TRANSFORMATION OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROFILE OF THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN
The authors analyzed the transformation of the industrial sector of the Republic of Bashkortostan in sectoral and territorial aspects. It was revealed that there is a gradual sectoral diversification of the industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan and a decrease in dependence on one backbone industry. In the structure of the volume of shipped goods of own production, works and services performed on their own in the manufacturing industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2005-2018. The share of production of coke and petroleum products significantly decreased - from 56% to 45%, while the share of chemical production increased from 15 to 18%, as well as the production of vehicles and equipment - from 6 to 9%. All this suggests a gradual change in the trajectory of the region's production activities, possibly ensuring its future competitiveness in the face of external factors of changes in oil prices. The authors also analyzed changes in the territorial structure of industry in the Republic of Bashkortostan. For 2009-2018 the manufacturing industry of the region was increasingly concentrated in the three largest urban districts of the region: Ufa, Salavat, Sterlitamak. Their total share increased from 77.4 to 82.3%, including the capital's share increased by 5 percentage points. The share of 50 out of 61 municipalities of the republic decreased from 4.4 to 3.8%. This suggests that the concentration of industry in the largest cities of the region is increasingly taking place, which may lead to an increase in the unevenness of the socio-economic development of the region's municipalities.
