Abstract

INTRODUCTION Diversification of the pace of development of individual regions of Ukraine is a deep-rooted phenomenon, which is the result of a number of factors, including the attractiveness of the location, available resources, the level of human capital, as well as access to transport infrastructure and utilities. A special aspect is the problem of effective use of economic potential, which is considered as one of the main factors that determines the development of the regional socio-economic system. Since regions are formed as integral complexes, balanced by natural resource, demographic, production, social and environmental subsystems, and its potential-under the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors, it focuses the region on achieving certain strategic development goals in accordance with the available resources. Various components and aspects of the economic potential of the region were studied by foreign and domestic scientists, in particular V. Adrianov, O. Alimov, I. Dolzhansky, N. Krasnokutskaya, V. Nagornaya, V. Mikitenko, O. Oleksiuk, R. Simionov, V. Pila, S. Tulchinskaya and others. However, the issues of imperfection of opening tools and methods of assessing the economic potential of regions remain insufficiently studied, which leads to limited use of it, ignoring potential opportunities in solving institutional problems.
