Abstract:
The issues of modernizing public finances to support veteran business in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the socioeconomic instability in its wake are relevant and consistent with the philosophy of the Ukrainian Peace Formula that is widely discussed by the President of Ukraine with stakeholders, e. g. at the Global Peace Summit. The adjustment and approximation of public finances to the real needs of veterans’ businesses is determined by its significant importance in economic recovery after the Russian-Ukrainian war, creating new jobs, promoting the financial autonomy of local governments and increasing social stability in general and the veteran community in particular. Admittedly, running a veteran business in wartime is highly crisis-prone, requiring the use of an unorthodox set of anti-crisis tools embodied in the State support (in all manifestation forms), setting public finances to the forefront in ensuring the sustainability of veteran business and its sustainable progress in the period of post-war recovery. The aim of the study is to systematize the problems faced by veteran business in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as to develop recommendations for the modernization of public finances to ensure its resilience. The authors focus on the need to create new financial instruments that will take into account war risks, in particular considering veterans’ access to preferential lending, grant programs to support their businesses, also the introduction of tax benefits, taking into account the requirements contained in the National Revenue Strategy until 2030. Special attention is paid to the digitalization of veteran business and the development of psychological support programs for veterans as one of the key approaches in ensuring the resilience of veteran business. Due to this resilience, veterans’ businesses resist economic uncertainty, destruction of infrastructure (particularly in the energy sector), a decrease in the domestic purchasing power of the population, limited access to financial resources. In order to develop the level of resilience of veteran business, the need to create innovative financial instruments, including government guarantees for loans and business risk insurance, has been proposed and substantiated. The results of the study also highlight the importance of government support for further progress in the digitalization of veteran business through grant funding and specialized training programs. Thus, the modernization of public finances is a prerequisite for ensuring additional resilience of veteran business both during the war and in the process of post-war reconstruction. The authors offer specific recommendations for the modernization of public finances, which include the integration of new support mechanisms adapted to the specifics of veteran business in the face of economic uncertainty and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
