Abstract. The strengthening of external shocks can have long-term negative consequences for the Russian economy, strengthening the de-industrial trend in it, which has been formed since the beginning of the market reforms that can lead to the consolidation of technological and social-and-economic backwardness and a long recession. Under such conditions, increasing resilience to external shocks should be structural in nature and take the form of a number of positive shifts in the reproductive, technological, and sectoral structure of the economy. The need to recreate the Russian industry on a new technological basis in the face of increasing sanctions and external restrictions requires an analysis of the neo-industrial transformation of the economy. In accordance with this goal, the article presents a typology of structural shifts under conditions of external shocks, including de-industrial and re-industrial (adaptive) anti-shifts, neo-industrial (anti-shock) shift. To achieve the research purpose, the methods of system-structural analysis, thesis and antithesis synthesis, deduction and comparison of hypotheses were used. The results of the study are aimed at creating the basis for the structural policy of the state taking into account realities of the increased external shocks and the need for neo-industrial development of the Russian economy.
Keywords: neo-industrialization, structural shift and anti-shift, structural policy, external shocks

♦ a typology of structural shifts in the economy has been developed, taking into account the need for neo-industrial development in the face of external shocks, and including de-industrial and re-industrial structural anti-shifts, neo-industrial shift; their factors and functions were determined;
♦ the anti-shock role of the neo-industrial structural shift was shown that was designed to serve as a guideline in the development of the state`s structural policy in the face of increased external shocks.
Abstract. The article reveals the historical experience of the formation of the planned system of the USSR, the founder of which was Stanislav Gustavovich Strumilin. He made a huge contribution to the theory of socialist planning; his works, written during the years of work in the USSR State Planning Committee, during the preparation of the first five-year plan, occupy an important place in the theoretical arsenal of national economic planning; the provisions formulated by S. G. Strumilin remain valid at the present time. Researchers of subsequent generations will return to his works on the theory of planning again and again.

Abstract. The role of commercial banks in the economic sphere is very high today. Globalization has not passed by this area, affecting the main activities of financial institutions, changing them beyond recognition over the past decade. Commercial banks, in turn, build their activities so that the needs of clients are realized. At this stage, it is important to note that the application of digital technologies creates some problems: low awareness of the population and illiteracy of the older generation, which give rise to fraud and opportunism; the introduction of new technologies should take place in a single and integral way, changes in only one cell can negatively affect the entire system as a whole; labor personnel should be ready for changes, because not all employees can accept novelty and get out of their own comfort zone. For a more detailed consideration of these issues, an analysis of the digitalization of the banking sector was carried out, its assessment at the present stage. Both the negative sides of the transformation factor, which means digitalization, and the positive ones are shown.

Abstract. The article deals with the issue of the effectiveness of the use of foreign investment resources to ensure economic development from the standpoint of the economic security theory. The necessity of assessing the impact of foreign investment on the main indicators of the economic security is noted. Based on the analysis of statistical data for 119 countries of the world, it is concluded that there is no real significant impact of foreign investment on the welfare, innovation and competitiveness of the national economy, as well as on human development. This conclusion is supported by the results of the analysis of the relationship between the dynamics of the main macroeconomic indicators and the dynamics of foreign investment in the Republic of Tajikistan as one of the countries where the investment policy involves the use of foreign investment as the main investment resource. To determine reasons for the lack of such a relationship, the analysis of the structure of foreign investments in Tajikistan is made and it is determined that investments are concentrated exclusively in the extraction of raw materials and financial intermediation, that does not involve the production of high-value products. It was also determined that in Tajikistan foreign investments do not go to priority sectors, the development of which determines the development of the economy as a whole and ensuring the economic security. The conducted SWOT-analysis of the impact of foreign investment on the economy of the Republic of Tajikistan showed that a large number of threats to the country`s economic security arise as a result of the infusion of foreign capital with a relatively low level of positive impact. It was concluded that it is necessary to make changes in the existing investment policy in order to ensure the neutralization of threats arising from the large-scale use of foreign investment, and to enhance the positive impact of their use.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of specific features of the execution of regional budgets in the current economic conditions in Russia. The importance of considering this issue is due to the fact that the subjects of the Russian Federation are forced to pursue their budgetary policy in crisis socio-economic conditions over the past few years. The COVID 19 pandemic, unfavorable foreign economic and political conditions in the form of expanding the Western sanctions against Russia have a negative impact on the state of regional finances. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to identify problems and prospects for further functioning of subfederal budgets in these economic circumstances. In the course of the study, it was revealed that many Russian regions, including the Samara region, despite the problem of ensuring a balanced budget, demonstrate sustainable development, increase the volume of budget revenues and expenditures. The problem of the deficit of regional budgets is largely solved thanks to various forms of financial support from the federal budget, among which a special role is given to budget loans.
