Economic security is a critical component of the national security of any country, as it directly affects the stability and development of the state. Despite surviving difficult economic trials, Ukraine faces challenges such as corruption, an unstable political environment, and external threats. To ensure sustainable economic growth, it is essential to strengthen the legal framework, improve the legal culture and ensure the transparency of the financial environment. Given this, the article aims to study the economic and theoretical-legal foundations and features of ensuring the economic security of Ukraine. It is noted that the essential legal documents regulating the economic security of Ukraine are the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law "On National Security of Ukraine", and the Strategy for Economic Security of Ukraine until 2025. These documents define the principles of state policy in ensuring economic security and establish mechanisms for protecting the economic interests of the state and citizens. It was established that the main structural components of economic security in the national security system of Ukraine are production, demographic, energy, foreign economic, investment and innovation, macroeconomic, food, social, and financial security. The definition of the essence of economic security, its components, subjects of support, indicators and threats should be contained in the Law of Ukraine “On National Security of Ukraine”, as well as other laws of Ukraine that concern the provision of economic security of the state. It is also concluded that the sustainability and stability of the economic system, economic independence, self-reproduction, and national interests are critical aspects of ensuring economic security.
