It is proposed to provide the interaction of socio-economic development indicators of the country and established control measures in the policy intended to improve the economic security of the country. It is proposed to use the institutional approach to solve the problem. 2. Methods. The main methodological basis of the paper is an institutional nature of economic relations that is expressed through an interrelated sequence of the following stages: institutions - motivation - control. In the paper, such research methods were used as the institutional approach, analysis and synthesis of historical data, the laws of dialectics, and a method of cause-effect relationships. 3. Results. This paper represents the author's recommendations for the transfer of external (negative) manifestations of control to internal (constructive) forces of cooperation. Control is disclosed as an institution necessary to provide economic security and as a condition for the effective implementation of the socio-economic strategy. The current economic security of the country is assessed on the basis of study of current macroeconomic indicators for the Russian Federation. Threats and causes of low economic security are formulated. The measures to address them are proposed. 4. Discussion.

A study of the properties and the nature of the institutions as recognized, purposeful and repetitive activity of economic agents aimed at the implementation and monitoring of the strategy to improve economic security is carried out. 5.
