The financial security of the state becomes especially important given the crisis manifestations in the global financial system, loosening of the state control over the monetary system and the increasing political pressures on economic processes. The article’s objective is to review the theoretical foundations of the financial security and analyze the impact of the budgetary policy on the budgetary security as the core the financial security of the state. A statistical analysis of the budgetary policy impact on the budgetary security is made for the period of 2015–2019 on the basis of Methodological Recommendations on Computation of the Economic Security Level in Ukraine, with assessing four indicators: (i) the ratio of the public budget deficit/surplus to GDP; (ii) the share of deficit of budget and off-budget funds of the general government in GDP; (iii) the share of GDP redistributed via the consolidated budget; (iv) the ratio of cumulated payment for debt service and repayment to the public budget revenue. The assessment scale ranges from 0 to 1 (or from 0 to 100%) and consists of five intervals: absolutely critical level of danger; critical level of danger; dangerous level; unsatisfactory security level; satisfactory security level; optimal security level. Results of the analysis give grounds to suggest that the policy concerned with public borrowing, debt service and repayment is must be urgently revised, because the respective indicator (which is the ratio of cumulated payment for debt service and repayment to the public budget revenue) was signaling extremely high levels threats to the budgetary security in 2015–2019 and, eventually, to the financial security of the country.

Budgeting is creating a plan to spend your money.  Good budgeting is spending less than you are earning as you plan for your financial goals.  Budgeting is the fundamental step in achieving financial literacy, and by extension, reaching financial security and freedom.  Budgeting is the process of creating a plan to spend and invest your hard earned money wisely to meet your personal and financial goals in life.  It should not be a mathematical exercise that we think we have to endure; rather, it is the result of self- assessment of our relationship with money and a necessary road map to steer us toward a higher standard and quality of living. The budget determines the general policy of the State and reflects its economic and development orientations and the partnership of all citizens with regard to their tax obligations or service rights. This is a strategic plan as a result of the expenditure study for years, taking into account the needs and potential of the ministries and the capacity to mobilize resources to cover the public expenditure of the State.

Abstract. The problem of elaborating the comprehensive state policy on regulatory and legal provision of the financial security at all levels of economy is significantly important for Ukraine. It is crucial to ensure development and implementation of the legislative framework that would determine the types of internal and external threats to the stability of financial activity and the means of counteracting these threats; the full power and responsibility of state authorities concerning the financial and legal regulation aimed at warranting order in financial sphere; the mechanism of financial control organization as the means of preventing financial offences. The aim of the research is to outline the essence of new threats to the economic and financial security of the state under modern economic conditions and search for the required mechanisms and means of regulatory and legal provisioning of the financial security of Ukraine. In the course of research, the general scientific and theoretical methods have been applied. These include systemic analysis (for defining the object and the subject of research); abstract and logical method (for preparing the scientifically justified generalizations and conclusions about the essence, the mechanism of provisioning financial security of the state, and the factors that designate it); graphic method (for representing visually the mechanism of ensuring financial security of the state). The article introduces improvements to the list of modern internal and external threats to the financial and economic security of the state with respect to the immanent nature of the World Band and the International Monetary Fund. It has been emphasized that the new list of indicators and sources of initial information about the constituent components of financial security should be developed and approved because the current list was outlined in the end of 2013 and does not take into account modern realia. It is necessary to determine the functions of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine in the realm of monitoring and regulating financial stability of the state, particularly in the real economy sector. It has been specified that scientific development of the range of problems related to the methodology and legal regulation of the state security provisioning, as well as the means and methods of preventing and mitigating the threats, is tightly connected with the development of macroprudential supervision and regulation under the aegis of the National Bank of Ukraine. The introduction of new indicators by the Bank (such as the level of non-performing loans, the financial stress index, and others) is the positive step. Nonetheless, the large quantity of private indicators interferes the process of elaborating the set of measures for financial and legal regulation of the financial security level. The new methodological approach to development of the integrated indicator of financial stability at the macro level has been suggested. The research results enable the possibility of improving the mechanism of state financial security and justifying the set of measures for its reinforcement. The review and improvement of the current legal framework in the area of financial and regulatory economic security, and development of the new integrated indicator of financial security level are necessary. Keywords: financial security; internal and external threats; legal mechanism of security provision, macroprudential regulation.

The article presents conceptual basis and outlines for a new direction in the ecosestate – fiscal security of the state. A range of vital conceptual problems have been addressed in the article, including defining the concept of the fiscal security, defining key terms, identification of status of fiscal security as scientific discipline in the ecosestate and distinguishing its institutional boundaries. The author emphasises, that problems and dysfunctions of the public finance system can create dangerous threats to the economic security of the state. They undermine the stability and effectiveness of basic economic institutions, weaken the country's economic sovereignty as well as reduce financial resources for its development. The author provides update of basic definitions and introduces new ones to outline concept of the fiscal security. According to presented approach “fiscal security of the state” reflects a performance of the public finance system that enable government to carry out its functions and tasks effectively as well as to resist external and internal threats to the economic and social stability in the state. Some provisions of the theory of economic security of the state have been revised, according to which fiscal security is being considered as part of the country's financial security. The author justifies the thesis, that public finance system itself is one of the crucial factors of the economic security of the state, therefore fiscal security should be considered as an autonomous component of the economic security of the state. Based on the considerations outlined in the article two separate components of the economic security of the state are proposed to be distinguished – financial security and fiscal security. An internal structure of each component is introduced as well in the article, which allows to define their institutional borders.

One of the main criteria for economic development is the size of the public debt and its dynamics. The article considers the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine. The views of scientists on the essence of public debt and financial security of the state are substantiated. An analysis of the dynamics and structure of public debt of Ukraine for 2014-2019. It is proved that one of the main criteria for economic development is the size of public debt and its dynamics. State budget deficit, attracting and using loans to cover it have led to the formation and significant growth of public debt in Ukraine. The volume of public debt indicates an increase in the debt security of the state, which is a component of financial security. Therefore, the issue of the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine is becoming increasingly relevant. The constant growth and large amounts of debt make it necessary to study it, which will have a positive impact on economic processes that will ensure the stability of the financial system and enhance its security.

Public debt management and servicing is one of the top priorities for the country’s financial policy, and an important condition for the stability of its financial system. Due to the need of solving the problem of the state debt of Ukraine growth and the cost of servicing it, it is urgent to increase the efficiency of methods for managing it. Ineffective management of Ukraine’s government borrowings, which is mainly used to cover the budget deficit, leads to a decrease in the state’s economic security level and an increase in the burden on the budgetary sphere and an aggravation of the debt situation. The maintenance and management of public debt is inextricably linked with the pursuit of a balanced debt policy and minimization of the risks inherent in public debt. The economic and social development of the country, its stability during the period of economic crises and the post-crisis speed of recovery of the national economic system depend on the efficiency and effectiveness of this management. After experiencing a deep economic crisis in 2014–2015, economic growth began to recover in 2016, and the total public debt in relation to GDP also tends to decrease. This was caused by various factors: the deficit of the state budget and balance of payments, heavy dependence on energy imports, ineffective use of attracted loans and the lack of proper debt management. This article analyzes the existing features of the formation of an effective public debt management system in the context of improving the efficiency of Ukrainian debt policy. The proposed measures of an effective management strategy will contribute to the rational use of borrowings and create the necessary conditions for optimizing the debt burden. The main goals of state debt management in Ukraine were analyzed, as well as the world practice of analyzing public expenditure and financial accountability was considered. The existing problems in the state debt management of Ukraine are identified, practical recommendations are provided for future development of the most effective scenario for solving Ukrainian debt problems. The forecast of public debt was calculated on the basis of a linear regression equation model, and the macroeconomic factors that have the biggest impact on the growth rate of public debt were determined.

The article is devoted to the problems of socio-economic differentiation of municipalities, the excessive manifestation of which forms a threat to the integrity of the socio-economic and territorial space of the region. In order to avoid crisis manifestations of intraregional inequality, it is necessary to constantly monitor the state and trends of socio-economic development of the territories, which will ensure the timely elimination of growing imbalances. To this end, the article proposes a methodological approach to assessing the level of differentiation of socio-economic development of municipalities in the region, which determines the stage of unevenness and analyzes the nature of changes in the processes of interterritorial inequality in the region. The proposed methodology provides for an assessment of the depth and scale of territorial differentiation by individual indicators, which allows us to identify the «pain points» of the socio-economic development of the region. To assess the overall level of socio-economic differentiation, an integral indicator is calculated that reflects the degree of deviation of the main parameters of the municipality from the regional average. Based on the results obtained, the territories are grouped according to the degree of differentiation, which makes it possible to justify the choice of measures and tools of regulatory influence on the development of individual municipalities by regional authorities. The methodology was tested on the example of the municipal districts of the Khabarovsk Territory. The study showed that the territories of the region are characterized by a critical level of the gap in the state of their socio-economic parameters, which is constantly growing. The results of the study can be used in the activities of the executive authorities of the region.
