The balance of supply and demand has been determined. The analysis of economic indicators of the world oil market, such as the geographical structure and dynamics of the physical volumes of proven oil reserves, the geographical structure and dynamics of oil production for 2016–2020, was carried out. Since oil is the most traded commodity on the world market, the article describes the structure of world oil exports in 2016–2020, and also examines the dynamics of the value of international oil trade in 2016–2020.

The purpose of the study is the investigation of digitalization areas and the development of digital technologies in the European Union (EU), including their role in the issues of the green economy creation. The research also systemizes forms of PPPs and their role in provision of sufficient digital technological independence of the European Union. The study is based on a comprehensive approach to the consideration of socio-economic problems of regional development of the EU, including a systematic comparative analysis, economic and statistical method. Experience of useful samples of public-private partnerships aimed at regional technological independence is herewith analyzed . As a result of the conducted research, the structure of the planned digital transformation of the region is determined, its main goals and objectives are highlighted, the forms of public-private partnerships designed to promote further digitalization in the EU are characterized, the role of planned innovations in the further socio-economic development of the region is studied. The study focuses on the aspects of integrated digitalization relevant to the Russian Federation and its potential partners and the corresponding PPP mechanisms.

The Republic of Crimea and Israel are similar in terms of their territory parameters, physical and geographical features, in which the climate plays a special role. The purpose of the article is to compare existing approaches and innovative technological solutions that have revolutionized the use of water resources and the development of irrigation in Israel, and in the Crimea can be used to achieve this.

Annotation: The study of global financial crises should help not only to understand their causes of crises but also helps to teach economists to quickly and painlessly get out of them. Society strives to improve the quality and standard of its life, all this is achieved through sustainable economic growth. It should be noted that the long-term economic growth is not uniform, and there are constant periods of economic instability. The economy has the property of cyclicality, which implies crises, growth and decreases. Society and the state always strive for the peak of economic development. However the country’s economy cannot always be at its peak as after a growth recessions always occur. Almost every country suffers from global financial crises but it is worth noting that the degree of its influence on the country’s economy depends only on how strongly the country is developed. An economic crisis is a situation in the national economy when there is a sharp decline in production. When an imbalance occurs in economic relations, a crisis occurs in the economy. Studying various directions in the economy, various reasons for the emergence of the crisis are identified. For example, the Austrian school believes that the causes of crises are the accumulation of erroneous investments when information is distorted in the market, and market participants invest in losing assets. According to Karl Marx, the market is oversaturated for market economy reasons, as well as for the producers’ desire to increase profits, thereby creating overproduction.

Annotation: The subject of the research is the experience of public-private partnership in Europe aimed at catalyzed development and implementation of the newest technologies. The purpose of the study is to detect important and useful for many countries (including Russia и Eurasian Economic Union) methods, institutions and forms for effective technological cooperation management between state and private actors of innovation systems of countries and regions of the world economy. Methodology and methods of the study lie in the field of comparative research, synthesis of logical, historical, and systematic analysis. Experience of national and international technological PPP-forms’ creation and perfection, useful for competent state actors and private entrepreneurs qualify as results of the study. The material can be applicable for education in subjects like international and world economy, management and innovation. Author concludes that science-technological cooperation tasks under the global Industrial Revolution 4.0 become more complicated and they cannot be fulfilled without PPP-forms’ enforcement combined with development of special-purpose federal structures to support those PPPs (complimentary-type institutions to support innovation).
