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.

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.

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 considers the approaches to the interpretation of the category "shadow economy", which causes a variety of approaches to assessing the impact of the shadow economy on the socio-economic development of Ukraine. The spread of the pandemic and the complication of economic conditions, formed as a result of the introduction of forced restrictive measures, have led to the growth of the shadow economy in Ukraine. The index of shadowing of the economic sphere in relation to the inflation index and the level of the state budget deficit has been studied. The factors that led to the shadowing of the economy and caused the growth of the share of the shadow sector in the economy of Ukraine are highlighted. The main components of shadow employment are identified. Business entities operating in the shadow sector have significantly more competitive advantages and much higher efficiency than legally operating businesses. As a result, such enterprises are an obstacle to the flow of funds to the budgets of all levels of the country, and as a consequence, have a negative impact on socio-economic development in general. In recent years, state budget expenditures have been growing too slowly, which indicates a high level of shadowing of the economy in conditions of high inflation and, consequently, negatively affects the socio-economic security of society. Budget expenditures are closely linked to public policy, which allows the state to curb the level of economic shadowing through measures to reform relevant areas. It is investigated that the State budget expenditures grow too slowly, which indicates a high level of shadowing of the economy in conditions of high inflation. The paper substantiates the reasons for the growth of the shadow economy and identifies the main measures to reduce shadow employment, the manifestations of which are the deformation of social and economic institutions of the state. The de-shadowing of the economy provides citizens with the right to social protection, in the form of social guarantees in case of unemployment, temporary incapacity for work, accidents or occupational diseases during official work, pensions, etc.

Thus, the internal factors of socio-economic development of the Vinnytsia region are dominated by strengths. With regard to agriculture and industry, the situation in the region is currently exacerbated by a shortage of skilled labor, namely, specialists in engineering and manufacturing. External labor migration increases the risk of further development of the labor industry. Declared indicators of socio-economic development of the territorial community are considered in terms of a set of different social and economic goals, rational and reasonable use of municipal and state financial resources. The given separate indicators characterizing social and economic development of territorial community allow to define acceptability of conditions for life and development of the person, social and economic stability of community. Changes in social and economic indicators under the influence of internal factors are the basis for the formation of qualitative socio-economic development of the region and the state as a whole.

The article assesses the financial support of regional policy. The theoretical and methodological foundations of regional financial policy in Ukraine are highlighted. The main instruments for securing this policy are the share of revenues assigned to territories in the budgets at all levels of the budget system, local taxes and fees, the rates of deductions from state taxes to local budgets, as well as subsidies provided to local budgets. It is noted that there is a considerable dependence of the development of the territories on the processes occurring in the higher level administrative units. The essence of regional financial policy as a spatial segment of public financial policy is revealed. Models of financing of regional development are given. The current model of financing regional development is multichannel, multilevel and includes both traditional financial institutions - state, local budget, and new institutions of mixed financing of the transformational economy. At the regional level, one of the main elements of the mechanism for regulating socio-economic development is the development and implementation of integrated regional programs aimed at improving the functioning of a particular sector of the economy. On the example of Kharkiv region, the mechanism of regulation of socio-economic development is analyzed by evaluating the effectiveness of regional financial policy implementation by individual indicators. The influence of local self-government bodies of Kharkiv region on formation of own financial policy is determined. According to the results of the research, the indicators of financial independence of local self-government were calculated: the coefficient of financial autonomy, the coefficient of financial dependence, the coefficient of autonomy, the ratio of the share of local taxes and fees in the structure of tax revenues. Based on the research, it is found that the share of state transfers in local budget revenues is gradually decreasing, financial dependence on public revenues is decreasing, tax revenues in the structure of local budgets are increasing, which indicates an increase in financial autonomy as a whole.

The analysis of the scientific sources devoted to problems of regional development is carried out. The article reveals that the organizational and legal basis for the regional policy has been formed the basic principles of regulation of socio-economic development at the regional level have been determined in Ukraine during the period of independence. The research shows that in the context of continuing administrative reform, the state regional policy, which is part of the national strategy of the socio-economic development of Ukraine, is closely linked to adjusting the administrative-territorial structure of the state. It is implemented by executive authorities and local governments through the system of methods, tools, means, measures for the realization of the defined purposes and maintenance of efficient, complex management of social and economic development at the regional level. The dynamics of the main indicators of socio-economic development at the regional level is presented. The paper shows that the GRP resumed growing in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The analysis indicates the population reduction in all regions of Ukraine, except for Kyiv region, which is the leader in the number of arrivals; concentration of human resources in industrial regions (25% of the population of Ukraine is concentrated in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv regions); GRP growth per capita in most oblasts and Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv (excluding Kyiv) oblasts reaching the leading positions; increasing level of concentration of production in cities with a population of over a million: Kyiv, Kharkiv and in the largest regional centers of Ukraine: Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv, and others. The paper proves that public authorities during the development of strategic, program decisions on regional development management should take into account the challenges caused by the geopolitical situation, the global crisis caused by the pandemic, climate change, man-made disasters, etc.
