The most typical indicators for such an assessment are the indicators of the gross regional product per capita in rubles per person, investment in fixed assets in% of the gross regional product, the level of total unemployment in% and the ratio of the average per capita income of the population to the subsistence minimum in times. Analysis of such indicators and the dynamics of their change for 2017–2018, comparison of their values with the threshold criteria in nine regions, fully or partially included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, showed that among them, of course, the most economically secure was the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. , whose economic sectors correspond to the conjuncture of world markets, the Republic of Karelia was a convincing and stable outsider. The main direction of regulating the level of economic security in response to the internal threat to the regions of the Russian Arctic should be balanced with economic development, parallel to the latter, an increase in the standard of living of the population. Purpose is to assess the level of economic security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and determine the directions and possibilities of its regulation.
