"The main KPI of the ESBU is not the number of searches or criminal proceedings, but the number of companies returning to legal business," stated Oleksandr Tsyvinskyi

 For the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, the key criterion of effectiveness must not be the number of criminal proceedings but the real impact on the state economy—reducing the shadow sector, returning funds to legal circulation, and minimizing risks. This was stated by ESBU Director Oleksandr Tsyvinskyi during a meeting of the Committee on Finance, Taxation, and Customs Policy.

'We are changing the approach to assessing the results of the ESBU's work. For us, it is important not only how many proceedings are opened or transferred to court. The main thing is the impact our work has on the state economy, how many funds have been successfully returned to legal circulation, and what risks to the economy have been prevented,' noted Oleksandr Tsyvinskyi.

One of the key elements of the new operational model is the development of the analytical branch. It is analytics that determines the Bureau's work priorities and the complex of measures to minimize systemic risks across various sectors of the economy.

Throughout the year, ESBU specialists prepared 1,529 analytical products. Based on the results of this work, significant risks to the economy were identified, and recommendations were developed to minimize them.

The new operational model involves shifting the focus from responding to individual offenses toward the systemic analysis of risks and their prevention. This approach allows for a more effective determination of priority work areas and strengthens the protection of the state's economic interests.

The ESBU pays special attention to developing digital solutions for risk prevention. In particular, this refers to the implementation of tools based on risk patterns in the field of defense procurement, which helps prevent the loss of budget funds.

The ESBU emphasizes that developing the analytical component and preventative tools remains one of the key elements in building a modern economic security system.
