Abstract

Introduction. Industry serves as the basis for meeting the needs of the national market and building a powerful export potential of the country. The public financial policy should aim at creating favorable conditions for investing in industry, which determines the relevance of the research.

Purpose. The objective of the paper is to carry out a comparative analysis of the main mechanisms of the public financial policy of the industrialized countries of the world, to identify the existing trends in the development of industry in Ukraine, and to make recommendations on borrowing of the global experience in Ukraine.

Results. A comparison of the mechanisms of implementation of the public financial policy in the industry of the United States, China, Japan, Germany, the Great Britain, Italy, and France has been carried out. The trends of industrial development in Ukraine have been determined.

The scientific novelty consists in the recommendations suggested by the authors for ensuring the effective development of the industry, namely: in the creation of the State Innovation Bank, which would undertake soft lending of innovative projects and in the exemption from taxation of d enterprises in the event of their merger with a loss-making enterprise. Thus, the state will promote the creation of conditions for the progressive technological development of industry, increase its innovation and investment attractiveness. Enterprises will receive additional or cheaper financial resources, which will be able to invest in modernization and upgrading of productions, primarily high-tech. In view of the effective intended use of resources released as a result of taxation, it is suggested to conclude a special agreement between the controlling body and the taxpayer, according to which the payer will assume the obligation to effectively dispose of the financial resources.
