Based on the results obtained, the authors conclude that the structure of bank deposits of individuals should be used as an indicator of the level of confidence in the monetary unit, which in turn is a criterion of stability of the national currency.

The article has summed up the results of author`s studies aimed at solving problems related to the adoption of financial decisions. The authors suggest a methodological approach, in which the determining types of information flows are identified and theoretically substantiated by correlating classification sections according to two criteria of objectivity and accessibility of information. A typological grouping of the information space has been implemented, which makes it possible to disclose the dual nature of the investment behavior of the economic entity in correlation with its investment attractiveness and investment preferences.
The methodological problems of the information space estimation based on financial and extrabudget (non-financial) information are indicated. The article shows the necessity of forming a system of markers that take into account the dualistic nature of certain information (indicators) extracted from financial and extrabudget information that organically and significantly supplements the reasonableness and possibility of intragroup transformation of the generated typological map of the information space in the financial market, taking into account the systemic and dynamic interrelationship of different aspects of the organization`s activity.
The authors analyze the specialized literature, confirming that the availability of extrabudget information can be considered as a competitive advantage of the economic entity in the information space.
Keywords: information space, investment climate, extra-financial information, markers, competitive advantage.
