In order to use the laws of the market rather than be a victim of it, to improve its own financial and economic activities in a market system, taking advantage of its advantages, it is necessary to improve traditional forms and develop new methods and techniques for managing economic risks and their consequences. One of these forms is modern risk management. Within its limits, economic risk is considered not only in the narrow-categorical meaning of this phenomenon, but also as a category that combines the economic risks, formed by all, without excluding the components of the process of economic reproduction.

Economic risk also means a situation that can provide additional opportunities for enterprises in the process of their financial and economic activity. But the use of positive opportunities for the existence of economic risks can only be provided if the company has an effectively organized and constantly operating risk management mechanism.

Lists of traditional and contemporary economic risks are recognized as reputable experts at the supranational level. The steps to form a modern economic risk management strategy are identified.

These circumstances complicate the functioning of domestic business and make virtually any positive action related to the target concentration of resources for the creation of competing productions. In the process of economic activity, economic risk is perceived as a combination of certain adverse and positive effects that may occur after the implementation of the chosen decisions. In this regard, it becomes apparent that in order to obtain the expected results, the economic risk should be managed.
