ASSESSMENT OF RUSSIA'S ECONOMIC SECURITY BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL BALANCE OF PAYMENTS

Abstract. Purpose: to solve the problem of identifying and subsequent quantitative analysis of an economic indicator that comprehensively determines, in the context of the economic security of the Russian Federation, the dependence of domestic industry on borrowed foreign technologies. Research methods: the desired indicator is proposed to establish the balance of the technological balance of payments of the Russian Federation, based on a quantitative analysis of long-term data, which is proposed to form a qualitative assessment of the economic security of the Russian Federation. Results and discussion: the results and analysis of data from the long-term statistical accounting of the technological balance of payments of the Russian Federation, including the amounts of payments for technology imports to the Russian Federation and the amounts of proceeds from technology exports from the Russian Federation, balanced by year, are presented. The coeffi cient of technological independence of Russia is calculated as the ratio of the amounts of proceeds from the export of technologies from the Russian Federation and the amounts of payments for the import of technologies into the Russian Federation, expressed as a percentage. Conclusion: the observed and increasing negative dynamics of the balance of technological payments of the Russian Federation substantiate: the position of the Russian Federation as a stable net importer in the technology economy and the increasing external threat to the economic security of the Russian Federation in terms of the declining internal technological provision of domestic industry with sovereign technologies. It is proposed to establish the balance of technological payments and the coeffi cient of technological independence of Russia by macroeconomic indicators, the state statistical monitoring of which will be included in the system of indicators determining the effectiveness of the strategy of scientifi c and technological development of Russia in aspects of economic security.
