Resume

The interests of the central government and local communities often do not coincide in regional policy. The study of balanced socio-economic development allows us to create more adaptive and effective methods of stimulating growth that take into account the unique characteristics of each region. Each region of the country has its own unique resources, economic potential, and social characteristics. The study of balanced development helps to ensure the harmonious development of all regions, reducing disparities between them, which contributes to the overall economic sustainability of the state. At the same time, balanced development implies equal access to basic services (education, healthcare, social protection) for residents of different regions. In turn, the underdevelopment of certain regions can lead to social tensions, migration, and a decline in the quality of life. The article reveals that balanced development has systemic, structural, and dynamic aspects, the latter being determined by: resource provision, rationality and efficiency of use of resources and potential, protection from challenges and threats, and the existence of prerequisites for further growth. The author defines the principles of public regional policy: determining the imperatives of regional management in the system of national development policy; substantiation of ways, goals, and objectives of balanced regional development; coordination and harmonization of interests of social groups with prioritization of higher-order interests and prevention of spatial and structural disproportions; selection of options for the most optimal changes, prevention of making irrational management decisions from the point of view of social development; etc. According to the defined features, it is necessary to form the benchmarks on which the regional policy in the field of balanced regional development should be oriented. Thus, in terms of functional and resource components, it is advisable to determine the improvement of the main characteristics of economic, in particular investment and innovation-oriented, and socio-demographic development as a benchmark for regional development. In terms of the phases of social reproduction, their qualitative course and the fulfillment of inherent functions and tasks should be monitored. In terms of aspects of the regional economic system sustainability, building up and efficient use of economic and resource potential, ensuring economic security, and strengthening the competitiveness of regional economies should be ensured.
