the legislative grounds for Ukraine’s provision of the Sustainable Development Goals and the need to take them into account in the development of forecast documents; an analysis of the composition and structure of local budget revenues, their share in consolidated budget revenues and GDP for 2019–2023 is carried out; on the basis of expert assessments, the influence of formal rules on the formation of revenues of local budgets, in particular tax ones, is determined; tendencies and prospects of financial provision of sustainable development of territorial communities of Ukraine for the medium term are substantiated. Based on the analysis of the composition and structure of local budget revenues, a reduction in the share of local budget revenues in consolidated budget revenues (excluding transfers) and in GDP has been identified. This trend reached its maximum value in 2023 and is primarily due to a reduction in the volume of interbudgetary transfers. Taking into account the significant burden on the State budget regarding the financing of the defense function of the State and servicing the public debt, the assumption that the trend towards reducing the volume of interbudgetary transfers for the next 3–5 years remains is substantiated. It is proved that the main budget-forming taxes for the formation of own revenues of local budgets are the personal income tax and the single tax. It is noted that the innovations proposed by the government regarding the administration of these taxes may lead to a reduction in revenues to local budgets in the medium term. Scenarios of tax revenues to local budgets are modeled according to various options for changing the base and rates of budget-forming taxes, and the importance of empowering local self-government bodies to influence the process of their administration, as proposed in the National Revenue Strategy 2030, is emphasized. Proposals on the expediency of using local borrowings and local guarantees as sources of additional revenues of local budgets have been substantiated, having previously assessed potential risks regarding the possibility of effective management of local borrowings and taking them into account in the development of long-term budget forecasts. Prospect for further research in this direction is the restoration of medium-term planning of local budget revenues and, in the future, the transition to a long-term time horizon that will correspond to the process of implementing the requirements of the related EU directives.

Tax Control over Settlements with the Budget for Personal Income Tax (p. 394 - 401)
The article discusses the content, essence and main tasks of tax control. The main and secondary elements for the performance of tax control functions on the accrual and payment of personal income tax (PIT) have been determined. The key stages in the tax audit of the accrual and payment of personal income tax are analyzed; penalties and other types of responsibility for the identified violations are considered. The aim of the study is to review the current legislation on personal income taxation. This includes an analysis of laws, regulations, and guidelines governing the taxation of income at the individual level. In particular, the mechanisms of tax control are considered. Today, the personal income tax to the Consolidated Budget of Ukraine occupies one of the main places in the total amount of tax revenues (second only to revenues from VAT). Timely and complete formation of budget revenues, in which tax revenues occupy a decisive place, acquires special importance in the context of ensuring the financing of tasks and functions performed by the State authorities and local self-government. Ensuring proper tax control involves several key aspects. First, it is a systematic monitoring and analysis of taxpayers’ financial activities to identify possible violations and risks. Secondly, improving the legislative framework in order to eliminate gaps and ensure transparency of tax procedures. Thirdly, an important component is to increase financial literacy and awareness of citizens about their tax obligations and rights. The article examines the essence, content and tasks of tax control. The elements of tax control over the accrual and payment of personal income tax have been determined. The stages of tax audit of the accrual and payment of personal income tax, as well as liability and fines in case of violations are analyzed. In addition, possible ways to improve tax control were discussed, in particular, the introduction of modern information technologies to automate processes and reduce the human factor, which will contribute to improving the efficiency of the tax system as a whole.

The Investment Component of Tax Policy under Wartime (p. 402 - 413)
The aim of the article is to summarize scientific approaches to the investment component of the State’s tax policy and develop recommendations for the formation of an investment-friendly tax environment in Ukraine during the wartime. The article examines the relationship between investment and economic growth in the EU countries in 1992–2022. It is determined that investments are one of the drivers of economic growth. An analysis of the measures taken by the authorities of countries with developed and transforming economies to intensify investment flows is carried out. In particular, considerable attention is paid to tax instruments to stimulate investment. The main ones are: a) reduction of the tax burden in the field of capital taxation; b) use of investment tax incentives; c) improving the conditions for cross-border capital movements; d) provision of targeted tax benefits for the payment of other taxes – for example, social deductions for newly created jobs in compliance with the conditions established by the State. The features of investment processes during the wartime and intended for the post-war recovery are studied. For example, in Japan in the post-war period, the emphasis of the State policy was shifted in favor of attracting private investment to the country’s economy. This country successfully applied «technology transfer», while technological developments of the United States and European countries were imported for the development of the main branches of the national industry. In the post-World War II period, European states improved the institutional environment for attracting foreign investment, including deregulation of entrepreneurship and liberalization of trade relations. It is substantiated that due to the current significant needs for financing military operations, Ukraine cannot yet implement a system of investment tax benefits. It is determined that the priority measures of tax policy, which will contribute to increasing the confidence of economic agents and strengthening their investment activity, are the following: compliance with the stability and predictability of this policy, systematic measures in the field of de-shadowing the economy; simplification and further digitalization of the tax administration mechanism; transition to European taxation practices that will directly or indirectly promote investment in the innovative production.

Legislative Regulation and International Cooperation in Counteracting Corporate Tax Abuse (p. 413 - 420)
The aim of the article is to analyze the mechanisms and consequences of corporate tax abuse and the use of offshore companies for the global and national economy. The results of the study provide insights and recommendations for improving tax compliance, ensuring fair taxation and mitigating the negative im-pact of corporate tax abuse on economic and social development. The article discusses one of the most important problems of the modern global economy – the abuse of corporate taxes. This issue is becoming increasingly relevant due to factors such as globalization, the development of the digital economy, and the growing importance of intangible assets. Abuse of corporate taxes leads to significant losses in government revenues, which reduces the ability of governments to finance key social services and infra-structure projects. This, in turn, exacerbates economic inequality and undermines social welfare. In the face of increased international competition for tax revenue, multinationals use sophisticated aggressive tax planning schemes, including offshore zones and tax havens, to minimize their tax liability. This practice requires effective regulation and coordination at the international level. The article analyzes modern legislative initiatives and measures aimed at counteracting tax abuse, such as the General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) and the Special Anti-Avoidance Rules (SAAR). Particular attention is paid to the role of international cooperation, including projects of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union (EU), in increasing tax transparency and preventing the movement of profits. The relevance of the study is emphasized by the need for continuous improvement of tax legislation and the introduction of the latest technologies to detect and prevent tax evasion.

The Military and Political Risk Insurance as a Mechanism for Protecting Investments in the Ukrainian Economy (p. 421 - 427)
The aim of the article is to study the approaches to insurance against military and political risks, which are used in different countries of the world to protect investments, as well as to substantiate and assess the possibility of their implementation in Ukraine during the ongoing war. Analyzing and systematizing the scientific works of scholars, also generalizing the practical experience of international and foreign institutions, various options for the implementation of military and political risk insurance were consi-dered. As a result of the study, it is determined that, given the huge amount of damage caused by mili-tary operations, limited possibilities of the State-based financing and attraction of funds from interna-tional donors, the only option for protecting future investments in the economy of Ukraine can be insur-ance against military and political risks. Due to the difficulty of predicting these risks, the complexity in terms of assessing losses, as well as the high probability of their occurrence in Ukraine, the private in-surance business is not very interested in the development of such insurance. Operations for the provi-sion of guarantees and/or insurance in terms of military and political risks in Ukraine by international and foreign institutions, such as MIGA, DFC, USAID, KUKE, etc., are analyzed. It is determined that the main objects of guaranteeing or insurance are export-oriented sectors of the economy. For the most part, such protection applies only to certain foreign investments. The proposed steps by the government and the NBU to expand the functions of the Export Credit Agency (ECA) and create a State agency for military risks insurance are considered and analyzed in detail. Such a decision will lead to a conflict of interest, when both State institutions will compete in the same segment of the insurance market and struggle for a single source of funding either on the part of the State or international donors. Prospects for further research in this direction are the analysis of world experience in the field of insurance against military, political, terrorist, and disaster risks, especially regarding the mechanisms of rapid accumulation of funds and the creation of appropriate funds intended to compensate for the losses caused. A com-prehensive mechanism should involve all stakeholders: the State, international donors, international fi-nancial and insurance institutions, international insurance business, and domestic insurers.

The Role of Insurance Companies in the Financial Market of Ukraine (p. 428 - 434)
The aim of the article is to determine the place of insurance companies among financial intermediaries operating in the national financial market, and to theoretically substantiate their role in the institutional structure of the financial market. The article examines the main approaches to the interpretation of the category of «financial intermediaries», on the basis of which it is found that financial intermediaries are professional participants of the financial market, whose main activity is the provision of financial ser-vices to economic entities. They ensure efficient allocation of financial resources, risk mitigation, in-creased asset liquidity, and economies of scale. In addition, the main unifying features of financial in-termediaries are allocated, namely: accumulation and consolidation of financial resources; distribution and effective use of financial resources; reduction of financial risks; monitoring and information support; ensuring the liquidity of assets; increasing the efficiency of operations and minimizing costs; compliance with regulatory requirements and transparency of operations. The classification of financial in-termediaries by types of activity, by the model of cooperation with other financial institutions and by the nature of financial transactions is generalized. On the basis of the study, it is determined that the leading place in the financial market of Ukraine is occupied by banking institutions, but most scientists point to the strengthening of the role of non-bank financial institutions, in particular insurance companies. The latter in the financial market act not only as insurers and financial intermediaries, but also as financial investors, because they are assigned the following functions: accumulation of financial resources, redi-stribution of risks, stimulation of economic growth, provision of liquidity, formation of long-term in-vestments, reduction of economic uncertainty, introduction of innovations and stimulation of the devel-opment of the financial market.

The aim of the article is to study the ways of formation of insurance protection of enterprises and to de-velop a methodical approach to determining insurance costs depending on the chosen way of formation of insurance protection of enterprise against entrepreneurial risks. It is emphasized that the methods for determining the mentioned insurance costs will differ. The main ways of formation of insurance protec-tion (creation of own protection funds, appeal to an insurance company, use of comprehensive insurance) are allocated. It is noted that the organization of the enterprise’s own protection funds (self-insurance) is a process in which the enterprise creates internal reserves to cover potential losses instead of purchasing an insurance policy from a third-party insurance company. A methodical approach to determining the insurance costs for self-insurance and determining the optimal insurance coverage has been proposed (through the formalization of the target function and the introduction of a number of restrictions on the choice of allowable insurance coverage), the size of the reserve fund and the amount of the annual contribution to the organization of the own insurance protection funds. It is substantiated that the determination of the full cost of insurance protection of enterprise includes the determination of both direct costs (insurance premiums paid for insurance policies) and indirect costs (various types of costs that are not directly related to the payment of insurance premiums, but are necessary to ensure the effec-tive functioning of the insurance system). A brief description of possible indirect costs in the organiza-tion of insurance protection of enterprise is provided. It is substantiated that the enterprise, in addition to self-insurance and insurance in order to form the enterprise’s own program of insurance protection, can use comprehensive insurance, which covers a wide range of risks and provides protection against various dangers. The generalized stages of development and implementation of combined models for the formation of the program of insurance protection of enterprise and optimization of costs for it have been proposed.

Development of Neobanks in the World and in Ukraine (p. 357 - 364)
The development of modern technologies affects all spheres of human life. The growing popularity of neobanks, their dynamic development and spread in the world require their further study and research. The aim of the article is to outline the trends in the development of neobanks, their general features and features of activity, to identify the prospects for the development of neobanks and digital banking in Ukraine. The carried out study showed the dynamic development of neobanks in the world, which occurs regardless of the peculiarities of the emergence of players in the market. In the world, fintech companies and e-commerce giants are becoming significant competitors of banks, which often come to the sale of banking products having mastered other niches of the financial market. The concentration of neobanks by regions is considered, the reasons for the emergence and development of neobanks in Europe, in particular in the United Kingdom, are determined. The article also defines the peculiarities of the activities of neobanks in Ukraine, where they do not have an independent license for banking activities and operate on the basis of traditional banks, therefore they cannot be fully considered as independent structures compared to the vast majority of other countries. It is found that, despite the prospects and significant achievements of neobanks, their number in Ukraine has decreased. The reasons for these processes are analyzed and the factors influencing this are identified. It is shown that such a reduction in neobanks does not have a negative impact on the penetration and development of digital banking in the country, and traditional banks are actively introducing new solutions and services for the population and business through their mobile applications. The leading positions in digital banking are occupied by Monobank, which is a pioneer and undisputed leader in this area. It is found that a significant problem for neobanks and all digital banking both in Ukraine and around the world is serous DDoS attacks, the number of which is constantly growing. Therefore, significant efforts should be directed to countering such challenges, strengthening the protection of systems, preventive work and cyber hygiene.
