Abstract: The purpose of this study is a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the purchasing power of the population for food in the Union State on the basis of publicly available sources of information, as well as the development of directions for its improvement. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that in recent years the purchasing power of the population of the Union State has been a key indicator of ensuring food security, economic well-being and social stability, reflecting the ability of the population to purchase goods and services to meet their needs. Changes in purchasing power can significantly affect the economic dynamics and standard of living, social and political stability in society. The paper attempts to assess the most significant factors influencing the purchasing power of the population for food products. The presented analysis of the current state of purchasing power in the Union State of Russia and Republic of Belarus makes it possible to assess the economic situation and the standard of living of the population in these countries, identify problems and outline ways to overcome them.
