Annotation: The article states the doubt of the adequacy of the known hypotheses about the global influence of CO2 on the climatic deviations of our planet from established norms. The possibility of climatic warming with industrial emissions into the atmosphere of СО2 during the combustion of carbon-containing energy carriers (CEC) by economic systems is considered. Despite the fiasco of the well-known hypotheses, the article fixes their involvement in the economic and political confrontation of economic systems. It is noted that the assessment of the dynamic spatio-temporal system of natural interactions in the biosphere by the concentration of CO2 in the troposphere by one local value is not adequate. In particular, the article reveals that limiting the CO2 cycle by decarbonization of economic systems contradict the very essence of life. It is argued that the decarbonization of economic systems is absolutely irrelevant for the Russian Federation. From which follows the reorientationand resources of economic systems from decarbonization to the solution of their fundamental social problems.

Annotation: The article contains analysis of the real situation in the banking sector on the example of monopoly corporations, reveals the dynamics of their development, diagnoses “weak” points, and also identifies effective ways to improve the activities of corporations in the banking sector. An assessment of the financial condition, financial results and efficiency of the functioning of corporations in the banking sector was carried out, the specifics were considered and the effectiveness of capital management by domestic giants of the banking sector was analyzed. The analysis of the structure of resources of two large domestic banks, the structure of changes in their capital with justification of the reasons was carried out. The capital raising sources are considered and measures are proposed to increase the capital of corporations in the banking sector. On the basis of the study, directions for improving the activities of corporations in the banking sector are proposed.

Annotation: The article discusses the relationship between the green economy and the closed-loop economy. The definition of a closed-loop economy is given; the retrospective stages of its formation are specified. The acts of the European Commission underlying the process of transition to a green economy are analyzed. The authors conclude that the transition to a closed-loop economy is impossible without the development of standards and criteria for the life cycle of the product, taking into account repairs, the return of the resource to production. As this takes place, green financial instruments can be an aid to “green” growth with conservation of resources.

Annotation: The article explores the definition of “digital maturity”, presents the author’s interpretation of the term under consideration. The methodology for determining the “digital maturity” of regions is revealed, which is used to assess the achievement of the national goal of the Russian Federation for the digital transformation of the economy. The main characteristics of “digital maturity” and the hierarchical relationship between subjects are indicated. On the example of one of the regions of Russia, a study was carried out and the results of systematization of problems that impede digitalization were presented. The detailed analysis made it possible to assess the level of “digital maturity” of the Ryazan oblast as a whole and in the context of individual components. The critical approach to the assessment results outlined the existing contradictions between the resulting indicators and the real situation in the economy. A grouping of factors preventing the forming of “digital maturity” of the Ryazan oblast is presented, which made it possible to determine the main directions for improving the regional digital development strategy.

Annotation: The aim of the work was to study the causes, features, factors of investment limitation for financing regional development projects. These aspects are considered as from a theoretical point of view: factors of investment attractiveness and conditions for assessing the investment climate of the region; and from the standpoint of the rating assessment of the investment activity of urban areas of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The method and methodology of the work includes: diagnostics of the specialization of projects implemented in the regions. At the same time, a structural analysis of costs made it possible to identify causal relationships in the dynamics of development indicators of Russian regions. The time series method was used to assess regional indicators: the volume of residential buildings put into operation, the number of permits for building territories, the volume of investments in fixed capital. The subject of the study is the analysis of the types of sectoral specialization of the regions, on the basis of which pilot infrastructure development projects are being implemented: agriculture and the food industry, metallurgy and mechanical engineering; transport and shipbuilding, fishing. The study of the possibilities of implementing investment projects is considered through a system of problems: a high level of costs for differentiation of territories and zoning of industrial zones for the integrated development of the region; lack of new territorial planning schemes; restrictions on investment in rural development. The results of the work are the classification of investments for the purpose of concentrating business in the regions by enlarged groups: investments in the extraction of minerals (the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District); investments in ecological tourism and manufacturing (regions of the Central Federal District); investment in fish processing (regions of the Northwestern Federal District). The substantiation of the research results is described through a system of investment mechanisms involving the services of credit institutions and executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The scope of the results is the study of the relationship between the mechanisms for investing in regional development projects and the results of improving territories, their integrated development, development and improving the quality of life of society on the example of the regions of the Northwestern Federal District. The introduction of successful practices for the integrated development of territories has been studied from the standpoint of analyzing the quality of investments in projects for the modernization of territorial infrastructure development. The article emphasizes the role of activating entrepreneurial activity in the regions of the Northwestern Federal District to increase the level of infrastructural regional development. Conclusions: on the basis of the results of the assessment of the rating of regions with high investment activity, the leading regions in the system of economic development were identified: Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. The economic development potential of these regions will improve the practice of attracting budgetary and private investments in other subjects of the Russian Federation and improve the quality of life in society.
