The objective of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the directions of increasing the economic potential of the Russian metallurgical industry through the policy of import substitution in the face of unprecedented sanctions from Western countries. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for companies in the metallurgical industry of Russia to form and develop their own foreign economic strategy for the development of steel exports to world markets. The article investigates current problems of the development of the world ferrous metals market based on the analysis of statistical data. Conclusions are drawn about the causes of crisis phenomena in the metallurgical industry under the influence of neo-economic uncertainty and geopolitical constraints, current trends in technology development, regulatory requirements and digitalization. The possibilities are considered, and ways of overcoming crisis phenomena are proposed.

At the present stage of development of world economic relations, an important condition for the state to overcome the crisis is to increase the level of its competitiveness, which cannot be fully realized without attracting a significant amount of investment. For the economy of the Russian Federation foreign capital is one of the factors of development, as it will allow to modernize production through the introduction of technological innovations to ensure sustainable growth of the national economy, which contributes to the build-up of competitive advantages in the world arena. In order to increase the investment attractiveness of the Russian economy, it is necessary to improve the investment climate, form a favorable business environment, improve infrastructure along with ensuring economic security within the country. In this regard, the need to improve the mechanism of increasing the investment attractiveness of the Russian Federation in the transformation of the world economy is aggravated.

Currently, the transformational mechanisms of the new economy (noonomics) are impossible without the growth of industrial production and the development of industrial enterprises and regions. To increase the gross regional product and business efficiency, an important aspect is to increase the indicators of financial results of industrial enterprises, innovative and investment development of regions in spatial and economic integration. At the same time, the production process of an industrial enterprise is inevitably associated with the movement of capital, the allocation of resources, the implementation of the intended goals and the achievement of financial results.

The article provides a feasibility study for the introduction of separation devices with arc-shaped elements (SDwAE) in fluidized bed reactors. It has been shown that the currently used cyclone separators in reactors have a number of disadvantages. SDwAE was proposed as a replacement. A model of a separation device is presented and the mechanism of its operation is described. The proposed arrangement of 6 SDwAE in a reactor to replace 12 cyclone separators is shown schematically. An estimated economic calculation showed that the cost of the project for the implementation of 6 SDwAE in reactors is estimated at 5,726 thousand rubles, which is 2.6 times cheaper than analogues (12 cyclone separators). When comparing the technical characteristics of separation devices, it was found that most of the parameters of 6 SDwAE are better than 12 cyclone separators: metal consumption 5119 kg (1.4 times lower), hydraulic resistance of about 3600 Pa (2.5 times lower), wear of the catalyst and walls device is lower due to lower operating speeds. In the course of the economic assessment of the project using the SDwAE, the following parameters were considered: discount factor Kd, discounted cash flows DCF, net present value NPV, profitability index PI and discounted payback period DPP. Possible scenarios for increasing IC to 15,000 thousand rubles are analyzed. Calculation of the profitability index PI for different initial costs of the IC project from 5726 to 15000 thousand rubles. showed that it is cost-effective, i.e. PI > 1, only in those cases in which financial flows per year CF, considering depreciation charges, are at least 1867 thousand rubles. The discounted payback period of the DPP project is 1.4 – 6.6 years with financial flows per year CF equal to 1867 – 5500 thousand rubles with the initial cost of the IC project equal to 5726 thousand rubles.

Strategic risk management is an important component of the strategic management of organizations, contributing to ensuring their competitiveness and sustainability in the market. This includes identifying and classifying risks, developing risk management strategies, making decisions about accepting or reducing risks, as well as ongoing monitoring and risk assessment. Risk assessment is a key element of strategic risk management, allowing an organization to determine the likelihood of undesirable events and their possible consequences. Some common approaches include identifying potential threats, assessing the likelihood of these threats, analyzing possible consequences, assessing the level of risk exposure, developing risk mitigation measures, and choosing the most effective risk management strategies. This study is devoted to modern concepts of strategic risk management in organizations. The works of several domestic and foreign authors and their approach to this issue are considered. In the course of the work, the system method, methods of analysis and synthesis were used. The concepts of strategic risk management are highlighted and analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are described.

The main goal of the national projects developed in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation with a validity period until 2024 is to improve the social and economic situation in the country and improve the quality of life of the population. Among these national projects, «Demography» occupies a special place: the demographic situation in the country continues to be difficult, caused mainly by the low birth rate (in 2023, 1.5 children per woman, which is below the replacement level of generations). The average life expectancy in Russia was 75 years for men and 81 for women. As the population declines, the economic potential of the country decreases, which will become a threat to the stability of the country’s future development. This determines the relevance of the topic of the article. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of tax regulation in the field of demography. The demographic situation depends on many factors: the economic situation (income level), education, medical care and health, state demographic policy (support for families with children, maternity capital, tax benefits for large families, etc.). In addition to the above, there are many more conditions for demographic growth, primarily housing conditions. The article examines the social function of two taxes (income tax and personal income tax) and their impact on demographic processes. The author uses analysis, synthesis, grouping, generalization, comparison, tabular, etc. The study is based on data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Tax Service, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, etc. The study established the ineffectiveness of tax regulation of demographic processes, and for income tax due to non-use by taxpayers the opportunities provided by Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, regarding personal income tax – due to the insignificance of the provided tax deductions for tax.
