were defined. The evolution of the national economic security strategies was described; and the main directions of ensuring national
economic security in certain countries of the world economic system, including the Russian Federation, were substantiated. The
trends were identified, the threats to the normal functioning of the modern Russian economy were formulated, and the ways of their
overcoming were proposed. Based on the official statistics, the calculations of selected indicators of the external economic security of
Russian economy were carried out, and the comparison with existing threshold values was made. The dynamics of the main types of
import-substituting products was analyzed. On this ground, the modern parameters of foreign economic security were substantiated.

environmental and economic development. For this purpose, the indicators of eco-economic security and sustainable development,

of socio-economic indicators of its development, the
necessary and sufficient parameters of people's quality of life,
in the conditions of systemic provision of all conditions of
economic growth, and integrated development of the sectoral
and territorial structure of the economy (1).
National security strategies of individual countries have
their own national specifics. They formulate priorities in the
economy and other areas of public life, reflect the features of
the modern stage of their development.
The issues of economic security have always been the
focus of attention of scientists, economists and practitioners.
This is due to the fact, that in modern conditions of unstable
development of economic relations and the emergence of new
external and internal threats, the provision of safe
development at all levels of the economic system becomes a
task of paramount importance. In a theoretical aspect,
national security is the protection of the vital interests of the
state, society and the individual from the external and internal
threats in various spheres of life, that, ultimately, is aimed at
ensuring the sustainable development of the country's
economy, improving the quality of life of the population in
all possible ways, and growth of competitiveness of
industries and regions.
For example, in the United States, the National Security
Strategy was adopted under Barack Obama's presidency in
2015. It proclaimed American leadership as “a global force
for goodness, based on national interests”. In 2017, the new
President of the USA Donald Trump adopted a new National
Security Strategy. According to this document, national
interests are put forward, including: “the expansion of
American influence; development of American welfare;
protection of the country and the American way of life;
maintaining peace through strength”. In this strategy, Russia
and China are defined as the main competing countries. This
is reflected in the current domestic and foreign economic
policy, pursued by the US authorities (2).
