Abstract

The current development of the global economy is accompanied by a significant increase in the interdependence of states, which is reflected in the growth of international trade and the dynamics of global investment flows. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of foreign economic activity, encompassing international trade, investment cooperation, scientific and technical interaction, and monetary and financial relations, and to identify the main factors and issues influencing its development in the context of national economic growth. Methods – the dialectical method, abstract logical approach, comparative analysis, and systems approach are used to assess the relationships between types of foreign economic activity and their cumulative impact on the economy. Indicators characterizing the development of international trade, attracting foreign investment, and the level of scientific and technical interaction are presented. Results – the impact of foreign economic activity on national development is calculated, including strengthening productive potential, improving the trade balance, and stimulating technological innovation. The article substantiates how effective management of foreign economic processes and compliance with international financial standards contribute to increased economic stability. The authors acknowledge the importance of foreign economic activity in ensuring sustainable development and economic competitiveness.
