The article investigates the priorities of budget investment and trends in the distribution of capital expenditures among the budgetary system levels in Ukraine during 2010-2019 period. It has been established that capital expenditures of budgets in Ukraine cannot be equated with capital investments from the budget, since they contain articles that are inconsistent with the classical understanding of investments. But the analysis of their dynamics and structure makes it possible to identify the priorities of budget investment and the distribution of budget investment among the budget system levels. It has been established that since 2015 in Ukraine there has been an increase in the share of capital expenditures of the consolidated budget in the total expenditures of the consolidated budget at the expense of local budgets, which are a consequence of an increase in the local budgets resource base in relation to the decentralization reform. A positive trend of growth in the percentage of capital expenditures fulfillment of both state and local budgets was revealed. Also, since 2015, a change in the ratio of capital expenditures among the levels of the budget system in the direction of the prevalence of local budgets and a change in the structure of capital expenditures of the state and local budgets has been revealed: in the state budget, capital transfers to enterprises that are a form of support for certain sectors of the economy are decreasing, but in local budgets they are growing. Thus, the economic function of the state to support individual sectors of the economy is delegated to local budgets. It also revealed a change in priorities in the structure of financing public investment projects from the state budget of Ukraine during 2019-2020 from social development projects to transport infrastructure development projects (70% of funding). It has been established that capital investments from budgets of all levels are not aimed at multiplying budget investments; therefore, an increase in budget capital expenditures does not guarantee the acceleration of the state economic development. The improvement of the investment activities state management system should be realized in the direction of formation and budgetary financing the investment projects that will contribute to the introduction of new technologies, the creation of new jobs and the investment attractiveness of the country.

The article investigates the structure and dynamics of capital expenditures and capital investments at the expense of local budgets during 2010-2019. It has been established that since 2015 in Ukraine there has been an increase in capital expenditures of local budgets, both in the total amount of expenditures of local budgets, and in GDP as well. This is due to the growth of the local budgets resource base in connection with the decentralization reform. Also, a positive trend of growth in the percentage of capital expenditures of local budgets is revealed. This fact reflects the budgetary investment intensification at the local level. It was found that the growth of capital expenditures from local budgets occurs in the direction of the growth of capital transfers to enterprises (up to 40% in the total amount of capital expenditures). This may be due to the replenishment of the registered capital of utilities, a significant part of which is formed because of a medical reform. Major maintenance, reconstruction and restoration traditionally remain at a high level in the structure of local budgets capital expenditures. The significance for local budgets and procedures for obtaining various types of financial support for regional development from the state budget is also studied. It has been established that the investment potential of local budgets is formed by their own revenues to the development budget, as well as by funding from the state budget in the form of subventions to local budgets for the formation of the united territorial communities infrastructure (0.3-0.4% in the revenues of local budgets); subventions for the implementation of measures for the certain territories socio-economic development (0.2-1.2%) and financing of investment projects at the expense of the State Fund for Regional Development (0.7-1.03%). It was found that the growth of capital investments from local budgets to a small extent depends on financial support from the state budget. It was also clarified that the use of funds for the regional development financial support at the expense of the state budget does not quite correspond to the goals defined by legal acts. The problems of the efficiency of financing investment projects at the expense of the SFRD funds and subventions of socio-economic development have been identified. Recommendations are given for eliminating the identified problems of the effectiveness of financing investment projects for regional development.

The importance of road management for the economy and the state as a whole is determined. Developed transport infrastructure and highways are the key to a developed society and the efficient functioning of the economy of any state. According to the latest estimates of the Ministry of Infrastructure, the technical and operational condition of roads meets modern requirements for strength and equality by only 39.2% and 51.1%, respectively, due to the crisis in budget funding, insufficient maintenance of infrastructure, backwardness of technologies in the field of construction, which in turn causes economic and environmental losses in other sectors of the national economy. The main problems that damage the development of the road industry include: non-compliance of road coverage with European standards and traffic intensity, road wear, reduced road safety, poor quality of road repairs, poor control and others. The article examines the state, trends and prospects of road development in Ukraine. The main participants and the hierarchy of road users and the functions they perform are described. The structure of state and local roads of Ukraine is analyzed. In accordance with the Law of Ukraine № 1762 "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine" On Sources of Financing of the Road Industry of Ukraine "to improve the financing mechanism of the road sector" and № 1763 "On Amendments to the Budget Code of Ukraine to improve the mechanism of financing the road sector" funds to finance the construction, reconstruction and repair of roads of national importance in 2020, 2021.

The social and economic transformations taking place in Ukraine are accompanied by the expansion of functions of the state authorities and local self-government. This predetermines the search for sources of formation of budgetary resources on the background of permanent growth of the volume and directions of their spending and practical application of debt instruments. The purpose of the study lies in evaluating of the practice of carrying out public borrowings and in developing proposals concerning its improvement in the context of minimizing threats to government debt security. The economic essence, assignment of debt instruments have been considered, the dynamics of realization and structure of internal and external borrowings has been analyzed. The problems of applying the loan method of budget resources formation in Ukraine have been revealed. A set of measures for improvement of the use of government borrowings as a tool of the budgetary mechanism in the context of minimizing threats to the state's debt security has been developed. The results of evaluating the practice of using debt instruments give reason to argue that the irrational approach to their use, the manifestations of which are the unbalanced structure of debt payments over time, high cost of attracting resources and focus on solution of the short-term goals of budget policy, led to increased debt financial burden, the level of threats to the debt security of Ukraine and is the reason for the reduction of potential growth rates of the national economy and increasing of its vulnerability to external shocks.. In order to minimize fiscal risks the feasibility of applying measures for improvement of the use of debt instruments has been substantiated by: adherence to the limit of the state budget deficit defined by the Budget Code of Ukraine, of state and local budgets, providing of state and local guaratees, diversification of the structure of the debt portfolio of borrowings taking into account currencies, maturities and interest rates; limiting the provision of state guarantees and the implementation of state financial support to economic entities at the expense of government borrowing in the conditions of excess of the share of public debt and the state guaranteed debt in the GDP of Ukraine of the 60% limit; the use of borrowed budgetary resources to finance investment projects.

In modern conditions, the role of transparency of both public and local finances is growing significantly, which is a tool to increase the efficiency of financial resources, which confirms the analysis of Ukrainian and foreign studies. In Ukraine, the level of transparency is improving every year and as of 2019 is assessed by international organizations as the minimum allowable. At the same time, the level of transparency of local budgets differs significantly in different regions. To improve the situation and implement best practices in the field of transparency of public finances at both the state and local levels, it is important to analyze the foreign experience of those countries that are leaders in ratings of transparency of public authorities and transparency of the budget process. The paper analyzes the experience of the Office of the Public Accountant of Texas (USA), the Treasury of New Zealand, and the Treasury of the Republic of South Africa, which according to the open budget rating provided by the International Budget Partnership are among the 10 most transparent countries. Analysis of the content of the information portal of the Texas Public Accounts Controller Office showed a separate section “Transparency” with a detailed presentation of information in terms of key blocks of revenues and expenditures, state budget and finances, information on the formation and use of funds in all localities, information on budget deficit as well as information on transparency at the level of individual settlements, school districts, etc. A comparative analysis with the state of transparency of Ukrainian government agencies responsible for the development and implementation of fiscal policy and identifies weaknesses and strengths in terms of their transparency. It is established that the openness of the process of using public finances in Ukraine is gradually increasing, while the positions in the world transparency rating are also improving. However, the conceptual difference between building sites in the countries analyzed is that they report to taxpayers in a form that is accessible to them, rather than simply covering available information without comment or explanation. Keywords: open budget, participation, public finances, rating, fiscal policy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the components of the budget system of Ukraine as factors of financial and economic security to identify negative trends in the context of the implementation of decentralization reform. It is proved that the research of this direction should start with the analysis of the conceptual apparatus and structural relationships between categories. At the top level of the hierarchy there is the category of national security of Ukraine, which, according to current legislation, means the protection of state sovereignty, constitutional order and other national interests of the country from real and potential threats. The category of financial and economic security is also often used in the scientific literature. Given the above classification, in this case we are talking about the financial security of the country as a factor of economic security. Methodology. To stimulate economic development, the practice of modern budget regulation provides for the presence of a planned deficit, which is a source of local and public debt. Depending on the areas of its financing, there are domestic and foreign, local and national debts. The relationship between the above indicators determines the level of budget security of the country, which is one of the most important factors of financial stability was identified in the work. Results. It is proved that, according to the results of the analysis, practical recommendations on budget policy of Ukraine as a factor of financial and economic security should take into account the following steps: against the background of growing social burden on the budget, it is necessary to continue the redistribution of budget funds in favour of the regions, which will increase their level of financial autonomy and reduce the amount of transfer payments; pursue a strict restriction policy to prevent the growth of the state budget deficit and uncontrolled increase in debt; the problem of pension provision increases the burden on the state budget every year. It is necessary to take measures to create a cumulative system of state and non-state pension insurance. Practical implications. The practical consequences prove that in 2016 the public debt of the consolidated budget of Ukraine reached a record 81% of GDP. However, effective economic and budgetary policy allowed to reduce it in 2019 to 50.3%, which was positive. Moreover, the share of external debt was 29.2%. The high budget deficit in 2020 will lead to an increase in debt to 58.7% of GDP, which offsets the previous positive changes. It is determined that at the beginning and at the end of the study period the expenditures of the pension system of Ukraine have been equal to about 10% of GDP. At the same time, financing from own revenues has decreased from 8% to 6%, which is negative. The most critical situation became after 2013, when this indicator began to decline rapidly, increasing the burden on the state budget. Value/originality of the work is an analysis of the components of the budget system of Ukraine as factors of financial and economic security, which in contrast to the existing ones is based on the need for further implementation of decentralization reform and allows to develop practical recommendations for budget regulation.

The research analyzes capital investments of state-owned stevedoring companies using statistical methods of relative and average values and indices. It has been established that the current trends in the port industry of Ukraine indicate insufficient capital investments, inconsistency of actual indicators with planned ones, and the lack of external financing. Against the general tendency of profitability deterioration of state-owned stevedoring companies and the decrease of their marketshare of port services vs the increase of privately-owned stevedoring companies, the importance of competitiveness strengthening is increasing namely through the availability of sufficient fixed assets in the form of portal cranes and a port fleet. The tendencies of the indicator "capital investments" for the state stevedoring companies of Ukraine has been determined. The analysis has demonstrated the existence of a stable trend of a capital investments decrease of almost all companies, which is very typical for most of the analyzed companies and is associated with the lack of: investment activity, executing capital investments and expanding production capacities. In addition to the above, all capital investments are financed with own assets, without using alternative methods of financing, such as funds from the state and local budgets, national and foreign bank loans. The most actively implemented type of the capital investments is modernization, modification (restructuring, additional equipment, reconstruction) of existing fixed assets. The least popular types are capital construction and major repairs. It is proposed to determine the relationship between the tendencies of capital investments in fixed assets and the increase in investment activity by the application of the ratio of the average annual growth rates of capital investments in fixed assets divided by the indicator of their efficiency (profitability of fixed assets), calculated as the ratio of net profit to the average annual cost of fixed assets. It is recommended to use factor analysis using classical methods of deterministic analysis, as well as simulation modelling, for more detailed analysis of capital investments in fixed assets.

Introduction. Given the limited own resources of local self-government, it is important to ensure the effective functioning of the mechanism for providing investment subventions from the state budget. Such investment subventions include subventions for the formation of infrastructure in the united territorial communities and subventions for the implementation of measures of socio-economic development of separate territories. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the mechanism of providing and using investment subventions to local budgets in order to identify disadvantages and eliminate them. Results. Providing an “infrastructure” subvention to local budgets has strengthened the capacity of united territorial communities and to some extent improved the quality of services provided to the population. During 2016–2019, UAH 6.5 billion was allocated from the State Budget of Ukraine to local budgets for infrastructure development and 9475 projects were implemented. With the help of these subventions, schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics, cultural and sports institutions, water mains and roads were built and repaired, and specialized transport was purchased. However, in recent years, the role of this subvention has decreased significantly due to the fact that the number of UTCs that received an infrastructure subvention during 2016–2021 has increased significantly, and its volume has hardly changed. The amount of subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of measures for socio-economic development of certain territories has also decreased, which negatively affects the capacity of local governments in the field of investment projects. Conclusion. The volume of investment subventions remains insufficient, and their distribution is partly in a “manual mode”, which creates a favorable environment for political corruption and lobbying.
