Stepanets I. Regulation of investment support processes of socio-economic development of the region in terms of decentralization

The dissertation is a manuscript in which the theoretical and methodical bases and practical recommendations of investment maintenance of social and economic development of the region in the conditions of decentralization are developed and substantiated. In the work as a result of the analysis of decentralization as a tool to ensure sustainable development of the regional system, an algorithm for implementing the decentralization process to achieve a high level of sustainable development, which is a sequence of defined steps. Approaches to grouping the factors of investment attractiveness by the criterion of invariance / variability over time are defined as follows: "hard" and "soft". Peculiarities of forming the investment climate of the region in the conditions of decentralization are that the main task for regions and separate territorial units is to create favorable conditions for attracting and attracting investors, as well as constant support in the future. The connection between the level of sustainability of the budgets of the united territorial communities is substantiated, which provides a higher probability of achieving a high level of stability of the budget of the united territorial communities by attracting additional funds and development opportunities in investment-attractive regions. The parameters of the state's decentralization policy in the context of market and economic transformations of the regions, which manifested themselves during the period of reforms through the level of democratization of society, expanding the importance of local self-government, transfer of powers and resources to lower levels of public administration, activation of local communities interests, implementation of the mechanism of self-regulation of regional development. The generalizations of the regularities of the decentralization processes, as well as the specification of the dynamic guidelines of the process of unification of territorial communities allowed to determine the peculiarities of the formation of the investment climate of the region. The application of the approach to integrated assessment of investment potential of territorial communities of the region in the process of their unification is proposed based on the definition of the relevant integrated indicator as a result of the ratio of generalized assessments of indicators favorable for investment attractiveness. Conceptual bases of strategy of development of the region in the conditions of decentralization which provides a certain algorithm of realization consisting of three steps are developed. The existing methods of assessing the effectiveness of the region's investment policy have been critically analyzed, supplemented and improved. Measures for application of program-target methods of budget financing planning at realization of investment strategy are defined.
