Modern society lives in the context of globalization, which, like any other socio-economic phenomenon, has not only positive aspects, but also carries very tangible dangers, one of which is that many of the geopolitical processes taking place in the world go far beyond the borders of states , acquire greater independence, and therefore uncontrollability. The country's economic security has received particular priority recently, at the end of the twentieth century. World economic problems affect Russia like no other country on our planet. This is due to the historical events of the last decade of the 20th century, it was at this time that the country's economy had to go through a difficult period of global reforms and a severe crisis.
In general, the need for security is the basic need of a person or a whole society and state. This term was known to people of the Middle Ages and has survived to this day without losing its primary meaning. In our country, the concept of security was used relatively rarely, for the first time the state security of Russia was mentioned in 1881 in the "Regulation on measures of public order", and the term "economic security of Russia" was first included in regulatory documents only in 1996. At the same time, the country adopted the strategy of economic security of the Russian Federation, and economic problems did not occupy the last place in the National Security Concept of 2000.
The country's economy is its most important characteristic. The better the economic situation of a country, the higher the standard of living of its population. Two fundamental characteristics of the economy of any state are security and sustainability. The more stable the country's economic system , the more viable it is, in which case the assessment of its security will be very high. The concepts of “economic security of Russia” and “sustainable development of the economy” are the most important conditions for the life of the country's society. The development of the economic system also has a positive effect on ensuring its security.
The economic security of Russia is a complex set of certain conditions and factors, which, in turn, are necessary to ensure the independence of the national economic system, its stability and stability, continuous development and improvement.
The economic security of the Russian Federation is characterized by the availability of necessary resources to maintain the living standards of the country's population at the current moment and in the near future. This term is often used in macroeconomics and implies the presence of production in a country in a state in which socio-economic stability and the process of economic development are ensured regardless of external factors.
The economic security of Russia consists of three main components:
- Employment security. One of the main responsibilities of the state is the need to ensure the population of their country the opportunity to engage in active labor in a safe environment for life and health.
- Preservation of solvency. The main gold reserve of the country, as you know, is concentrated in its central bank, or the treasury. The solvency of the state also depends on the level of its GDP, exports, and liquidity of the monetary currency.
- Future cash flow planning. Proper planning of cash flows ensures the stability of the economy and its development.
The economic security of Russia is part of the general system of state security and is considered along with its components such as ensuring defense capability, protection against disasters and environmental disasters, and maintaining a peaceful environment in society. Moreover, all components are interconnected. The country's high defense capability cannot be achieved with a weak economy, and a state torn apart by conflicts and wars cannot have a strong and developing economic system.
