The article discusses the monitoring of individual socio-economic indicators in the context of strategic planning documents. The legal nature of strategic planning is examined. It is determined by the need to improve the directions of ensuring economic security in modern conditions. Economic security is considered as a part of national security. It is determined by an integrated management system based on the implementation of the Strategy of Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. The monitoring of economic security processes as an integral part of ensuring national security determines the directions of economic and financial well-being and personal protection, as well as identifies and updates thresholds and targets at which negative trends increase challenges and threats to national security. For successful functioning of the economic monitoring system in the Russian Federation it is necessary to improve the normative documents of strategic planning, which should be formed taking into account national interests, in particular, aimed at economic growth of the country. It is proposed to create institutions capable of timely monitoring of the entire security system, identifying the main factors negatively affecting this system, as well as developing modern methods to improve its efficiency. Such institutions should be based on laws and legally implemented, taking into account the costs of their implementation provided by the budget. The results of the study may be in demand by legislative and executive authorities in the formation of pricing policy in a new economic model at the present stage. Acknowledgments: The article was prepared in accordance with the topic of the state assignment "Changing the institutional foundations of the economic security of the Russian Federation in new conditions".

In the context of increasing geopolitical competition and sanctions restrictions, it is necessary to revise a number of established views on the features of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation, and the practices related to financing scientific research associated with these views. Among such views, the concept of backwardness advantage, which has long been inconsistent with the realities of the modern world, plays the key role. The author believes that budgetary policy in the field of financing science should be subordinated to the tasks of ensuring the technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation. The latter implies a reversal of the current trend of unreasonably low rates of increase in Federal budget expenditures for financing scientific research. However, the Draft Federal Budget for 2024 and the planning period of 2025 and 2026 does not provide for corresponding changes. Maintaining the current situation in the field of budgetary financing of science, especially fundamental research, is fraught with significant threats to Russia's national economic security.

The article examines the importance of competition in a modern market economy and its impact on the development of scientific and technological progress. The issues of the importance of unfair competition and the consequences of its manifestation for the country's economy are discussed. The definition of unfair competition is also given. General characteristics, classification of methods and forms of unfair competition are suggested. The main theoretical aspects of unfair competition as a threat to economic security for companies and the state as a whole are analyzed.

The article analyzes the prospects for the creation of a single BRICS currency as an element of the global monetary and financial system of the future. The scope of the Anglo-Saxon core of the modern international monetary financial system based on the activities of financial holdings is shown. The prospects of internationalization of the yuan as a leading currency capable of becoming the central element of the new BRICS currency are considered. The main constraints to the yuan expansion are identified. An analysis of the prospects for the development of the digital yuan is presented. The experience of the transferable ruble of the USSR as an example for the creation of a model of a new BRICS currency is discussed.

Despite the serious growth of the state defense order, the issue of diversifying the activities of military-industrial companies does not lose its relevance. It is necessary to create a practical system of production of civilian products by the defense companies, as well as to further justify it scientifically. To date, the main problems in the diversification of defense companies are methodological, organizational, institutional, and socio-economic ones in nature. The objectives of diversification should correspond to both public public interests and private corporate interests. The authors suggest to create institutional conditions which are in the best interest of the country. These are the following conditions: the formation of a regulatory framework, a special administrative and legal regime, a system of technology transfer and management of intellectual property results, state support, etc.; the creation of a management system that includes three levels (federal, sectoral, companies); improving the quality of life in the territories of the presence of defense industry organizations. It is proposed to begin the development of the necessary regulatory framework by developing a concept for diversifying the activities of military-industrial companies.
