Abstract
The relevance of the research is due to the need to rethink approaches to defining the boundaries of openness of statistical information in the context of modern geopolitical challenges. The scientific novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive analysis of the problem of the openness of statistical data through the prism of national interests and information security. The main results of the study demonstrate that the absolute openness or closeness of statistical data are extremes that do not meet the interests of the state. Unjustified expansion or narrowing of access to statistical data can lead to destabilization of the socio-political situation and increased external threats. The findings of the study confirm that the regulation of the openness of statistical data should be based on the principles of a balance between information openness and national security.
