Competitiveness of exports as a direction of economic security

The features of the modern world economy development increase the scale of external and internal challenges and threats to the economy, which makes the problems of ensuring economic security more and more relevant. And taking into account the ongoing transformations of the world economy, each country chooses its priorities, uses a set of measures to strengthen and protect its national economic security. Three interrelated categories can be distinguished: the economic security of the country, the economic security of individual people, and the economic security of national economic entities. The country’s economic security is influenced by a system of factors that overlaps with the system of factors of the country’s international competitiveness. The methodology of ensuring economic security and approaches to the choice of instruments for its protection are not dogmatic. They can and must change in accordance with the development trends of the world economy, new scientific and technological knowledge, features of geo-economic competition. The analysis of the functioning of the Russian economy and foreign trade has allowed to single out a number of negative tendencies, which are the preconditions for certain fears for Russia’s economic security. Simultaneously, the role of its strengthening in the long-term period, and therefore the use of preventive measures, is growing. This preventive measure is to increase the competitiveness of exports. The focus on increasing the competitiveness of Russian exports stimulates the organization of output on the basis of advanced technologies, corresponding to the best foreign models, and, ideally, superior in its parameters. Increasing the competitiveness of exports, taking into account the above features of the modern Russian economy will allow to form mechanisms ensuring the emergence of points of its growth, contribute to strengthening the national security of the country.
