Resume

The complexity and ambiguity of the processes of the regional development which are stipulated by the influence of the inner and outer variety of the factors, lead to the occurrence of the significant changes in the functioning of the regional economic systems which conversely cause the structural transformations of the regional development. The existing contradiction between immensely growing needs and limited resources in the regional economic system causes the necessity of their concentration on the priority spheres of its social-and-economic development and respectively the search for the course of accomplishment of regional structural policy. Consequently, the choice of priorities is the first component of the structural policy by logic and significance. The effective regional structural policy has to take into consideration the criteria of the priorities’ choice and to have its background on the weighed application of various instruments of disparity removal and balance renewal on the middle level. The aim of the article is to define the character and level of economic stability of the region as a result of the investigation of intensity of its structural processes and revelation of the number of factors which forms its structural priorities today. The investigation is accomplished in the example of Rivne region. In the article the evaluation of the structural changes in the regional economy according to the main forms of activity is accomplished (in the example of Rivne region), the analysis of its industrial potential and reproductive economic structure is held, and also the prospects of the structural correction of economy of this region for the nearest period is proved on the basis of the prediction of the gross value added. As a result of the evaluation of economy’s structure of Rivne region it is analyzed how stably and intensively the changes are being made in the economy’s structure of this region. As a result of the investigation the transformation of the economy’s structure of the region is revealed, namely its diversion from economy which is oriented to services into the industrial oriented economy owing to the increase of the industrial share in the total structure of the regional output and accordingly reduction of share of traditional for this region economic activity. The character of transformational processes in the economy of this region is analyzed and the priority tasks for the region for the nearest perspective in the light of these transformations are set. It is discovered that the leading spheres, that are the points of economic increase of the region according to the share of sphere in total volume of gross value added, happened to be the industry, other types of services and agronomy. Additional attention, especially during the formation of the regional policy and elaboration of the strategies for the regional development for the nearest and distant perspective, should be paid to the spheres of education, care of public health, financial activity and other types of social services.
