Annotation: The article characterizes the metric system of a person’s decent life as the basis for assessing the qualitative integrity of the creative and intellectual form of individual and social human capital. A decomposition model of the parameters of a decent life is proposed, including separately the metrics of a decent level and a decent quality of life. The methodological basis of the article is structural-genetic and interdisciplinary approaches to the problem of qualitative analysis of key phenomena characterizing the subject perspective of the study. The scientific novelty of the provisions and conclusions lies in the development of a new system of parameters for a decent level and decent quality of life for an individual; the forming of a metric system of a worthy life for the individual as an integrity that determines the axiological and spiritual-moral vector of creative work activity; proof of the need to include in the national innovation system (NIS) a person living with dignity with a list of parameters for the qualitative integrity of his creative and intellectual capital. The scientific and practical sig- nificance of the proposed conclusions and recommendations lies in clarifying the interpretation of key concepts (decent life, decent standard of living and quality of life of the same name), as well as in justifying the need to implement the practical tasks of the state’s socio-economic policy aimed at the “targeted” and targeted forma- tion of a decent life of every Russian household.

Annotation: In this article, the authors implement an integrated approach and offer systematic analytical material devoted to current problems of international labor migration and its impact on the economic security of the state. An analysis of current statistical data on the directions, structure and dynamics of migration processes is carried out using the example of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the positive and negative consequences of the increas- ing scale of cross-border movement of labor in the conditions of the new economic reality. The migration influx makes it possible to fill the existing shortage of labor resources, reduce the severity of the demographic problem, but at the same time additional problems arise related to the protection of national interests and ensuring national security. Particular attention is paid to the financial consequences associated with the increased burden on the budget when implementing government support measures for migrants. The results of the study can be used in developing public policy, including those aimed at optimizing migration flows, taking into account the need to protect national interests and ensure the economic security of the Russian Federation, as well as solving the demographic problem.

Annotation: The article examines the specifics of the relationship between the high-tech sector and digitalization for the development of Russia. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, four approaches are identified that reflect the connection and influence of digitalization in the development of entrepreneurship, industry and territory. As a fundamental component in the study, based on the considered approaches, the direction related to the technological development of territories is taken into account, which is aimed at activating opportunities in the field of information technology. To determine the specifics of the relationship between the high-tech sector and digitalization, an assessment of the export and import of information technology products (IT products) is carried out. The application of an approach to the assessment of exports and imports of IT products is justi- fied. A classification (based on the OECD approach) has been identified for the assessment, which includes a breakdown by product groups: computers and peripheral equipment; communication equipment; digital and consumer electronics; electronic components; miscellaneous. The trends in global trade in the export and import of IT products are analyzed and the Russian specifics in this segment for a 19-year period (from 2004 to 2023) are identified. Promising positions in the field of digital technologies in the global IT product market are identified.

Annotation: The financial system is based on the processing and aggregation of vast amounts of information into price signals that coordinate economic participants. Throughout history, advances in information technology, from simple record-keeping to artificial intelligence, have transformed the financial industry. This article examines the evolution of the financial sector through the lens of advances in information processing, with a particular focus on AI. The analysis of how generative AI (GenAI), emerging AI agents, and general artificial intelligence will affect finance is conducted. It assesses the opportunities and challenges posed to the financial sector by different generations of AI, including machine learning (ML), generative AI (GenAI), and emerging AI agents. The impact of AI on financial stability and the risk of AI-induced disrup- tions to the real sector are considered. In light of these ideologies and the increasing adoption of AI, the author has outlined the implications of developments in AI for financial stability and prudential policies. The article discusses the potential impacts on the real economy, examining both optimistic and destructive scenarios involving AI. The author emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in order to develop a framework for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the global financial system.

Annotation: The central bank’s digital currencies can become an effective payment policy tool, helping to eliminate market dis- ruptions and stimulating competition and innovation in new digital payment markets. In this regard, the topic of this work is undoubtedly relevant. The article is devoted to the study of the factors of central banks for the development and implementation of digital currency initiatives of the central bank (DCCB), as well as their advantages. The article first examines the concept and main forms of implementation of digital currencies of the central bank. The article examines the general-purpose digital currencies of the central bank, which can technically be implemented in two formats: in the form of deposit accounts with the central bank for all households, corporations and digital tokenized currencies based on distributed ledger technology. It is revealed that among the arguments of the monetary authorities in favor of currencies, the following motives can be distinguished: global competition, duopolistic or oligopolistic market structure, dominance of foreign payment providers, reduction of cash in circulation. In addition, the main advantage of the DCCB is precisely the increase in the competitiveness of payments and their efficiency.
