Economic security is an important aspect of the successful functioning of the state. In the very first approximation, it is the protection of the financial, material and economic interests of the country, the enterprise and the individual. The President, various ministries and departments are responsible for planning and organizing economic security at the State level, while the control function is performed by the State Control Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
To maintain economic security at every level, talented professionals with a certain set of competencies are needed. Such specialists should be able to prevent illegal actions, analyze data, make decisions, manage risks, use resources efficiently, and recognize threats.
An expert in the field of economic security is not just an economist, but a specialist who has a deep knowledge of economic processes, financial instruments, international relations and legislation.
