**Criteria for determining enterprises critical to the economy, at which Employee Reservations take place **
In a period of uncertainty and crisis, the identification of enterprises that are critically important for the functioning of the economy and the livelihood of the population becomes extremely necessary. These enterprises play an important role in ensuring stability and resilience during special periods. Here is a comprehensive overview of the criteria used to identify critical enterprises:
**1. Financial indicators:**
- Enterprises that have a significant contribution to the state and local budgets due to taxes, fees, deductions for social insurance are considered critical. A threshold value exceeding 1.5 million euros of paid taxes and fees during the reporting tax year, confirmed by official documents, qualifies the enterprise as critical.
**2. Operations in foreign currency:**
- Enterprises that carry out significant operations in foreign currency, with the exception of credits and loans, are defined as critical. An enterprise is critical if, during the reporting tax year, receipts in foreign currency exceed 32 million euros, confirmed by relevant bank documentation.
**3. Strategic importance:**
- Enterprises that are strategically important for the economy and national security, listed in the government's list of strategic state-owned objects, are considered critical. This definition is based on the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 83, which defines key subjects vital for the well-being of the nation.
**4. Industry significance:**
- Enterprises that make a significant contribution to certain branches of the national economy or provide essential needs of territorial communities are included in the critical category. The criteria of sectoral importance are established by the relevant state bodies on the basis of regional and sectoral needs, providing an individual approach to the identification of critical enterprises.
**5. Financial eligibility:**
- Businesses must demonstrate financial responsibility by keeping clean records of payments, in particular with regard to contributions to mandatory state social insurance. A mandatory condition for classification in the critical category is the absence of arrears from the payment of social insurance, which is confirmed by official documents or extracts from tax authorities.
**6. Social security of employees:**
- Enterprises that strive to ensure fair wages and the well-being of workers are considered the most important. A minimum average wage for insured workers that meets regional standards ensures that critical businesses meet labor standards and make a positive contribution to society.
**7. Residency and specialization:**
- Enterprises located in Diya City and those engaged in specialized fields, for example, international humanitarian projects or defense production, are recognized as critical. These enterprises play a unique role in international cooperation, defense production and humanitarian aid, contributing to the resilience and stability of the country.
**Conclusion:**
The definition of critical enterprises for the economy is based on a multifaceted approach, taking into account financial performance, strategic importance, industry contributions, compliance standards, employee welfare and specialization. By identifying and prioritizing these businesses, governments can ensure the continued operation of essential services and industries, protecting the economy and the public's well-being during special periods of uncertainty and crisis.
