The development of open spaces and resources of the Black Sea is one of the main directions of the Black Sea region (the Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions). The essence of the region policy allows to cooperate with the most countries of the world community and brings an income both to the budget of the regions and to the state budget. Industrial fisheries is an extractive branch of the fishing industry that uses the natural resources of the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, reservoirs: various species of fish, marine mammals, shellfish, crustaceans and aquatic vegetation. Fisheries can be considered as one type of nature using which consists in the extraction of fish and other sea products (fish, invertebrates, algae, etc.). The purpose of the work was to find out a current state of fishing and extracting the living aquatic resources in the Black Sea region, namely in the Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. An assessment of a current state of extracting the aquatic bioresources in general and in the inland water bodies in the Black Sea region, namely in the Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for the period from 2010 to 2018, was carried out on the basis of specialized literature. The state of extracting the aquatic bioresources in general and in the inland water bodies from 2010 to 2018; the amount of caught fish in this region; the state of fisheries of the studied region were investigated. Fish farming is a branch of the national economy that is engaged in farming, increasing and improving a quality of the fish stocks in the water bodies and filling the fish resources. In order to maintain and increase the stocks of valuable industrial fish in our country the extensive measures for artificial fish farming, improving the conditions of natural reproduction of fish, as well as the development of lake and pond fisheries for the commercial fish production are being taken. Much work is being done to acclimatize valuable industrial fish species and other fishing objects, aimed at expanding a fish species composition and increasing the fish stocks. It was found that according to the statistics of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, the analysis of the exraction of fish and aquatic biological resources in the Black Sea region (Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions) showed that an increase in the volume of fish catching and extracting the living aquatic resources occurred only due to inland waters.

Different countries invest in the Ukrainian economy by investing in regional development programs, various enterprises and so on. Investments develop the Ukrainian economy by improving the economic environment, upgrading infrastructure, improving public authorities, improving the humanitarian situation, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, introducing resource and energy-saving technologies, strengthening human rights, training workers and more. It is extremely important to intensify foreign investment in the Black Sea (southern) Region. The study shows the importance of fiscal decentralization, which is often a weak or even absent link of decentralization. One of the most common problems of fiscal decentralization is the mismatch between the responsibilities of local governments and the resources available to local governments. Thus, a well-organized system of fiscal decentralization is vital to the success of the decentralization process. It was found that most foreign direct investment in Donetsk and Odessa regions, which indicates the development of investment attractiveness of the Black Sea region of Ukraine. But in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions there are less direct foreign investments that needs increase of investment attractiveness of the Black Sea Region of Ukraine. It is analyzed that the best indicators of capital investment in Donetsk and Odessa regions, which indicate the attraction of capital investment in the economy of the Black Sea Region of Ukraine. In Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts there are small volumes of capital investments, which demonstrate insufficient investment efficiency and it is necessary to increase the efficiency of investment projects implementation. It is investigated that the best indicators of gross regional product in Donetsk and Odessa regions, which show the development of the economy of the Black Sea region of Ukraine. In Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, the volumes of gross regional product are smaller, which show insufficient economic development and it is necessary to support small and medium business, attract new foreign investments, raise the image of the Black Sea Region of Ukraine, etc.

The Black Sea region is an area of the intersection of both regional and global players’ interests. This region concentrates at the same time a number of frozen interstate conflicts. The concept of the research assumes the possibility of smoothing geopolitical tension by means of strengthening economic relations of the countries. The Black Sea region during the Post-Soviet period was characterized by the absence of an obvious leader in the region, manifestation of interstate contradictions and also orientation of the countries to the global geopolitical poles standing in opposition to each other. All the factors mentioned above have been significantly reducing the interaction potential during the last 25 years. The aim of the research was to study the current state, factors and problems of the economic integration in the Black Sea region. The research was based on the analysis of scientific approaches to studying interactions in the region and on the quantitative analysis of the current level of trade and economy, as well as infrastructural and communicative interrelation of economies. The article shows the importance of infrastructural and trade interrelation of economies as a factor of smoothening geopolitical interaction. The author makes the conclusion about significant influence of the geopolitical factor in the long-term cooperation in the Black Sea region. The paper defines the instruments of strengthening the connectivity of macro region countries in the economic sphere. The economic cooperation in the Black Sea region is presented as a long-term and stable platform for both economic growth and smoothening modern conflicts in the region.

The aim of the article is to study the current state of financial provision of the social sphere of the Black Sea region and to develop practical recommendations for its optimization in conditions of decentralization processes. Methodology. We have made a generalization of the theoretical provisions of the financial mechanism of the social sphere of the region. We propose to investigate the financial mechanism of the social sphere of the Black Sea region by means of analysis of indicators of income and expenditure parts of the budget of regions of the Black Sea region. At the present stage of the gradual transformation of the socio-economic development of the regions and in the context of the implementation of the budget decentralization reform, a number of acute problems from the financial support of social development, the guarantee of social standards for the population, and the improvement of the quality of social services arose. The solution of these problems needs a substantial research in the direction of developing the best models for financing social development of the regions, which will promote the achievement of decent social standards and stimulate economic growth. The financial mechanism for providing social development of the Black Sea region is analysed, the current state of the regional budget in terms and trends in financing social expenditures of the region is identified. It is determined that despite the increase in tax revenues, local authorities still do not have sufficient financial resources to perform their functions and tasks. It adversely affects the development of social infrastructure, provision of social services, and does not contribute to the effective human development, which serves not only as the main goal but also as a key determinant of the economic development of the region. It is substantiated that in order to improve the situation in the social sphere of the region, it is necessary to improve the financial mechanism of social security. On the basis of the investigated scientific approaches, the concept of “mechanism of the financial provision of socially-oriented regional development” is clarified, directions of budget and extrabudgetary financing of social expenditures are substantiated, and proposals on the improvement of financial management of social sphere in the conditions of decentralization are developed. Results. To improve the system of financial provision of social development of the region, it was proposed to establish clear and transparent financial relations in the areas of income generation and distribution of regional budget expenditures at all levels, to create conditions for additional attraction of financial resources from extrabudgetary sources aimed at the implementation of regional social programs, and to form an effective system control over the functioning of the financial mechanism, primarily on the part of the territorial communities. Value/originality. The concept of the mechanism of the financial provision of socially-oriented regional development is generalized. An estimation of the social sphere of the Black Sea region is carried out on the basis of the analysis of indicators of income and expenditure parts of budgets of regions of the Black Sea region, the use of which allows determining the perspective directions of the social sphere of the Black Sea region.

Analytical Estimation

The article analyzes the level of socio-economic development of the Black Sea region, which is determined by the structure of the economy, which has a direct impact on the dominance of a particular type of economic activity. A statistical analysis of the structure of the economy of the Black Sea region on the basis of grouped data by type of economic activity for the period 2013-2019 by indicators: the number of enterprises; number of employees at enterprises; pre-tax financial results; volume of sold products (goods, services) of enterprises. The rating assessment of types of economic activity of the regions of the Black Sea region according to the structure of the Classifier of Types of Economic Activity in 2019 is constructed. The priority types of economic activity of the regions of the region are revealed. Particular attention is paid to cost indicators that characterize the volume of production and income of enterprises in the region, the definition of factors that affect the development of each activity in the region. This is necessary because the description of the structure of the region's economy for each of these indicators will be different, and this necessitates a comparison of the structure of the economy of regions located in the same natural and climatic conditions, similar in historical development with the same administrative-territorial division. The results of the structural analysis showed that the dominant classifiers of economic activity in the Black Sea region are agriculture, forestry and fisheries; wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles; industry; transport, warehousing, postal and courier activities. At the same time, a significant share of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in Mykolayiv and Kherson oblasts significantly exceeds the rest in terms of the number of enterprises in the industry and employees. Kherson region is also significantly distinguished by the financial results of enterprises in the region, which receive income from agriculture at the level of 67.7%. In the Odessa region, the transport industry prevails, namely logistics and warehousing. Thus, it can be argued that the Black Sea region has significant development potential in priority areas.

Topicality. The importance of using new opportunities for economic development, sustainability and connectivity in the region and beyond is enhanced in terms of the growing strategic importance of the Black Sea region for the EU. Investments are the basis of socio-economic development of the region. Investments related to the deepest foundations of economic activity, they determine the process of economic growth in general. In modern conditions, they are the most important tool of ensuring the conditions for the overcoming the economic crisis, for structural changes in the countries, for the growth of technological progress, for the improvement of quality indicators of economic activity at micro and macro levels. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to identify the problems of economic development and the associated features of attracting foreign investment in the Black Sea region. Research results. The basic social and economic indicators of the Black Sea region - GDP (GDP), the index of human development, the population, the share of comparison is used to determine the structure and dynamics of incoming and outgoing flows volumes of direct foreign investments regional GDP in the world, are determined, the strategic importance is emphasized on the geopolitical map of the world of the Black Sea region, according the current political and economic challenges in Asian-European relations, dynamics and structure of incoming and outgoing investments of the countries of the region over the last nine years are defined. On this basis was concluded about the significant drop in investment activity in the region since 2014. A list of the main reasons for the decline in investment activity in the region is formed and relationship with the general indicators of economic development of the region is defined. The connection of problems of economic development and attraction of foreign investments to the countries of the Black Sea region is substantiated, which, unlike the existing approach, covers the participants of the whole region, and not a separate country. Approaches to the joint solution of investment problems of the countries of the Black Sea region are developed, which, unlike the existing ones, provide a synergistic effect and greater attractiveness for investors. Research results can be used by enterprises in attracting investment in cross-border projects, also can be used by intergovernmental groups to formulate strategies for joint provision of investment attractiveness of regional programs, can be used by participants in joint enterprises of the Black Sea region. Conclusion. The countries of the Black Sea region are heterogeneous in their economic indicators, thet are belonging to various economic and geopolitical associations. There are explicit leaders among the countries - Russia and Turkey, which have different geopolitical interests in the region and are not able to become a unifying factor in the region. For several years, the Black Sea region is not in the sight of international investors, and all Black Sea countries must work together to become investment attractive again. China's investment interests are identified in a region that does not hold back political commitments to any of the countries in the region. Business opportunities are the most powerful determinants of FDI.. But the particularities of the investment climate, such as strong institutions and regulatory instruments, are also important for developing countries and countries with economies in transition which looking for attraction of additional FDI. With a poor regional investment climate, foreign investors and their host economies may not be able to take full advantage of business opportunities created by market size and growth potential.

The subject of this article is the problem of correlation and verification of ancient literary sources and archaeological evidence with a view to reconstruct the history and culture of the early Scythians. The author analyzes the current state of affairs in cultural identification of the Cimmerians and the Scythians in Russian archaeological and historical science and shows drawbacks of the hypercritical approach to ancient literary sources on the basis of the early Greek tradition on the Cimmerians and the Scythians in the Northern Black Sea region. If we use the methods that have been recently used to analyze the Greek tradition on the Cimmerians, we will have to make a disappointing conclusion that not only the Cimmerians but also the Scythians in the Northern Black Sea region are virtually not mentioned for a period before the middle of the 5th century BC. The archaeological evidence can largely make up for the shortage of narrative sources on the Scythians. The author makes a conclusion that the «old» hypothesis about the arrival of the Scythians in the Black Sea region (based on the third Herodotus’ story) and replacement of the late pre-Scythian culture by the early Scythian one combines almost all known literary and archaeological evidence into a more consistent theory than the «new» approach offered in the 1990s and stating that the Cimmerians were bearers of the Early Scythian culture known only to the west of the Euphrates.
