ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL PROVISION OF LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR IN UKRAINE

The article defines the peculiarities of organizational and legal provision of local economic development in Ukraine under martial law. In particular, it is indicated that in the modern conditions of russian armed aggression, when territorial communities are constantly working to solve the problems of their livelihood, it is crucially important to mobilize efforts and reorient communities to activities related to the activation of local economic development. At the same time, local economic development is defined as a process of interaction between local self-government bodies, business structures, civil society institutions and active members of the territorial community, aimed at ensuring the effective functioning of the communal sector of the economy and raising the standard of living of local residents. In this context, it is stated that among the anti-crisis tools of local economic development, which can have a positive effect on the modernization of the economy in territorial communities in wartime conditions, specialists single out: financial leasing, outsourcing, industrial parks, local economic development agencies, investment attraction centers, business incubators, cooperatives, clusters, social entrepreneurship, and others. The article focuses on the characteristics of such tools of municipal economic development as financial leasing, outsourcing, and industrial parks, namely, their regulatory support and advantages in modern conditions are analyzed, and examples of their practical application in Ukraine and abroad are given. It is concluded that the main challenges of local self-government bodies in the conditions of war are: preserving (or restoring) the pace of economic development of the territorial community; stimulating the activity of local businesses and ensuring the proper standard of living of the population; accommodation, economic support and establishment of communication with internally displaced persons on the territory of the community; involvement of the relocated business in the community; integration of internally displaced persons and relocated businesses into the utility sector of the economy, etc. At the same time, it is emphasized that local economic development cannot be based on the situational adoption of certain decisions, but should be a component of the general system of strategic planning for the development of the territorial community.
