摘要:The article determines that industry is the foundation for any economy, for which reason support of the industrial development receives special attention from the governments of virtually every country of the world, including Ukraine. The article aims to analyze the existing legal and regulatory framework for the state support of the industrial development in Ukraine and methods of its improvement. The article analyzes the state industrial policy concepts adopted in the country: their objectives, main principles, structure, funding sources, primary tasks and priorities, etc., as well as specific implementation aspects and obtained results. The author considered the concepts of the nation-level target economic programs of the industrial development of Ukraine: their characteristic features, proposed directions for support of the industrial development of the country, priorities, etc., as well as expected and actual implementation outcomes. The sector-specific concepts of State target science and technology programs were analyzed, as well as strategies of the economic and social development of Ukraine and industry sectors; their objectives and characteristics were considered. The article also discusses the adopted Laws of Ukraine dealing with the development of leading industry sectors and the tasks and priorities declared by them. The study allowed investigating and generalizing state comprehensive target programs and other programs aimed at the development of the country’s industry, as well as Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine adopted in Ukraine over the past 15 years, their primary goals and priorities, as well as funding sources. The conducted analysis allowed proving that the fact of the governmental bodies and agencies taking no practical steps for the accomplishment of the tasks declared in concepts, strategies, and policy documents, as well as failure to achieve the planned level of industrial development give one the grounds to argue that realization of the industrial policy in Ukraine must be reconsidered and requires adoption of a strategic plan for further development of the Ukrainian industry in the medium and long term.
