MONITORING THE CURRENT STATE OF INTERREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT DISPROPORTION

Abstract

Formulation of the problem. In order to determine the current state of socio-economic development of the regions, the administrative-territorial structure of the country is considered in the regional section. The aim of the research is to analyze the scale of disproportions in the socio-economic development of the country's regions. The object of the research is the current state of development of the regions of Ukraine and the process of identifying regional development disproportions. The hypothesis of the research is the assumption that in recent years in Ukraine and in most of its regions, the developmental imbalance that is characterized by a significant demographic crisis, interregional economic and social disparities deepens. The statement of basic materials. The result of the significant differentiation of the country's socio-economic space is the varying capacity of the regions to ensure local development: there is an intensification of the differentiation of regions according to indicators such as the gross regional product, the income of the population, the average monthly wage, the scope of which varies by regions per capita reaches almost twice the size, and the unemployment rate in regions with a depressed state of development is 3 times more than in developed countries. The originality and practical significance of the research. The analysis of the share of regions in the total volume of the main macroeconomic indicators - net profit of enterprises, volumes of export, import, capital investments, retail turnover of enterprises is made. It has been determined that developed regions such as the metropolitan region, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions occupy 10.0-40.0% of the total, while the backward regions – Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Kirovograd regions occupy almost 3.0% on these indicators. The same trends of spatial development can be traced to the fullness of regional budgets. Conclusions of the research. After the budget regulation, the ranking of regions for budget security varies significantly. If the Kharkiv region took the sixth place before the transfers, then after granting it - the nineteenth, Odesa region moved from the fifth place to the seventeenth, Nikolayev region from the ninth to the eighteenth. Conversely, such areas as Sumy, Zhytomyr and Volyn changed the rating from the eleventh fifth, from fifteenth to tenth, from the seventeenth to ninth, respectively. This situation does not give grounds for expanding its own tax base, to create favorable conditions for the development of the region's economy and, therefore, there is the effect of artificial subsidization of economically developed regions.
