Economic and Legal Instruments for Ensuring the Financial Security of the Russian Federation in Modern Conditions

Abstract

The article analyzes current threats to financial security and assesses the effectiveness of economic and legal instruments for countering them in the context of geopolitical risks, economic sanctions, exchange rate fluctuations and instability in international markets. The author reveals the concepts and essence of financial security, considers its key features and concludes that trends in changes in gross domestic product, inflation and the exchange rate against the backdrop of geopolitical events have a significant impact on the country’s financial security. The author reveals the mechanisms of influence of geopolitical risks on the financial system and shows that financial security as an element of national security requires rethinking the strategy of protection in the face of growing threats. The article proposes economic and legal measures to respond to and counteract geopolitical risks. It is shown that in the context of sanctions pressure, mechanisms of autonomization of legal regulation that allow protecting national interests acquire a special role. The article proves that financial security in the face of geopolitical challenges requires a systemic approach that combines legal and economic instruments. At the same time, it is important not only to counteract existing threats to the country’s financial security, but also to form a proactive strategy that will be able to withstand geopolitical challenges in the long term.
