FINANCIAL INVERSION IN FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AS AN APPROACH TO HIDDEN RISK ASSESSMENT

Анотація

The article examines financial inversion in foreign economic activity (FEA) as a multifactorial process influencing the financial stability of enterprises in the context of the global economy. The specific features of this phenomenon are emphasised, as they significantly affect risk management in transnational operations. The study identifies currency volatility, geopolitical changes, and regulatory barriers as pivotal factors that intensify the challenges faced by enterprises, compelling them to explore novel financial planning approaches. It is shown that traditional risk management tools are insufficiently effective under conditions of high economic uncertainty, creating a demand for the implementation of adaptive models for managing financial flows. The article systematises conceptual approaches to the identification and assessment of hidden risks associated with financial inversion. Particular attention is paid to causal analysis methods that provide deeper insights into the nature of this phenomenon. The practical importance of tools such as economic and mathematical modelling and forecasting is considered, demonstrating their utility in determining the long-term consequences of financial inversions for enterprises engaged in FEA. The application of scenario analysis is highlighted as a crucial component for evaluating alternative risk management strategies. The study also focuses on the development of adaptive strategies to mitigate the impact of financial inversions on the outcomes of foreign economic activity. The research emphasises that such strategies should be grounded in the integration of contemporary technologies for big data analysis, the automation of risk management processes, and the utilisation of digital platforms for financial flow monitoring. These approaches have the dual benefits of risk minimisation and enhanced financial transparency in an international context. The findings of the study highlight the necessity to enhance financial inversion management tools with a view to mitigating their deleterious effect on the economic performance of enterprises. The proposed recommendations are designed to enhance business adaptability to changes in the external environment, increase competitiveness, and ensure sustainable development.
