Abstract. The focus of this study is the management system governing the economic security of a country and the repercussions of the shadow economy's influence on it. The research is exemplified by Ukraine, a nation with a notably high prevalence of clandestine activities in its business processes.

At present, shadow incomes and agreements pose significant challenges to the income distribution and redistribution management system. The global nature of the economy and the deregulation of international mergers and acquisitions extend the impact of shadow capital beyond individual countries, bestowing it with global significance for the economic security of various nations. The study delves into the influence of the shadow economy on every stage of merger and acquisition agreements in Ukraine. It scrutinizes the adverse effects of shadow practices on attracting foreign and domestic investments, thereby diminishing the efficacy of the country's economic security management system. The article provides a comparative analysis of the country's economic development indices and the level of the shadow economy.

Throughout the research, various methods such as analysis and synthesis, logical design, and tabular and graphical data presentation are employed. Correlation-regression analysis is applied to explore the relationship between shadow economy indicators and the state's economic security level.

Using statistical indicators, a comparison is made between the shadow economy's development and specific economic security metrics in Ukraine. Correlation-regression analysis is utilized to scrutinize the connection between illicit economy indicators and the state's economic security level amid geopolitical transformations. The results of the calculations reveal a direct relationship for most indices of economic security and the level of the shadow economy. These identified dependencies can serve as a foundation for shaping key vectors of state policy to counteract the expansion of the shadow economy and devising tools to impact the most vulnerable indicators in Ukraine's economic development.

The findings presented in this article can prove beneficial for researchers exploring economic security management systems and governmental institutions aiming to formulate an economic security program. The methodology can be applied to establish investment priorities grounded in the analysis of the illegal economy's impact on societal economic security.



Keywords: shadow economy, economic security, state structures, mergers and acquisitions, management system, economic reform, economic partnership.
