Abstract

Evaluating the current economic situation, it can be argued that without interest in alternative investments, the possibilities for further economic development have been exhausted. Under these conditions, the investment sector can not only play the role of the main factor in economic recovery, but also, to a certain extent, support the maintenance of the level of economic viability and stop the growing deterioration. In almost all spheres of the republic’s economy, a hundredfold increase in consumer prices compared to the increase in average wages led to a sharp decrease in the purchasing power of the population. It seems that manufacturers should look for opportunities to reduce product prices, update product lines and improve quality, finding real ways to increase profits. However, this is not actually happening yet. The apparent saturation and abundance of the market was achieved by reducing the range and physical volumes of products, as well as increasing prices. A decrease in demand encourages producers to compensate for the decrease in physical volume by increasing prices for goods. A reduction in production volume leads to an increase in semi-fixed costs per unit of production. The share of these costs in the total is on average more than 25%. The maximum weight in the formation of production costs is given to depreciation of non-performing fixed assets, the share of which has already exceeded 50% and continues to increase.
