The achievement of the Millennium Development Goals is at the centre of sustainable development. Sustainable rural development is vital to the economic, social and environmental viability of nations. It is essential for poverty eradication since global poverty is overwhelmingly rural. The manifestation of poverty goes beyond the urban-rural divide; it has sub-regional and regional contexts. It is therefore critical, and there is great value to be gained, to coordinate rural development initiatives that contribute to sustainable livelihoods through efforts at the global, regional, national and local levels, as appropriate. Strategies to deal with rural development should take into consideration the remoteness and potential in rural areas and provide targeted differentiated approaches. A healthy and dynamic agricultural sector is an important foundation of rural development, generating strong linkages to other economic sectors. Rural livelihoods are enhanced through effective participation of rural people and rural communities in the management of their own social, economic and environmental objectives by empowering people in rural areas, particularly women and young people, including through organisations such as local young people cooperative, and by applying a bottom-up approach.

In recent decades, the pervasive influence of social media on the economy, particularly within the marketing and advertising sector, has become increasingly evident. This investigation delves into the multifaceted role played by social networks in shaping consumer trends, tracing their evolution from rudimentary online communities to pivotal marketing platforms. Leveraging their capacity to accumulate intricate user data, social networks have forged novel pathways for the implementation of targeted advertising initiatives. Consequently, they are instigating transformative developments within the advertising sector, propelling the advancement of innovative and individualized advertising strategies. This article endeavors to scrutinize these dynamic processes and shed light on the principal trends and challenges confronting the contemporary advertising sector within the prevailing backdrop of the escalating influence of social media. Preceding the emergence of social media, consumer behavior predominantly relied on traditional media sources. However, the advent of social media has substantially broadened the accessibility of information, encompassing reviews and recommendations, thereby exerting a notable impact on consumer decision-making processes. Social media platforms establish a robust word-of-mouth system and afford influencers the capacity to shape consumer trends. The customization of content on social media not only presents novel marketing prospects but also engenders inquiries regarding the safeguarding of privacy and confidentiality. Scientific evidence supports the assertion that social influence significantly contributes to the domain of consumer choice. Research has demonstrated that the observation of online choices made by friends or acquaintances exerts an influence on individual decisions. This phenomenon stimulates a desire for social approval and imitation, wherein individuals are inclined to undertake actions akin to those in their social milieu, either to foster a sense of belonging to a group or to sustain their social standing. The consequences of such influence assume a pivotal role in shaping consumer behavior and decision-making processes. In light of this influential factor, it is plausible to anticipate a trajectory wherein marketing strategies incorporating social media and influencer marketing will evolve toward heightened levels of personalization. Brands are likely to persist in exploring methodologies that facilitate the organic engagement of consumers through social connections.

Moreover, the phenomenon of greenwashing in green building is covered briefly, with outlining possible ways of its reducing. It is emphasized that although green certification of construction is a sound driver of enhancing environmental sustainability of projects, it, at the same time, contains a significant pitfall – a loophole for greenwashing, and this fact requires specific attention of both market participants and regulators.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy in the challenging economic environment, it is important to ensure coordination, coherence and consistency of the work of state regulators. Fiscal and monetary instruments and tools should help overcome short-term macroeconomic shocks and achieve long-term macroeconomic stability. The purpose of the academic paper is to study the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy in the challenging economic environment on the example of Ukraine. The research methodology included methods of structural analysis of the basic instruments of fiscal and monetary policy used in conditions of macroeconomic instability and war. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of fiscal policy in the time of challenging economic conditions in Ukraine. It’s crucial to move swiftly to government initiatives and regulatory mitigation during a macroeconomic shock. Reducing the tax burden on the private sector is one of the most significant budgetary tools. At the same time, the budget execution was ensured by tax and non-tax revenues (domestic taxes, income taxes, taxes on profits, market value, and income from property and business activities, official transfers). The effectiveness of monetary policy in the context of a rapid decline in GDP and rising inflation has been ensured by the exchange rate fixation, foreign exchange interventions, and a systemic inflation targeting policy. The effectiveness of the NBU’s monetary policy is achieved through the formation of sufficient capital in the financial sector, provisions to cover non-performing loans in the 2022 crisis, and maintaining operating profitability through interest income.

The article addresses the issue of ensuring financial stability after the end of military conflicts and the country’s recovery from the crisis.

International organizations, as subjects and guarantors of international security, aim to ensure peace, security, human rights and freedoms, and the principles of equality and justice. However, due to changes in the system of international relations and the growing number of threats, international bodies face a number of challenges in promoting and strengthening international security, including conflict resolution, prevention and mitigation, control of arms and activities of terrorist groups, and peaceful settlement of disputes and controversies. The purpose of the article is to outline the main challenges and prospects of cooperation between international organizations in ensuring international security. The study uses analytical methods to assess the results of cooperation between international structures to guarantee international security in the following dimensions: military-political, economic, social and humanitarian. The results indicate the existence of a number of challenges related to the military-political, economic and socio-humanitarian dimensions of international security. Within the military-political dimension of cooperation, the author focuses on the mortality rate of personnel involved in peacekeeping operations by international organizations. In addition, the ineffectiveness of peacekeeping operations is revealed, with significant amounts of their funding, which is manifested in the growth of peaceful protests in various countries. The study of cooperation between international structures to promote international security confirms the increase in funding for various areas of life at the expense of national programmes. The analysis of the social and humanitarian dimension of international security shows that international organizations are making significant efforts to address the humanitarian crises resulting from conflicts. The challenge, however, is the inability of international entities to fully cover humanitarian issues.

The issue of citizens’ participation in political life is always of particular relevance since the active involvement of citizens in political processes is one of the crucial principles of democracy that contributes to its strengthening. The purpose of the research is to analyze the benefits of involving citizens in public administration processes, to identify the major mechanisms and practices of public participation in public administration, the challenges related to their implementation, and ways to overcome them. The research methodology is based on two key theories of democracy: participatory and deliberative, which focus on the justification of the ideas of citizens’ participation in political life (discussion and political decision-making). The research results made it possible to identify both the key benefits of citizens’ participation in public administration and the problems that arise when citizens try to influence political decisions at different levels. In the course of the research, it has been established that civic participation in public administration contributes to increasing the effectiveness and legitimacy of governance and strengthening democracy. It helps people develop a clear awareness of their place in the political decision-making process, giving them the ability to have an impact on national, regional, or local politics. It has been determined that civic participation has a wide range of mechanisms; however, in the vast majority of cases, public authorities use information tools. Information technologies (e-government) are becoming an important tool for expanding citizens’ participation in governance processes. This provides an opportunity to involve a wider range of citizens in discussions or proposals. The major problems related to both the low level of civic engagement and the officials’ lacks of interest in involving citizens in decision-making processes are outlined.

The academic paper is devoted to the study of the impact of corporate social responsibility on the financial indicators of business enterprises since the development of social responsibility in business and the analysis of the impact of corporate social responsibility on profitability in the modern world are becoming urgent tasks for determining the directions of development. The focus on achieving social goals and consideration of their impact on the environment becomes significant both for the business and for consumers and society as a whole. In this context, determining the relationship between corporate social responsibility and the financial success of enterprises becomes an important task that requires detailed analysis and the determination of optimal management strategies to achieve qualitative and quantitative indicators. The research is aimed at uncovering effective strategies for combining social goals with ensuring profitability, which can serve as a basis for the development of new approaches to corporate governance and strategies for sustainable business development in the modern global market environment. The academic paper analyzes strategies for implementing the principles of corporate social responsibility at enterprises and their impact on profitability, as well as the main areas in which they can have a positive or negative impact on the financial results of companies. The main attention is paid to the interaction between social and economic aspects of enterprise activity; examples of successful initiatives and their impact on the image and reputation of domestic companies are given. In addition, the factors that can affect the profitability of enterprises in the context of the implementation of corporate social responsibility, such as the cost of initiatives, the involvement of social resources, and the reaction of consumers to socially responsible activities, were determined.

It has been empirically established that information systems in the hotel industry exhibit economic viability and effectiveness when they generate additional income for the hotel, confer competitive advantages in the market, augment market share, curtail costs, enhance the service process, and improve the efficiency of individual departments as well as the hotel as a whole. Furthermore, the implementation of such systems can fundamentally transform the methodological, informational, and technological components of management processes, elevating them to a qualitatively new and more efficient level, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of service within the hotel. Statistical data indicates that Ukraine lags leading developed nations in terms of information technology implementation and automation of hotel management. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian market holds promising potential for further advancements in this domain, owing to the existence of more than ten high-quality, modern hotel management automation systems. Moreover, some of those systems are originally developed by Ukrainian companies rather than adapted from foreign systems. Consequently, these systems are better tailored to the unique conditions prevalent in Ukraine. The integration of such systems will exert a substantial positive impact on the competitiveness of hotels in Ukraine. Consequently, it can be deduced that the adoption of new technologies by society holds the potential to significantly enhance the outcomes of human endeavors. These technological advancements offer effective solutions to various challenges encountered by institutions, including hotels. The primary objectives of a hotel encompass accommodating guests, delivering a range of services, managing room reservations, and more. Through the utilization of these technologies, these tasks can be accomplished not only with utmost quality but also expeditiously and at reduced resource costs. The hospitality and tourism industry operates on a global scale, encompassing major airlines, hotel networks, and travel corporations worldwide.

It has been proved that integration processes in modern conditions are carried out within the framework of a “non-linear” model, and the processes of globalization and regionalization significantly complement each other. As the limit of reducing tariff barriers to trade has been reached, the obvious way to expand economic interactions is to reduce non-tariff barriers and further harmonize domestic economic policies, which has begun to give rise to mixed integration formats. The process of regionalization began to create conditions for increasing trade in the world within the framework of reducing non-tariff barriers, thus, complementing the functions of the WTO, in particular through establishing open trade blocs, significantly increasing the costs of armed conflicts between countries. Moreover, the trade agreements that are being implemented are now seen as the basis for the creation of large trade formats in the global economy. Along with the obvious achievements, the current process of international economic integration faces challenges, including as follows: significant complications of the integration process due to the transformation of free trade rules and manifestations of discrimination; unsystematic fragmentation of the global economic space in terms of creating trade mega-formats, and even the exclusion of some countries from the processes of harmonization of trade relations; manifestation of disintegration in the context of creating barriers in a number of key economies of the world as a result of the expansion of trade protectionism, which can lead to large-scale trade conflicts and narrow the functions of the multilateral regulation system of trade interactions. It is noted that these challenges can significantly affect the integration directions in the global and subglobal dimensions. The heterogeneity of economies is indeed one of the factors that significantly adjust the integration processes in the world.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the rapid development of digital technologies and the need to harmonize accounting standards at the international level. The transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires enterprises to adapt their accounting systems and analytical methods, opening the way for innovations. The study aims to identify the impact of innovative accounting systems on the optimization of financial reporting. It focuses on the accounting and control processes at enterprises that adapt to IFRS. The article employs a theoretical approach based on the formation of conceptual provisions on IFRS and the assessment of innovative accounting technologies’ impact on financial information quality. It has been found that automation of accounting processes and integration of systems with IFRS improve data accuracy and optimize decision-making processes. The implementation of artificial intelligence and Big Data analysis technologies allows for a deeper analysis of financial indicators and the identification of trends and potential risks. Therefore, they increase the information value of reporting for investors and other stakeholders. Research findings have practical implications for companies’ management seeking to improve administrative performance and increase transparency for external users of financial statements. Innovations in accounting can serve as a catalyst for optimizing analytical procedures and contribute to the unification of international reporting. They open up new opportunities for effective management of enterprise resources.

Currently, a global trend toward intensification of processes at the subregional level and development of integration processes is observed. The development of the activities of Ukraine’s regions represents the outlined trend in the form of intensification of disintegration processes, primarily economic ones. The purpose of the academic paper is to analyze the interaction between the features of regional policy and economic development. The research was conducted using general scientific methods: synthesis, analysis, abstraction, specification, comparison, and generalization. In the course of the research, the role of the political regional concept in shaping the specifics of economic processes has been investigated. It has been determined that the synergistic context of individual regional political models should be positioned as an effective concept of management policy. Priority approaches to the formation and implementation of regional policy in Ukraine have been highlighted, and the problems of regional development have been identified. The basic components of the newest paradigm of regional policy at the current stage of development have been proposed. A universal model of the innovative concept of synergistic regional political strategy has been developed, and its effectiveness in the current economic realities has been predicted. It has been proven that the synergistic approach is focused on effective communication and the formation of effective interconnections. The practical significance of the research results lies in the expediency of their use in the formation of regional policy to achieve the goals of improving the efficiency of their economic activity. Based on the research results, priority areas for further scientific studies on the relevant topic are proposed, and the necessity of practical testing of theoretical and methodological developments in the field of research is substantiated.

The question of the relationship between the green and digital economies is extremely important in terms of preserving the planet and ensuring sustainable development. The purpose of the study is to establish the relationship between the green and digital economies by combining the general and specific characteristics that arise under the conditions of sustainable development. The presented research uses the following methods: analysis and synthesis to determine the main features of digital and green economies, induction and deduction to determine the directions of further development of economic processes within the framework of sustainable development; an expert method for determining the assessment of the degree of influence of groups of factors of the external environment on the relationship between the digital and green economy, a graphic method for visual display of research results. In order to build a relationship between the green and digital economies, the authors suggested establishing a balance between their features. When comparing the digital and green economies, their regularities were revealed, which made it possible to build a system of interconnection of the green and digital economies. This makes it possible to implement infrastructure projects, form a state order for the development of new and development of existing digital platforms, form the ability to implement elements of high-tech transport and communal infrastructure, develop the institute of green finance, green financial instruments, as well as green trends in tax and investment policy, promote formation of green economy clusters and others. Uncovering and studying the relationship between the green and digital economy becomes an effective way to overcome the crisis situation when the economy is growing.

Financial technologies have significantly influenced the structure of financial markets and instruments used in the modern high-tech environment. The article aimed to outline the impact and significance of financial technologies in shaping new financial instruments and markets. The research methodology included general scientific methods of analysis (statistical and structural), synthesis, induction, and deduction, as well as case study techniques to assess the role of financial technologies in the development of the financial technology sector and digital banking. The results demonstrate a substantial contribution of financial technologies to digitizing financial markets and instruments. Financial innovations and technologies serve as new structural elements of the financial sector. They are implemented in the following forms: new products (such as new types of securities); new technologies (such as credit scoring, ATMs); new institutions (such as venture capitalists, mutual investment funds, fintech startups/unicorns, and financial service providers). Digitization has led to the development of new forms of the following services: banking activities (neo-banking, virtual banking, and digital banking); products and financial instruments (digital currencies, electronic money, digital payments); tools for providing financial services (marketplaces, digital platforms, mobile applications, Internet banking based on websites). On the one hand, financial innovations create regulatory issues and systemic risks. However, their potential ensures cost reduction in the financial sector, scalability, expansion of activities beyond national markets, increased profitability, as well as more convenient and user-friendly services.
