The purpose of this study is to develop proposals for the introduction of ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social public procurements in the national strategy on E-Public Procurement Reform and the strategy of procurements on the company-customer level. The relevance of this study is due to the need to ensure the development of “smart”, sustainable, inclusive economy, which will help reduce unemployment, poverty, facilitate access for people with disabilities to work, create opportunities for the education of young people and adults, stimulate innovations, meet expectations of citizens, solve environmental problems, carry out digital transformations taking into consideration the best world practices. The share of public procurements in expenditures of the state budget and gross domestic product of Ukraine, the dynamics of the procurement’s participants in the B2G segment is evaluated. In Ukraine, the largest share of expenditures falls on security and social protection, however, the prosperity index in these categories is critical (“red” zone). In order to form The E-Public Procurement Strategy, the best world practices of introducing innovative, environmental and social procurement criteria should be considered. Strategic directions of public procurement, namely – ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social, which provide sustainable and inclusive development of economy, are proposed.

The purpose of this study is to study the indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of investment processes on the securities market, taking into account the scientific foundations of information management systems and analysis of indicators of financial efficiency of the investment function of the securities market in Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the growing importance of management information systems in all sectors of the Ukrainian economy, in particular, the provision of solutions to the problems of activating investment processes in the securities market of Ukraine by analyzing and reassessing the effectiveness of investment processes at this level, taking into account the scientific basis of management information systems.  A set of indicators that best reflect the implementation of the investment function of the Ukrainian securities market is proposed. A matrix of characteristics of investment processes in the securities market is proposed. It is argued why domestic and foreign investors prefer local securities market indices when making investment decisions. Through the implementation of correlation-regression models, it has been proven that, on average, 87% of changes in investments in securities are due to changes in the number of licensed entities, which on the Chedoch scale indicates a close relationship between the indicators. The results obtained using statistical inference methods indicate a high impact of both external macroeconomic factors that inhibit the development of the securities market and internal, which in turn is reflected in the indicators of assessing the effectiveness of investment processes in the securities market.

The purpose of the article is to perform stress-testing technologies of the financial stability of an insurance company based on the constructed mathematical model of the insurance company's activity, which would meet the established requirements (adequate reproduction of the main parameters of the insurance company's functioning; taking into account the stochastic nature of insurance processes; flexible management of model parameters describing company's behaviour; the ability to influence the intensity of flows; suitability for algorithmization and construction of computational simulation model. The relevance of this study is due to the need to address the problem of changes and complications, the growing variety of strategies and products implemented by insurance companies. There is a need for innovative methods to assess and monitor the vulnerability of these institutions to various types of risks. One of these methods, which is gaining widespread recognition both among regulators and financial corporations, is stress testing. It has been established that stress testing as a risk management tool is used both to assess the insurance company's readiness for a crisis situation, and to develop a plan of adequate measures to counteract and eliminate its negative impact. The development and application of the proposed mathematical and simulation model of stress testing of the financial stability of the insurance company allows to solve issues of ensuring sufficiency of capital level, control of financial stability and solvency, reliability of efficiency of activities, taking into account the probabilistic nature of insurance activities, various typical insurance risks and time horizons.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the fiscal role of the excise tax by studying its information and functional potential and to model the dynamics of its payment by the brewing industry. Excise tax occupies a special place in a tax system of each state because, in addition to significant fiscal importance, it has a considerable regulatory impact on the production and consumption of certain categories of goods. Based on information systems in the article analyses and monitors the indicators of the excise tax payments on goods produced in Ukraine on the example of a particular enterprise in the brewing industry. By means of the initial data analysis of autocorrelation functions of volumes’ indicators of the accrued excise taxes on beer the expediency of modelling realization of such indicator dynamics on the basis of ARIMA model is proved. The analytical and statistical approaches to the formation of models for the implementation of forecast for the calculation of excise tax on beer of brewing industry enterprises are improved. The proposed approach is based on the values of autocorrelation of balances and partial autocorrelation, as well as methods of analysis of time series with gaps, which allows to use it in the economic activity of enterprises to make forecasts for the calculation and payment of the excise tax. This will produce financial effects for the brewing industry in terms of cost optimization and minimization of the excise tax risks.

The main goal of the given research is to conduct cross-cultural analysis of financial support mechanisms in Europe in order to develop practical recommendations, focused on SME recovery, for emerging markets, in particular Ukraine. The article examines the main effects of pandemic on economy, focusing on business disruption, in particular SME. The financial flows as a response on anti-pandemic prevention measures were analyzed all over the world through digital tools, namely BI, as well as differentiation of support measures. The general fall in the main macroeconomic indicators was indicated for European countries and the deep analysis of financial support mechanisms provided by states was conducted. Taking into account research results, it was revealed that complex policy mechanisms were developed mainly by advanced economies while emerging markets, in particular Ukraine, do not have the effective mechanisms aimed at eliminating negative effects of pandemic. So, on the basis of conducted analysis the practical recommendations for emerging markets, in particular Ukraine, were developed using relevant European experience
