The article shows a number of key threats to Russia’s economic security at the present stage associated with the intensification of the hybrid war of the collective West against it. The following stand out among them: the use of cognitive weapon with its targeted impact on the public consciousness and the actions of the political elite; the use of the disruptive "Overton window" technology; the desire of the West to launch another color revolution in our country. It is noted that traditional military operations aimed at finishing off the already virtually defeated enemy may well be involved at the final stages of hybrid war. Considering the mechanism of impact of each of the noted hybrid threats on the functioning and development of the national economics, the author makes a set of practically significant proposals for their neutralization in the regulatory activities of the Russian state. According to the author, the situation of the inexorably unfolding hybrid war may well create powerful impulses for the revival of many industries and the civilian sector of the national economics as part of the pressing concept of import substitution. However, a well-thought-out concept of a country-wide structural policy is urgent for adoption of new opportunities.

The article outlines the main areas of cooperation between the BRICS countries in the field of agricultural development and food security. Based on the analysis of current scientific, methodological and analytical literature, as well as statistical and regulatory information, the work examines the main concepts that reveal the essence and content of agro-food interstate economic cooperation within the BRICS association. The article outlines the role and place of this international association in the system of global economy and interstate relations. It is noted that the BRICS association, integrating about 40 % of the world economy, is the most ambitious and dynamically developing international association with significant global political, economic and geostrategic development prospects. The work also notes that cooperation in the agricultural sector, in the production of basic food products, and in the development of rural areas is of significant importance in the development of relations within the BRICS association. The paper also substantiates the main directions of this interaction, including technology export, digital transformation, project cooperation, ensuring comprehensive security, etc. The article presents a number of recommendations for the creation and development of a food security system for the BRICS countries, ensuring the strategic sustainability of rural areas, and creating conditions and factors for effective international trade in food products between the BRICS countries. The paper also identifies the main problems and contradictions that create difficulties in implementing international economic relations in the agro-food sector within the BRICS association. The article is part of the research and development carried out to ensure the accelerated development of the BRICS economies in modern political and economic conditions.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in modern conditions many processes of geopolitical and economic nature are taking place in the world. In order to overcome the protracted global economic crisis of the 2020s with the least losses and gain competitive advantages at the exit from it, it is necessary to have a toolkit that provides the most accurate assessment of the effectiveness of global economic development. The purpose of the study is to develop a criterion for assessing the effectiveness of global economic development, taking into account the influence of modern geopolitical and economic aspects. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the formation of a new integral criterion for assessing the effectiveness of global economic development. The practical value of the results obtained in the work lies in the fact that the proposed integral criterion for assessing the effectiveness of global economic development has been created for the first time and takes into account the problems of global economic development in the modern post-industrial era. In this regard, the use of local criteria included in the developed integral criterion for assessing the effectiveness of global economic development makes it possible to determine the necessary management tools to resolve the problems of global economic development in the modern post-industrial era.

In recent years, digital platforms have profoundly reshaped economic and social activities globally. The platform economy has emerged as a crucial growth driver in the global economic landscape, playing a pivotal role in unlocking the latent potential of China’s consumer market. This article investigates the operational mechanisms through which platform economies influence the development of Chinese consumer potential. Through comprehensive analysis of theoretical frameworks examining contemporary consumption patterns among Chinese populations, coupled with an evaluation of the socioeconomic implications of platform economies, the study identifies three primary challenges impeding sustainable development: regional disparities in digital infrastructure creating consumer market imbalances; cybersecurity vulnerabilities threatening personal data protection; standardization gaps in e-commerce regulatory frameworks. The research proposes a dual-path solution framework: enhanced governmental oversight through progressive legal infrastructure development; strategic investment in next-generation digital platform technologies. Our analysis demonstrates that platform economies facilitate consumption scale expansion, market environment optimization, and quality enhancement in consumer experiences. However, achieving these outcomes requires coordinated efforts between policymakers and technology developers to address existing structural constraints.

The article considers the theoretical foundations of the sustainability of the domestic banking system in the context of digitalization and increasing market uncertainty. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in modern conditions there is a further increase in the scale of use of high-performance artificial intelligence systems. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study puts forward and proves the hypothesis that with the help of the artificial intelligence system DL-model «Random Forest» an accurate forecast of the closing price of Sberbank shares can be obtained, and also explores approaches aimed at filling the gap in theoretical issues related to modeling the mechanism for ensuring the sustainability of the banking system using options. The practical significance is that the results can be recommended for use in practice. The work used such research methods as statistical, monographic, analytical, the deep learning model «Random Forest» based on its method «DecisionTreeRegressor» (Decision Tree Regression), methods for constructing histograms in the Collab service, as well as Python libraries: pandas, sklearn and others. The neural network model included parameters reflecting the development of the banking system for the period from January 2016 to July 2024. The model showed good forecasting accuracy, so the forecast for November 1, 2024 was 272.07 rubles, with the actual value of the price of an ordinary share of Sberbank of 255.98 rubles. The forecast error was 16.03 rubles, or 5.91 % of the actual price. At the same time, the average absolute error was 11.64.

In this paper, the country’s export potential is assessed using DSGE modeling mechanisms. Within the framework of the hypothesis we proposed, the most significant groups of factors are economic, political and social factors. Other factors are not involved in the assessment. The following results were obtained based on the conducted research: It was revealed that the most important task of a unified socio-economic policy is to develop measures to accelerate the development of industry and its industry complexes. The tool for implementing this task should be the state industrial policy, which sets priorities and target guidelines for the development of industries and industries that ensure the achievement of national goals and target indicators of strategic development, as well as the implementation of national projects and state programs. In addition, special attention should be paid to industries and industries that ensure overcoming technological backwardness, which will ensure the achievement of key priorities of the country’s socio-economic development. As a negative conclusion, it should be noted that the adopted Federal Law on Industrial Policy did not meet the expectations of specialists in the field of creating a high-tech domestic industrial industry. The law did not provide for the priority of industrial policy in the real sector of the economy and did not determine the priorities for the development of industries and production facilities included in the industry. This policy did not include specific goals, objectives and parameters for the development of industries and production facilities, as well as levels of gradual achievement of target indicators for the future. It has been proven that the main influence in the formation of a unifi ed industrial policy should be aimed at modernizing the industry, creating conditions for investing in raising the technological level of all its industries. It has been revealed that for innovative economic growth and the revival of the technological competitiveness of industry, it is necessary to implement a set of interrelated measures to attract private and public investment, subsidies and preferential loans, and accelerated development of scientific and technical developments. According to the business community and independent experts, inaccessible loans are the main obstacle to expanding production and mastering the production of new products and introducing new technologies.
