   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Актуальность темы обусловлена тем, что глобальные дисбалансы в современных условиях перестали быть только технической проблемой платежного баланса и стали рассматриваться как один из факторов макроэкономической и финансовой нестабильности. Их устойчивое воспроизводство связано с различиями в национальных сбережениях и инвестициях, бюджетной и денежно-кредитной политике, валютно-резервных стратегиях, демографических процессах, нефтяном факторе, долговой динамике и неодинаковым положением стран в мировой финансовой системе. Значимость данной проблематики подтверждается ее включением в повестку международной экономической координации. В частности, в материалах французского председательства в G7 2026 г. сокращение макроэкономических дисбалансов и укрепление экономической безопасности обозначены в качестве одного из приоритетов финансово-экономической повестки. Логика исследования заключается в том, что сначала анализируются основные теоретические подходы к объяснению глобальных дисбалансов, затем раскрываются причины их возникновения, после чего рассматривается возможность перехода от описания дефицитов и профицитов счета текущих операций к более широкой оценке макроэкономических проблем, связанных с ними. Такая оценка предполагает учет не только дефицита и профицита счета текущих операций, но и ожидаемого экономического роста, международной инвестиционной позиции, структуры внешних активов и обязательств, соотношения международных резервов и краткосрочного внешнего долга, бюджетной позиции и реального эффективного обменного курса. На основе рассмотренных подходов и используемых методов сделан вывод о необходимости комплексной оценки глобальных дисбалансов, позволяющей отличать экономически оправданные формы внешнего неравновесия от дисбалансов, способных создавать долговые, валютные, фискальные и финансовые риски для национальной экономики. В работе предложены концептуальные основы методики оценки потенциальной опасности глобальных дисбалансов, основанные на последовательном переходе от выявления внешнего неравновесия к анализу его макроэкономической обоснованности во времени, накопленной внешней позиции и структуры внешних активов и обязательств, оценке устойчивости экономики к внешним шокам. Модель позволяет разграничить экономически оправданные дисбалансы, а также неравновесные состояния экономической системы, способные трансформироваться в источник макроэкономической и финансовой уязвимости.</p>

   <trans-abstract xml:lang="en">
    <p>Nowadays, the global imbalances are both problem of payments balance and the factors of macroeconomic and financial instability. It provides a relevance of the research. Those sustainable reproduction is due to the differences in national savings and investments, fiscal and monetary policies, monetary reserve strategies, demographic processes, the oil factor, debt dynamics, and the unequal position of countries in the global financial system. Moreover, the international economic coordination includes them in its agenda. According to the French presidency of the G7 in 2026, the reduction of macroeconomic imbalances and the strengthening of economic security are the priorities of the financial and economic field. The research analyses the main theoretical approaches to explaining global imbalances, reveals their occurrence, describes current account deficits, and surpluses to a broader assessment of the macroeconomic problems. The assessment involves the current account deficit and surplus, the expected economic growth, the international investment position, the structure of external assets and liabilities, the ratio of international reserves and short-term external debt, the fiscal position, and the real effective exchange rate. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive assessment of global imbalances to distinguish economically justified forms of external disequilibrium from imbalances providing debt, currency, fiscal and financial risks for the national economy. The paper proposes a conceptual framework for assessing the potential danger of global imbalances. They based on a consistent transition from identifying external imbalances to analysing its macroeconomic validity, the accumulated external position and structure of external assets and liabilities, and assessing the resilience of the economy to external shocks. The model distinguishes economically justified imbalances and disequilibrium states of the economic system could be able to be transformed into a source of macroeconomic and financial vulnerability.</p>
