The article analyzes the issues of development of the resource sector of the northern region (on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the context of export and sanctions restrictions. The  “newest” conditions create opportunities for expanding value chains in the mineral resource sector of the region. This implies the consolidation of the production chain “from raw materials to high-tech products” within the country instead of exporting raw materials and low-added products. It is noted that value chains are influenced by multidirectional processes – fragmentation and consolidation. Fragmentation refers to global chains, fragmentation – to local chains. Consolidation of chains is a China’s approach to concentration of high-tech industries within the country; in the current conditions Russia will follow this path. One of the approaches to expanding technological chains is the use of synergistic effects from the implementation of projects in the framework of the formation of mineral resource centers (clusters). Synergy can provide cost savings for projects (logistics, energy supply) when using a common infrastructure. Such synergy is possible within the framework of the implementation of the Tomtor and Popigai projects, which can be combined into a promising mineral resource center. Chain expansion is also possible for gas projects in Yakutia – the possibility of generating ammonia on site and transporting it for subsequent export can be considered.

The discussion on the issue of the impact of international trade on economic growth has been going on for more than a decade and is relevant in the context of the changing economic, political and epidemiological situation in the world. The article provides an overview of approaches and theories in defining the categories of international trade and economic growth. The views of scholars on the impact of international trade on economic growth are also systematized, and the main theses of each group of authors on the nature of the impact of international trade on economic growth are identified. Based on the definition of the role of the influence of international trade on the economic, three hypotheses were put forward: international trade contributes to economic growth (the factors are directly dependent); international trade leads to an economic decline (the factors are inversely related to each other); and international trade does not have any effect on economic growth. Defining the categories of international trade and economic growth through the quantitative values of exports and GDP per capita, respectively, an empirical research base was formed, which was compiled by statistical information on the value of exports and GDP per capita in Russia for the period 1995 – 2021. Significant differences were found in the dynamics of the studied indicators. Thus, up until 2013 and since 2016, the GDP per capita indicator changed in accordance with the dynamics of exports; in the period 2014 – 2015, the indicators changed in different directions, which was due to the influence of the sanctions imposed by the West against the Russian economy. In the process of econometric modeling, linear and power models were used, but the most suitable model for describing the relationship between the studied features was the power model. Evaluation of statistical significance and reliability allows the use of the power model for the analysis. Tightness indicators show that there is a strong relationship between exports and GDP per capita. The estimated coefficient with a regression model factor of more than 1% indicates the elasticity of changes in GDP per capita with changes in export volumes. Thus, for the Russian economy in the period 1995 – 2021, the hypothesis about the positive impact of international trade on economic growth in the country was adopted.

The article briefly discusses the stages in the formation of the state (municipal) financial control in the Russian Federation, as well as the main changes made to the methodology of state (municipal) financial control in recent years in order to increase the effectiveness of its implementation. The changes made to the legislation of the Russian Federation regarding the implementation of internal state (municipal) financial control in recent years have formed the basis for the transition of the goal of control to the assessment of the socio-economic effect obtained from the use of resources. In addition, this article attempts to reveal the impact of internal state (municipal) financial control on the socio-economic development of the subject of the Russian Federation. State financial control is one of the main links of the budget system, while it’s often considered as a tool for subsequent control. At the same time, according to the author, today the main role of financial control is being transformed into a warning one. The increase in the volume of interbudgetary transfers from the federal budget in order to co-finance the expenditure obligations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation necessitates the implementation of control measures. The example of the consolidated budget of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for 2019-2022 shows the dynamics of changes in the revenue side, as well as an increase in spending on budget investments. Also, the author summarizes the main goals in the implementation of control measures by the Office of the Federal Treasury in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The article analyzes the regional aspect of internationalization in the system of higher education in Russia on the example of the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (Yakutsk, Yakutia). NEFU is considered as an institution that socializes Russian and foreign students through facilitating crosscultural communication between them. In May 2022, 116 Chinese and 116 Russian students studying at NEFU were interviewed. Philology, Human Resource Management, and Economics as fields of study were considered. These were the three more popular niches of study among the Chinese students. Preparing of high level specialists by the different specializations of Economics, in the field of management will help to strength personnel pool for the regional economy. Also, for the first time in the regional sociology, the motivation of Russian and Chinese students in the process of studying in the university was studied, a comparative analysis was carried out. The methods of McClelland, Ilyin, and Hofstede, as well as the methods of questionnaires and analytical induction were used. It was revealed that the foreign students demonstrated higher achievement motivation than Russian students. The Chinese students rely on such national character traits as industriousness, discipline, and pragmatism in the process of higher education. At the same time Russians (Yakutians) show such traits of the national mentality as vitality, openness, and communicativeness. The responsibility for establishing effective cross-cultural communication in the university lies mainly on the local residents, and the foreigners expect such activities from them.

The reason is the need to take into account the specifics of the sphere of subsoil use. Marketing information systems, by their functional composition, are mainly focused on enterprises in the field of trade / services, while the activities of geological organizations are aimed at studying the subsurface and obtaining special products in the form of geological reports, other accompanying documents and material media. Therefore, when designing a marketing information system, it is necessary to apply not a standard approach with the search and selection of a “boxed” product, but to design this system, starting with its functional subsystem, with an understanding of the factors that guide potential subsoil users when forming a portfolio of projects. To solve this problem, we propose to apply an ontological approach. The essence of this approach is an attempt to decompose the decision support system in this area into groups of decision-making factors. When making decisions in the field of subsurface use, it is necessary to take into account the prospects of subsurface areas, which is mainly carried out by expert means. To implement the processes of consolidation of expert opinions, we propose to use a model with fuzzy logic. As a result, methodological aspects of the application of an ontological approach to the construction of a marketing information system in the field of subsoil use have been worked out.

This paper presents an analysis of the current situation, reflecting the level of development and distribution on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of such a relatively new type of activity as social entrepreneurship. Analysis of the features of the formation of the sphere of social entrepreneurship by districts of the RS (Y) in the period from 2017 to 2023 includes consideration of quantitative characteristics and structural changes, assessment of the level of activity in the territorial context and by type of activity. Social entrepreneurship is of particular relevance in Russia in connection with the introduction of a special tax regime “Tax on professional income”, since support measures are also provided for self-employed citizens if they carry out socially useful activities. As the results of the study showed, the distribution of socially oriented enterprises in the territory of the republic is extremely uneven, the placement of social business structures, like any other, gravitates towards cities, requiring a developed infrastructure. Nevertheless, given the specifics of social entrepreneurship, its purpose, a great need for it, perhaps, is felt, on the contrary, in places deprived of the full comfort and benefits of civilization, such as, for example, the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where there are more social and economic problems that socially oriented activities would help to solve. Unfortunately, such territories are not particularly attractive for commercial business structures, even those that position themselves as socially oriented. Support measures in the form of subsidies offered under specially developed state programs are intended to influence the situation properly. 

The article deals with organic production as a tool for rational environmental management in the Russian North on the example of the collection, harvesting and processing of wild plants in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Wild plants, being renewable resources, along with other natural resources, are important in socio-economic development. With an irrational approach to their use, the consequences can be catastrophic for the environment, which in turn will contribute to the deterioration of the quality of human life. The article presents and characterizes the main obstacles to the development of harvesting and processing of wild plants in the territory of Yakutia, also what changes followed after they were fixed in strategic documents. Highlighted are the circumstances and factors that can become an obstacle to producers of products from wild raw materials in the transition to organic production.

The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZ RF) is characterized by a low population density, a high index of budget expenditures, and a rich mineral resource base. Taking into account the significant presence of mineral deposits being developed in the Arctic regions, there is a great potential for converting the tax potential of regional budgets into projects aimed at smoothing spatial polarization in the socio-economic sphere of the Arctic regions in general. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the income potential in the Arctic regions on the dynamics of the poverty rate of the population. A comparative analysis of receiving the key budget-forming types of taxes to the budgets of the Arctic regions for the period 2018-2022 was carried out. It is established that in Chukotka, Yamal-Nenets and Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, which are leading in terms of budget revenues per capita, the poverty rates of the population were below the national average. The study examines the relationship between the increase in budget revenues per capita and the dynamics of the poverty rate of the population in the group of Arctic regions. The influence of industrial development of the Arctic on the indicators of regional budget revenues is shown. The focus of state policy in the Russian Arctic should be on reducing the poverty rate in the Arctic regions.

The recent economic changes taking place in Russia are combined with the transformation of the financial and credit system, the emergence of new instruments, mechanisms and institutions for the domestic economy. The goal of a commercial bank is to achieve maximum profit. Banks carry out active operations by placing their funds in various instruments, including various securities. Active operations are own investments, the purpose of their distribution is to increase the sources of additional income, maintain and maintain liquidity and solvency of the balance sheet. The entire banking sector, guided by laws and regulations, each purchase and resale of securities on its own behalf, at its own expense and on its own initiative is an investment operation. In the banking sector, investments represent investments in the securities of enterprises, public and private, usually for a sufficiently long period of time to extract future profits through capital accumulation. JSC “Gazprombank” is one of the largest banks in Russia, positioned as a major universal financial institution and provides a wide range of financial services for individuals and legal entities: it provides settlement and cash services, develops lending programs, attracts funds on deposits, conducts operations in foreign exchange and stock markets. markets. JSC “Gazprombank” offers a fairly large product line of the bank.
