The scientific novelty of the study lies in the assessment of the development of the private sector using complex econometric modeling based on several macroeconomic indicators at the same time. The practical significance of the results is manifested in the possibility of using them to improve the state's fiscal and investment policy, optimize entrepreneurship support mechanisms, and develop long-term economic forecasts.
