Abstract
The main purpose of the article is to identify the key aspects of strategic planning for the development of trade in the framework of ensuring a high level of security. The object of research is strategic planning of trade development. The scientific task is to present one's own vision of trade development planning through a modern methodological approach by modelling the main stages and processes. The methodology is based on the use of parametric modelling, which brings novelty to the definition of strategic guidelines for planning the economic development of trade. The study offers a modern approach to planning trade development through the presentation of an appropriate methodological approach using modelling tools. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is presented in the form of a methodical approach to the strategic planning of trade development in the system of ensuring a high level of economic security. The practical value of the results obtained is due to the fact that the model can be used in practical activities to ensure the development of socioeconomic systems. Prospects for further research should be devoted to the formation of an operational mechanism for the development of trade in the system of ensuring a high level of economic security.
