Abstract

The article investigates the formation of import substitution strategy in the Russian economy in the context of strengthening sanction restrictions and emergence of new external shocks in the future. The strategy itself is positioned as an integral understanding of the set of goals, subjects and object of regulation of multilevel structural changes in the economy, tools and implementation scenarios, target indicators as expected results. The basis of the strategy in terms of reproduction is investments in import-substituting industries within the framework of public-private partnerships, and in the industry – a technological map of the import substitution. The author's methodology involves the analysis of national import substitution strategies implemented in a number of countries at various time intervals. Theoretical provisions for strategizing the import substitution in conditions of external shocks and sanctions include mechanisms and tools for intersectoral distribution of production factors – material and human capital, technology. As such mechanisms, the investment and innovation alliance is proposed as a form of public-private partnership in the manufacturing and high-tech sectors of the economy, the recreation of an innovative and investment-active social group in which human capital is reproduced – the basis for technological modernization of industry to the level of Industry 4.0. Special attention is paid to the tools of intersectoral redistribution of production factors as a practical side of the strategy.

Abstract

In modern conditions of industrial production, the key aspect is to increase energy efficiency and optimize the use of resources. These measures are necessary to ensure the economic profitability of industrial enterprises. The authors of this study have developed a design of a regenerative heat exchanger for the transfer of thermal energy from steam and gas emissions to cold water used for technological and economic needs. The purpose of the work is to carry out an economic assessment of the feasibility of using a regenerative heat exchanger with a ribbed surface in conditions of contamination during condensation of a vapor-gas mixture at an industrial enterprise. To assess the profitability of using a heat exchanger in various operating conditions, the net present value (NPV), the discounted payback period (DPP) and the profitability index (PI) are calculated. The calculations took into account the impact of the technical condition of the equipment and the frequency of its maintenance on the economic performance of the project. The study was based on calculations of various scenarios of the heat exchanger operation, taking into account contamination of the heat transfer surface and changes in the transmitted heat flow Qb between the heat carriers. During the study, the Qb heat flow varied from 50 to 200 kW and the initial investment in the project varied from 3,500 to 6,500 thousand rubles. As a result, data were obtained demonstrating how changes in these parameters affect the net present value of the project and its payback period. The main findings emphasize the need for regular cleaning and maintenance of the heat exchanger to maintain its efficiency and accelerate the return on investment. It was found that at a discount rate of 16%, the project will be economically profitable if the initial investment does not exceed 5,107 thousand rubles. The discounted payback period (DPP) of the project is on average from 1.5 to 3.4 years.

Abstract

The article investigates the key factors of destabilization and conditions for the development of the economy of the regions of the Siberian Federal District based on annual data for the period 2014–2022. An analysis of the main directions, the level and the rate of changes in economic indicators of the regions is carried out in the study. The influence of demography and migration, sanctions restrictions and investments, government support measures and shifts in the scope of their application to stabilize the economic development of the regions of the Siberian Federal District is considered. The authors highlight them as the most important factors in the development of regions in modern conditions. Seven indicators of the level of development and three indicators of the dynamics of regional development are proposed. Based on them, clusters were determined by the level and dynamics of regional development using the k-means method. The change in the quality and composition of clusters over the analyzed period is shown. The study revealed the specificity of the crises of recent years, showed common specific features and differences in the passage of crisis periods by regions, depending on their industry specialization and the availability of investments. In general, the pace of development of industrialized regions turned out to be less than that of moderately and underdeveloped regions. The results obtained can be useful to regional authorities in assessing causes of the current state and forecasting target indicators for the economic development of territories.

Abstract

In conditions of economic instability, special attention is paid to ensuring the investment attractiveness of commercial banks, which indicates the ability of the latter to maintain stable and profitable activities, timely meet their bond obligations of various types, effectively manage risks in case of changes in the macroeconomic and other environmental conditions and the occurrence of negative factors in the financial market. This determines the relevance of the chosen research direction. The purpose of the study was to analyze the investment attractiveness of VTB Bank bonds and assess the attractiveness of individual issues and types of bonds of this bank for unqualified investors in comparison with the bonds of its key competitors. The main research methods were the fundamental financial and economic analysis of VTB Bank as an issuer and a comparative analysis of the parameters of the key varieties of bonds of VTB Bank, Sberbank and AlfaBank. The issuer's analysis confirmed the stability of the bank's position, however, VTB's weak point is its vulnerable capital position. As a bond issuer, VTB Bank mainly issues short-term bonds; bonds with fixed coupon payments are issued for a period of no more than 1 year, which does not comply with the principles of the passive investment strategy under which bonds are usually purchased. For a period of more than 1 year, VTB's most attractive investment-grade bonds with variable coupon income and structural bonds are issued. However, the bonds of Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, based on a combination of parameters, are more attractive to investors, including unqualified ones.

Abstract

The article investigates current trends in the digitalization of financial analysis. The influence of digital technologies on the practice of financial analysis is analyzed, two key areas of transformation are identified: expanding the volume of data with automated calculations and increasing the availability of financial information in electronic form. Particular attention is paid to the limitations of existing automated financial analysis systems, which, despite their ability to process large volumes of data, cannot fully replace expert assessment. Using the example of a solvency analysis of a specific enterprise, it is demonstrated that automated systems provide only a superficial description of the financial condition, without revealing the underlying causes or taking into account the specifics of the business model. The author concludes that for making management decisions, a deeper analysis is necessary, taking into account non-formalized data and the specifics of the company's activities.

Abstract

In this article, based on the study of the theory and research of the direction of bank project financing and analysis of the methodology for evaluating investment projects by Sberbank PJSC, shortcomings have been identified in the form of the lack of a formed base of borrowers-developers who carry out their activities through project financing, and, as a result, a unified rating system for developers. According to the shortcomings considered, a system of internal coefficient rating of developers for the commercial bank of Sberbank PJSC was formed and proposed for implementation, which will lead to an increase in the speed of viewing incoming applications for project financing.

Abstract

The relevance of the topic of the article is determined by the fact that in modern economic conditions it is quite important to carry out tax control in the form of tax audits. Taking into account the fact that over the past three years the amounts of additional charges have increased significantly based on the results of desk tax audits, it is very important and relevant to explore the possibilities of the VAT-2 information database, the use of which has an significant effect on the identification of tax offenses and crimes. The purpose of the study is to analyze the role and place of desk tax audits, ASK VAT–2 in the VAT tax administration system based on statistical data. The result of the research is the development of an optimal model of VAT tax administration based on the information base of the VAT-2 ASK, which provides for a "vector" exchange with regulatory authorities to achieve the most effective documentation of tax offenses and crimes, as well as the proposal to amend the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The apllied methods include analysis, synthesis, deduction, analogy, and modeling.
