The article considers the list of threats to national security (economic crisis, depletion of financial resources of the state and decrease of living standards of the population) on the basis of analysis of legislative acts, namely: the Law of Ukraine "On Fundamentals of National Security of Ukraine" of 2003, the Law of Ukraine "On National Security of Ukraine" 2018 and "National Security Strategy of Ukraine" 2015. The importance and significance of components such as "shadowing" of the economy, high level of poverty of the population, low competitiveness of domestic producers, high dependence on external financial resources, etc. are emphasized. The place of Ukraine and the dynamics of position change in the ratings according to individual indicators of the world rating, in particular, "happiness rating", "ease of doing business" are given. The dynamics of changes in the state and state-guaranteed debt is analyzed, certain indicators of Ukraine's debt security are calculated in 2015-2018. The importance of finding ways to finance the economy as an alternative to debt attraction has been substantiated. It is proposed to pay attention to the development of free economic zones as part of the formation of the economic basis of the national security of the state: creating conditions and legislative assistance for the development of technopolises and technological parks will enable to intensify activity on their own development and will reduce the problem of using the Ukrainian economy mainly as a raw material base; the creation of tourist and recreational zones has significant potential for increasing workplaces, enhancing the development of Ukraine's tourism potential and building the competitiveness of the domestic recreational complex; the creation of banking and insurance zones will make it possible to create a financial base for increasing government revenues without external borrowing and with a minimum cost of own resources.
