The need for effective budget planning in Ukraine in order to ensure effective and transparent implementation of the budget process generates the necessity for scientific understanding of the transfer of European practice of medium-term budget planning (MTBP) in domestic realities. Despite numerous developments of scientists concerning the possibilities of improving the procedure of medium-term budget planning (MTBP) in Ukraine, it is important to identify the features of its implementation based on the experienceof developed countries, which will allow us, taking into consideration the obtained results, to deepen further scientific and applied aspects of improving the medium-term budget planning system in Ukraine, to increase the efficiency of its implementation. One of such example is Germany's experience in introducing and implementing the medium-term budget planning. The main purpose of the investigation is the analysis of the budget planning in Ukraine, particularly, the factors influencing it, to determine the opportunities of the application of Germany’s experience concerning the introduction and implementation of the medium-term budget planning. The main advantages and disadvantages of using the MTBP procedure over the traditional (annual) budget are summarized in this paper. Factors of the MTBP development in Germany and other EU countries, particularly: effectiveness of regional practice; post-crisis period of national economies and the world economy; purposefulness of countries to the EU integration; significant amounts of public debt; implementation and enforcement of Directive 2011/85/EU in 2011 are established. Combination of all five preconditions available in Ukraine should ensure the accelerated development of the MTBP. It is determined that the use of German experience for the improvement of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine will contribute to rational distribution of budget resources between the budget system levels, increasing the level of predictability of the state budget policy, improving the macroeconomic balance, fiscal discipline and investment attractiveness of the country. It is noted that the non-fulfillment of the planned indicators of the state budget in Ukraine is due to the inefficient organization of the MTBP and the influence of macroeconomic environment factors.

The article is aimed at disclosing and substantiating the peculiarities of the introduction and implementation of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine. Medium-term budget planning is defined as an approach to planning and managing public finances, which expands the horizon for the formation of budget policy for three to five years and allows to plan and forecast budget revenues and expenditures necessary for the implementation of strategic goals of the State budget policy in the medium term. The article considers the main functions of the medium-term budget planning system. It is noted that the European Union is assessing the development of medium-term planning, namely: the «Quality Index», which provides for the highest assessment according to five criteria. In Ukraine, medium-term planning accounts for about 65% of the expenditures of the national governance sector. Medium-term budget planning should become an important instrument for public finance management, which will not only allow to have a high-quality and sound financial plan for the medium perspective, but will also be the basis for the development of the State-based socio-economic policy. Both the advantages and the disadvantages of medium-term budget planning are considered, attention is also paid to the disclosure of factors that currently hinder the development of both the State itself and the mechanism of implementation of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine. The directions and measures that should be taken to ensure the development of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine are substantiated, as well as the positive consequences of the effective implementation and implementation of medium-term budget planning in the country are determined.

The transition to future-oriented medium-term budget planning has been an important innovation in the budget process of Ukraine. Since then, the main budget indicators are calculated for the next three years with a forecast that allows for systemic reforms in several areas. This paper aims to identify problems of implementing budget planning for generating an envisaged and balanced budget in conjunction with the priorities of the state. The current status of budget planning and budget performance is analyzed by reviewing budget legislation, budget reporting, information-analytical and presentation data of state authorities and local governments, the experience of developed countries that have achieved some success in medium-term budget planning in terms of income and spending. The paper also reveals the features and advantages of medium-term budget planning based on the result; explores the approaches to transparent, effective, and high-quality use of budget funds with a limited potential of the state to increase tax revenues. The implementation of budget planning is due to the need for further development of the budget process in Ukraine towards increasing predictability, transparency, stabilizing the budget in the medium term, and solving important problems of efficient and high-quality use of budget funds for economic and social recovery.

The theoretical, methodological and practical principles of budget planning are considered in the work. The main economic and political factors that affect the quality of budget planning in a crisis economy are highlighted. The quality and efficiency of budget indicators planning during destructive events, internal and external threats are analyzed. The effectiveness of the state budget policy largely depends on effective budget planning. The principles of medium-term budget planning (Budget Declaration), which were introduced in our country and which aim to determine the general budget indicators for the next three years, should ensure the implementation of medium-term and long-term budget programs. However, the changing macroeconomic situation in the country and global economic challenges force the Budget Declaration to be revised annually. The main document of budget planning is the law on the State Budget of Ukraine for next year, and therefore the accuracy and completeness of its implementation depends on both medium-term budget planning and budget policy. The revenue part of the State Budget of Ukraine has a decisive influence on the formation expenditure’s part of the State Budget of Ukraine and a significant impact on the formation of local budgets. Therefore, the quality and accuracy of revenue planning is a necessary guarantee of socio-economic development of the state in the planned budget period. The execution of the revenue side of the state budget is also greatly influenced by foreign economic factors, which are not always predictable even for developed economies with a long history of budget risk forecasting, and for Ukraine sometimes become catastrophic, because our country does not have reserve funds as countries with developed economies. The purpose of the article is to consider and evaluate the theoretical and methodological and practical provisions of budget planning and develop on this basis practical recommendations for its improvement. In view of this, the paper revealed different approaches to the definition of «budget planning». The article considers the existing approaches to planning the revenue and expenditure side of the state budget. The authors identified factors that affect the quality of budget planning. The paper presents proposals for improving the efficiency of budget planning.

Purpose. The aim of the article is the development of proposals for improving the methodology of program-targeted planning in the process of managing the State Budget of Ukraine. Methodology of research. The following methods of economic research are used in the article: comparative analysis, causal analysis, expert survey – in determining the effectiveness of the National Target Program “Drinking Water of Ukraine for 2011-2020”; tabular and graphical methods – for visual visualization of the analysed / obtained data; abstract and logical – in formulating conclusions from the study. Findings. It is established that the total number of state targeted programs is reduced in recent years in Ukraine, respectively, and the amount of their funding is reduced, and the quality of their development and implementation remains low. It is substantiated that the program-targeted approach in Ukraine is unalterable, as it most fully and consistently allows in practice to implement the principles of state budget planning. At the same time, certain restrictions in the use of program-targeted planning have been identified. The method of evaluating the effectiveness of budget programs at all stages of the budget process is proposed, which can be a supplement to existing methodological approaches to realistically assess the implementation of a program, correct planned results, clarify goals and basic parameters of state programs of social and economic development of Ukraine. Originality. Scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of budget programs have been further developed; in particular, proposals have been developed to improve the methodology of program-targeted planning in the process of managing the State Budget of Ukraine. Practical value. The results of the conducted study can be the basis for improving the current methodology for assessing the effectiveness of budget programs in Ukraine, as well as identifying opportunities for European practice of program-targeted budget planning. Key words: state budget, planning, program-target method, evaluation, efficiency, program.

To the problems of budget allocation management in the transition from strategic to medium-term budget planning in territorial communities are devoted in the paper. It is proved that in the conditions of modern transformational changes, which are currently taking place in Ukraine, more and more attention is paid to the problems of coordination and control of actions of the state, economic entities and citizens in order to achieve strategic goals in the socio-economic development of territorial communities, regions and countries. The need for such actions is related to the further progressive development of the budget system of Ukraine. Budget management is considered as one of the directions of financial management. Budget management acts as a mechanism for managing the distribution of budget funds at the level of local governments and the state as a whole. Based on the budget (state budget and local budgets), each financial plan solves the problem of organization and management of budget funds at a specific level of government. The basic principles of effective budget management are offered. The main goals and principles of budget planning are presented. In Ukraine, the community has developed key recommendations for the transition to its own medium-term budget planning. Local self-government bodies of territorial communities can already initiate and start the process of strategic budget planning to ensure a rapid transition to medium-term budget planning in territorial communities. These include: application and use of techniques and methods of strategic self-management; formation of normative base of strategic and program documents; improving the organizational structure of territorial communities` financial management; application of financial management methods in the transition to condominiums; integration of annual budgets into medium-term priorities.

The article is devoted to revealing the peculiarities of medium-term budget planning in Ukraine in the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic and the development of proposals for its improvement. Based on the study of the dynamics of forecast budget indicators on the three-year time horizon, it was proved that medium-term budget planning should be considered as a kind of precaution to avoid unreasonable future government spending, which can adversely affect the pace of economic development and the level of well-being of the population of the country. At the same time, the indicators of revenues and expenditures of the budget for the next years are only a forecast that is periodically clarified in the Budget Declaration by the government in accordance with the trends in the economy and taking into account the emerging various factors of influence. With the spread of COVID-19, adjustments were made to the process of formation and implementation of Ukraine’s budget policy. It is proved that the absence of a legislatively approved strategic plan for the development of the country, including in the sphere of public finances, is one of the reasons for moderate progress in achieving the defined goals. At the present stage of Ukraine’s development, there are long-term financial challenges in the budget sphere that cannot be solved within one budget year, which forces the government to move to medium-term budgetary domination for effective management of budget resources. As a result of the study, the internal and external challenges faced by Ukraine in connection with the need to overcome the consequences of the spread of COVID-19 were identified, the need to focus on ensuring strict compliance with the already established deadlines, criteria and procedures in the formation of the state budget and defining urgent goals of medium-term budget planning. The prospect of further research in this direction is to prove the need to introduce long-term budget planning in Ukraine or to extend the time horizon of medium-term budget planning to a five-year period, which should be based on the relevant legal provision of the Basic Law of the State or the Budget Code of Ukraine.
