State support of industry is a purposeful impact of state authorities and local self-government on industrial facilities for their development, taking into account the set goals through the purposeful impact of legal, economic and organizational measures. Identification of measures of state support for priority areas of industrial development, which are aimed at implementing positive structural transformations in industry, at ensuring the solution of key tasks of social and economic development, is the most important task of the formation and implementation of industrial policy. Practice shows that the process of identifying measures of state support for priority sectors of industrial development is complex and requires overcoming institutional barriers. For the progressive development of industry, increasing competitiveness, increasing labor productivity and production efficiency, appropriate conditions and factors that form the basis for the formation and implementation of industrial policy are necessary. Due to the circumstances, the Donetsk People’s Republic is developing taking into account a very limited amount of resources.
