Abstract

The article examines the organisational and economic mechanism of

state regulation of sustainable development of the national economy of

Ukraine. The relevance of the topic is due to the complex challenges

faced by the country as a result of war, economic and political instability,

global crises and internal structural changes. The author emphasises the

critical importance of finding new approaches to the development of a

deeply transformed socio-economic system that would ensure stability,

recovery and focus on long-term sustainable development goals. The au-

thor emphasises the key role of the state in combining short-term mea-

sures to restore infrastructure and the economy with long-term strategies

that meet the principles of sustainability. The importance of integrating

social (employment, inclusiveness, quality of life), economic (innovative

development, investment) and environmental priorities in the processes

of state regulation is substantiated. The author points out the need to op-

timise public administration mechanisms for efficient use of resources,

attract international assistance, stimulate the “green economy”, support

innovation and adapt regulatory instruments to the conditions of war and

reconstruction. It is proved that the development of a comprehensive ap-

proach to state regulation, which integrates the principles of sustainable

development into the economic policy of Ukraine, is necessary to ensure

stability and gradual growth of the national economy even in conditions

of instability and compliance with modern global sustainability trends.
