Abstract. The purpose of the article is to study the key factors and conditions affecting the state and spatial development of territories (based on the materials on social and economic situation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern macroregion). The research methodology is based on the theoretical provisions of regional economic science, dialectical and systemic approaches, economic and statistical, specifically comparative, comparative and content analysis, the use of methods of logical comparison and expert assessments. The features of spatial development, which are typical for the regional level and affect not only the state and prospects of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and federal districts, but also the entire national economy of Russia, are analyzed. The Far Eastern Federal District is a dynamically developing macroregion with a potential for economic development, which was chosen as the object of research. Based on specific material, the reasons for the differences in the social and economic situation of its constituent regions are revealed, their key macroeconomic indicators are analyzed. The starting point for the analysis is the assumption that the transformational changes in the national economic system of Russia caused by the consequences of the global pandemic crisis naturally affect the functioning of industries and territories in a spatial aspect. The expediency of application of a systematic approach to the analysis of all components of the economic subsystem of the Far Eastern Federal District is substantiated. The factors affecting the territorial and sectoral structure of the economy of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation within the Far Eastern Federal District were identified. This made it possible to present the drivers of economic growth and make suggestions in the optimization of the relationship of all economic entities within the administrative and territorial entities that have distinctive characteristics and essential features. Recommendations for the improvement of the economic and financial condition of the Far Eastern regions, achievement of a balance of subnational budgets were formulated. Productive vectors for further research can be quantitative and qualitative assessment of factors affecting the rates of economic growth, volume and structure of the GRP of these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, substantive analysis of possible areas of international cooperation in the Eurasian space.
Key words: features of spatial structuring, spatial structuring of the economy, methods and instruments of economic and financial regulation, balance of budgets, economic growth.
