THE ROLE OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF INSTRUMENT-MAKING ENTERPRISES IN STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN INDUSTRY

One of the most important branches of domestic mechanical engineering is instrument-making, characterized by the broad involvement of science and technology, enterprises, the state, aimed at the production of electronic and optical products, equipment for measuring devices, automated control systems, etc. For many years, the domestic industry was 70-80 % dependent on imported equipment, components, machines, which requires the development of measures to ensure technological sovereignty in this area. The purpose of the article is to assess the role of foreign economic activity of instrument-making enterprises in structural changes in industry. To achieve this goal, the article solves the following tasks: domestic and foreign studies in the field of development of instrument-making and manufacturing industries are considered; The initial data of the study were structured using the Rosstat information bases; the structural shifts in the manufacturing industries were diagnosed based on the indicator «Goods and services shipped, billion rubles» using the following indicators: the mass of the structural shift in the industry, the index of the structural shift in the industry, the speed of the structural shift in the industry; the structure of product exports for the commodity group «Other machines, equipment and tools» was considered; the role of foreign economic activity of instrument-making enterprises in structural changes in the industry was assessed; directions for improving the development of instrument-making in the context of modern challenges aimed at ensuring the technological sovereignty of the country were proposed...
