Identification of the main problems in ensuring the financial security of the state is based on a comprehensive analysis and identification of factors influencing the level of protection of the national financial system. The complexity of building the financial system itself during the global pandemic has become much more complicated, but there is a need to review each of its integral parts to objectively assess the overall level of security. Determining the level of financial security is carried out using an integrated index of financial security, which is the sum of integrated indices of certain areas of the budget of financial activities, debt, monetary base, currency, insurance, stocks, banking, investment. The insurance market is one of the key indicators of the level of financial security of the state and its citizens. The insurance market is one of the most important components of the financial sector of the economy. Without a well-developed infrastructure of the insurance market, it is impossible to ensure the progressive socio-economic development of the state. The article summarizes the shortcomings inherent in public financial control at the present stage of its development in the field of insurance. The article analyzes the dynamics of the main indicators of the state of development of the insurance market of Ukraine, identified factors influencing its level of financial security and identified areas for achieving a satisfactory state of financial security of the domestic insurance market. The list of modern threats to the normal operation of domestic insurance companies is determined, their division into internal and external according to the nature of their origin. Statistics on individual parameters that characterize the insurance market are presented. The importance of economic security of insurance companies for the financial, economic and national security of the state is substantiated. The authors of the article identified the factors influencing the state of public financial control in Ukraine and identified areas for improving public financial control in the context of financial security of the state and the insurance market in the COVID-19 pandemic. The article substantiates that the conditions for attracting investment and a safe environment in Ukraine have not yet been formed. The system of indicators and criteria for assessing the level of security of the investment environment should be expanded.

Abstract.In the modern period of economic governance, the assessment of the financial security of the state takes place in different directions, different groups of indicators, different methods. Mainly in scientific works, there is a desire for bringing the various components of the assessment of financial security to an integral indicator, taking into account the normalized values of individual indicators, which requires an assessment of their weight and always contains certain subjectivity through the involvement of experts in this process. Considering that the financial system of any country is the basis for the functioning of the economy, and Ukraine has a complex of accumulated socio-economic problems that constantly accompany it, this predetermines the high relevance of this area of research in recent decades. Considering approaches to assessing the level of financial and economic security, it is necessary to refer to the Methodological Recommendations for calculating the level of economic security of Ukraine, in which for this purpose the method of reconciling their estimates with individual systems of advantages that are not publicly available was used. Therefore, in this study, when forming this system of preferences, which affects the direction of the formation of the national strategy of financial and economic security, it is proposed to use the existing cause-and-effect relationships between its components. Taking into account these cause-and-effect relationships and according to the introduced symbols, a matrix of paired comparisons was done by expert means, which determines the direct impact of some components of the country’s financial security on others. The analysis which is made in the article it possible to assess the dynamics in all areas of financial security on the basis of group indicators and identify the most problematic indicators. On the other hand, such an assessment does not give an idea of which risk zone certain indicators belong to, since each of them has its own limits of acceptable values, which is indicated in the article. This direction requires further research and will help determine whether the current state of the state’s financial security belongs to a particular risk zone.

The article examines the indicators of financial security of Ukraine and the position of the state in international rankings compiled by international organizations. Some international rankings are considered in detail and the corresponding conclusions concerning financial safety of Ukraine are made. The impact of assessments of international organizations on the financial stability and security of the country is analyzed, namely indicators of fiscal (tax) burden, fiscal health, monetary freedom, financial freedom, are indicators that can be used for financial security at the macro level. An assessment of the Competitiveness Index of Ukraine and the Global Financial Index is provided; this facilitates the assessment of the level of financial inclusion of the country. It is concluded that Ukraine’s rating is extremely low, the state of financial security of the national economy is on the border between satisfactory and critical values, there is an unsatisfactory state in the assessment of the banking system as a whole. The article provides the assessment of financial security that is carried out by an external investor or lender who does not have deep knowledge about the peculiarities of the functioning and development of the financial system of Ukraine, but makes decisions based on international ratings of national economies, which is negative for further financial decisions. Almost half of the adult population of the state remains outside the financial system and does not use financial products and services, does not pursue its own financial interests and does not invest in the assets of the financial sector, which is in dire need of investment. It is also possible to note the significant lag in the level of financial inclusion in Ukraine, which, in turn, contributes to the spread of shadow schemes in the economy, capital outflows, shortfalls in budget revenues, and ultimately reduce the financial security of our country. Therefore, at the state level, urgent measures should be taken to increase the rating positions of Ukraine through a qualitative transformation of the domestic financial system in the direction of increasing the level of financial security of the state.

Abstract Insurance companies are facing major challenges that point to the need for control process and risk management. Risk management in insurance has a direct impact on solvency, economic security, and overall financial stability of insurance companies. It is very important for insurance companies to adequately calculate risks to which they are exposed. Asset liability management (ALM), as an integrated approach to financial management, requires simultaneous decision-making about categories and values of assets and liabilities in order to establish the optimum volume and the ratio of assets and liabilities, with the understanding of complexity of the financial market in which financial institutions operate. ALM focuses on a significant number of risks, whereby the emphasis in this paper will be on interest rate risk which indicates potential losses that may reflect in a lower interest margin, a lower value of assets or both, in terms of changes in interest rates. In the above context, the aim of this paper is to show how to protect from interest rate changes and how these changes influence the insurance market in Montenegro, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view. The authors consider this to be an interesting and very important topic, especially because the life insurance market in Montenegro is underdeveloped and subject to fluctuations. Also, taking into account the fact that Montenegro is a country that has been making serious efforts to join the EU, it is expected that insurance companies in Montenegro will strengthen their financial position in the market even using the ALM traditional techniques, which is shown in this paper.

In the current conditions of instability of the national economy and tense geopolitical situation, one of the key factors contributing to the realization of national interests and priorities of Ukraine is economic security. Which characterizes a state of the economy in which the economic interests of the enterprise, region, state and society are reliably protected from internal and external threats. The development of integration processes in the world community contributes to the economic growth of the state, however, like any development process, it faces a number of negative factors and risks that pose a threat to economic security. Given the complexity of the processes in domestic and foreign policy, the majority of the population is unsure of their future. The global crisis has revealed serious shortcomings in the mechanism for managing the economic security of the state and domestic economic entities, which has been reflected in declining economic growth, gross domestic product, rising unemployment and other indicators. As a result, there is a growing focus on security and risk management tools at the macroeconomic level, as well as their effectiveness in the national context. The article examines the mechanisms of ensuring the economic security of the state in the insurance process, which are crucial factors for sustainable growth and functioning of the national economy as a whole. Various areas are considered: ensuring the safety of policyholders, private insurance companies, national institutions (government agencies, organizations). The article examines the mechanisms for ensuring the economic security of the state in the insurance process, which are the most important components of stable growth and functioning of the national economy as a whole. Various areas are considered: ensuring the safety of insured persons, private insurance companies, national institutions (government agencies, organizations). The economic security of the state must be ensured, first of all, by the efficiency of the economy itself, that is, along with the protective measures taken by the state, it must protect itself on the basis of high productivity, product quality and more.

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the current state and trends of the insurance market in Ukraine. A number of indicators characterizing the state of insurance market development, such as: the number of insurance companies engaged in risky types of insurance and life insurance; volume and dynamics of gross insurance bonuses and insurance payments; dynamics of the number of concluded agreements on voluntary and compulsory types of insurance, as well as reinsurance agreements; volume and dynamics of assets and insurance reserves of domestic insurance companies are analyzed in this scientific paper. Comparative analysis of the above mentioned indicators with similar indicators of foreign countries is carried out. It is defined that the insurance market of Ukraine lags far behind the countries of Europe, the USA, China, Japan and other developed countries. The reason for such low development is the difficult economic situation in the country caused by such factors as the change of power in 2015, the occupation of part of the territory by the Russian Federation, which shattered the previously unstable economy. Although the economic situation in the country has stabilized in recent years, this is not enough for the insurance market to reach the level of developed economies. The investigation results are presented in the form of tables and graphical interpretations. The factors of positive and negative influence on the development of domestic insurance market are determined and characterized. The main factor influencing the insurance market and ensuring its stability is the control of measures increasing the level of the population insurance culture and the reliability of insurance companies. Such measures will increase the demand for insurance services, insurers will be interested in doing their best and these factors will result in financial market stabilization. This effect will be achieved if the state and insurance companies act in coordinated manner, i.e. if the state provides the insurance market with regulatory framework with unobtrusive supervision, and insurers perform their work honestly and conscientiously. A number of recommendations for the development of domestic insurance companies and the market in general are developed. The main measures are to attract capital not only from European countries, making the insurance market more attractive, but to develop the health insurance, as medicine is quite expensive and the income is low, as well as to introduce the new insurance products due to the development of all industries.
