Baltic Journal of Economic Studies, 2019, vol. 5, issue 1 Abstract: The transitional period, in which most of European and the world countries today are, is in need of renewal and continuity of integration processes in vital areas to which the economic sphere itself belongs. Ensuring the introduction of universally accepted standards for the provision of public services in the economy into the practice of public administration actors is today a priority task of absolutely all countries that have declared in their Basic Law the principles of the rule of law and the rule by law, the recognition of a person, its life and health as the highest value. Significant obstacles to the gradual and systematic nature of such activities, determined by the aggravation of social tension in society, external aggression, the peculiarities of domestic doctrine and legislation, which are formed using well-defined concepts, at the same time, today contain ambiguous provisions on content, in particular, the notion of public services, their varieties, procedures for their provision, performance indicators. The abovementioned causes the necessity to search for the best ways to eliminate the above inconsistencies, which lead to real inhibition of activities as to ensure the quality provision of public services in the economic sphere. Only the cautious implementation of the principles and criteria for evaluating the provision of public services, as implemented in foreign countries (Great Britain, Germany, the USA, France, Hungary, the Baltic States etc.), should take into account the peculiarities of social relations that have developed in a specific state, in particular, in Ukraine one should take into account the complications associated with the current crisis in the political and international situation and, first of all, the urgent need for service orientation of public administration bodies in the economy and the financial sphere. At the same time, the presence of such features should not negatively affect the principle of gradualness and the continuity of the implementation of international standards in this area. Methodology. The solution of the set purpose is realized using the cognitive potential of the system of philosophical, general scientific and special methods. The comparative legal method is dominant, which allowed determining the development directions of domestic statutory enactments in order to bring them in line with the generally accepted standards for the provision of public services, the experience of highly developed economies. Methods of grammatical review and interpretation of legal norms have contributed to identifying gaps and other shortcomings in legislation that regulates the provision of public services in the economy, developing proposals for its improvement. Practical implications. The introduction of effective, timely, and consecutive steps to ensure the provision of quality public services in the economy, based on the unification of the standards of developed countries in the world, which will mean the implementation of an important step towards the global economic crisis recovery.
