Assessment of the level of economic security of construction companies

Abstract

In 2020, the President of Russian Federation outlined new national goals in the form of achieving “digital maturity” of key sectors of the economy and social sphere (Presidential Decree No. 474 of July 21, 2020 “On the national development goals of Russian Federation for the period up to 2030”) … At the meeting of working group of State Council in January 2020, the head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications named seven areas of development of digital economy in the interests of citizens, business and the state, including “Digital economy - to business: drastic reduction of costs” and “Digital economy - to business: reduction of administrative pressure”. To create the conditions for introduction of new digital technologies in construction activities within the framework of “Digital Economy” program, a subgroup “Digital technologies for managing the development of territories and urban planning policy” was created. The current period - the period of a pandemic (its consequences) and introduction of a number of restrictions for a number of sectors of the economy - is also becoming a new stage for the implementation of digitalization in construction activities. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of those external threats that are unpredictable. It is impossible to predict their appearance, peculiarities of the course. As noted in the economic literature, this greatly complicates the counteraction, since it is impossible to develop a coherent and effective strategy of this kind in advance. Moreover, it is impossible to predict the duration of consequences of this threat, as well as the list of risks and threats to the economic security of construction enterprises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
