An exclave position makes the economic security problems of the Kaliningrad region more complex as compared with other Russian territories. Deteriorating relations between Russia and the West compound the situation. This has been especially so since 2014 when economic sanctions were imposed against Russia, and the country retaliated. Global geopolitical instability adds to the conundrum. This study aims to assess the economic security of the Kaliningrad region. Its objectives include defining the concept of regional economic security and measuring its level in the Russian Baltic exclave. Possible ways to improve the economic security of the region are considered as well. Official statistics on the dynamics of industrial production and GRP and 28 other socio-economic indicators are used to assess the level of economic security. The region performs well on nine indicators and much worse on 19. Proposals for economic restructuring aimed at more intensive exploitation of regional natural and labour resources are examined along with the region’s prospects as part of the Great Eurasia (Bolshaya Eurasia) project and as an ‘international development corridor’.

The article considers a research of the economic security level of industrial production in the Kaliningrad region for the period from 2005 to 2018. The relevance of this research is due to the important role of industrial production in ensuring the competitiveness of the regional economy. The analysis is based on a comparison of economic security indicators with their threshold values. For analysis, indicators are transformed to a dimensionless value. As a result of the research, information about the status of economic security indicators of industrial production in the Kaliningrad region was obtained. Information about the location of indicators relative to the zone of “risk” and “stability” in dynamics was obtained. The results of research give an idea about the level of the economic security of industrial production. The results of the analysis can be used to assess the sustainability of the industrial production development, as well as to assess the level of economic security of the region as a whole.

The article analyzes threats to regional economic security caused by a high degree of centralization of revenues at the Federation level with decentralization of expenditure obligations. The influence of the global economy on the formation of the revenues of the federal budget and the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation is determined. On the basis of the system approach, proposals have been developed to establish targets for the formation of interbudgetary relations from the point of ensuring regional economic security.

The aim of our paper is to offer a brief survey of the stages of development of industrial productionin Hungary and the transfomation that followed the changing of Hungary’s political system, as well as the maintrends in the contemporary process of re-industrialization. Hungarian industry has long traditions; as early asthe beginning of the 20th century, in certain branches, it was among the leading countries in the world. Afterthe fall of the centrally planned economy of the communist system and following the crisis treatment policiesof the post-communist years, Hungarian industry, today, has to survive in an open economy. The process ofre-industrializaton in Hungary is, basically, an integral part of global industrial change while, at the same time,it is largely dependent on local industrial developments. The volume indices, the value of industrial investmentsand the number of employees in industry, are all indicators of a positive change. The processing industryrepresents a considerable proportion of industrial production in Hungary and, in addition, vehicle manufacturingis the most dynamically developing segment. At the same time, industry in Hungary can still be characterizedby a dual structure; more than two thirds of its production value us produced by large companies.Small- and medium-sized companies have the possibility of being integrated into the production structure assuppliers. Some of Hungary’s traditional industrial branches have deteriorated, while other segments havebeen able to change their structure and become dynamic again. The main focus of industrial production – dueto capital investments by foreigners – has shifted towards the west, and the largest portion of its productionvalue now comes from Hungary’s western and central Transdanubian regions. The process of re-industralizationis beneficial for those regions in which there is an adequate and ready supply of human resources.

One of the components of the positions of strengthening the competitiveness and financial independence of Russian industrial organizations is the definition of interrelated compositions in the context of the national and economic security of the country. Verification of the information flow of a data set is to a large extent a tool base for determining key facts in the event of challenges and threats. Therefore, the main goal of the work is to build an information base and mathematically determine the relationship between individual indicators to establish the level of financial security of Russian industrial production. Dialectical research methods determine the fundamental foundations of the issue being disclosed. The proposed methodology for the integral assessment of financial security reflects individual positions in the system of assessing financial risk and combines both positive and negative features of the development of industrial production. As a result of the multi-criteria assessment and the calculated integral indicator, the article singles out groups for assessing the financial risk of industrial organizations, which is the basis for assessing the competitiveness and financial stability both at the current time and in the forecast future.
