Анотація

At the present stage, it is extremely important to ensure the economic security of the country, and this is what prompted the creation of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, which has undergone a complex development process over the years of its existence. The issue of ensuring Ukraine's economic security has become particularly relevant in connection with the ongoing military aggression and the introduction of martial law. The war creates new threats to the economic stability of the state, including physical destruction of infrastructure, a shortage of skilled labour, risks to food security, and challenges to the functioning of the national economy in conditions of ongoing military action. Under these circumstances, international support and the search for ways to adapt to new challenges in order to protect Ukraine's economic interests are becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this article is to examine the legal basis and prerequisites for the creation of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, analyse its activities and prospects for development at the present stage, and assess the future challenges and prospects that may arise for this body, which ensures the financial security of the state, given the macro and meso conditions of the current geopolitical situation. The analysis of the legal basis for the creation and functioning of the Economic Security Bureau as a body ensuring the financial security of the state was carried out through the analysis of a number of regulatory and legal acts and laws. For the purposes of the study, the authors used content analysis of legal scientific literature and statistical data on the activities of the ESB. The study analysed the prerequisites and stages of the creation of the ESB, the functional interaction of the ESB with other state bodies as an institution ensuring the financial security of the state, and analytical indicators of the ESB's activities in the state for 2023-2024. The authors paid particular attention to identifying the problems and challenges that arise in the activities of the ESB in the current conditions. This scientific study has identified a system of interaction between the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine and other state authorities. This finding is based on the results of a review and analysis of both legislative acts and subordinate regulatory documents. Based on the analysis conducted, it can be argued that the ESB is an important element of the system for protecting the economic interests of the state. However, despite the positive indicators in its work, this body, in the author understanding, faces a number of future challenges that require attention and effective solutions right now. In particular, these challenges include: staff shortages; insufficient employee qualifications; inefficient functioning; lack of adequate funding for the ESB's activities; imperfect implementation of analytical functions; lack of a network of territorial divisions; lack of tools for criminal prosecution of persons supplying raw materials from Russia; uncertainty regarding the ESB's interaction with taxpayers for the purpose of verifying information outside the scope of criminal proceedings; resistance from businesses and the public. To ensure its success, the ESB needs to strengthen its analytical capabilities, develop international co-operation and minimise corruption risks. Despite these challenges, the ESB has significant potential to ensure Ukraine's economic security.
