Background. The effectiveness of the functioning of the regional economy largely depends on the use of the resource potential, which is the main factor affecting the design of the regional economy, determining the level and prospects for its development. In direct dependence on the effectiveness of this or that model, the standard of living of the population of the region is also found. Given the importance of the problem, this article is devoted to the disclosure of the influence of the resource potential of North Ossetia – Alania on the design of the regional economic model. Proceeding from this, the purpose of our article is to substantiate the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation and function-ing of the regional economic model of RNO – Alania.
Materials and methods. As an information base, when writing an article we used: educational literature, monographs, articles, dissertational research on the above topics. Studies of various aspects of the problem were carried out using abstraction, modeling, statistical, monographic and other methods.
Results. In the article, based on the study of statistical data, the resource potential of North Ossetia-Alania is estimated. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the regional eco-nomic model of RNO – Alania does not fully take into account the availability of the republic's resource potential, primarily the agrarian potential. In addition, resources of building materials, minerals, in particular, polymetallic ores: zinc, lead, copper, silver, cadmium and bismuth are not fully utilized.
Conclusions. The regional economic model of RNO – Alania can be attributed to the group of agrarian and raw materials models oriented to the use of their own resource potential. It is necessary to form clusters of modern technological productions and ensure connection of efforts and effective introduction of the potential of in-dustry, science, and small and medium-sized businesses in the mutually advantageous base. Their basis could be formed by enterprises for the processing of mineral resources, agricultural enterprises for the production and processing of products, resort and sanatorium institutions, etc. The formation of such clusters can occur both at the expense of private-state partnership, with the involvement of targeted investments, and through the establishment of interregional integration ties. A regional economic model aimed at maximizing the production of the added product, will ensure budget self-sufficiency, and move to a deficit-free budget.
