The article analyzes the state of formation and efficiency of the State Budget of Ukraine. It has been established that budget expenditures exceed revenues and as a result, the budget has been formed over the last decade with a significant deficit, and the existence of a deficit leads to a movement in the "debt spiral". To implement the budget the Government is forced to borrow additional funds and attract them on acceptable terms, which has become increasingly difficult. Failure to receive the funds leads to late spending. The analysis of expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine according to the functional classification is carried out, which testified to the main priorities of the state in modern conditions. Given Russia's aggression in the east of the country, it is logically justified to increase security and defense spending. However, it is advisable to review social expenditures, which are quite large in size and do not improve the quality of social services, on the contrary, restrain economic growth, the country's transition to an innovative model of development. In order to increase the efficiency of budget execution, the validity of macro indicators, it is advisable to introduce medium-term budget planning. Budget expenditures must be justified and balanced in order to achieve the most effective results of budget programs and the goals of the budget system of Ukraine. The study identified systemic shortcomings in the State Budget of Ukraine, which are repeated from year to year, as well as those that characterize the special year 2020 associated with the pandemic COVID-19. Emphasis is placed on the functioning of the domestic system of public financial control and its importance in reducing the volume of budget violations, the effectiveness of budget execution, promoting better functioning of the financial and budgetary system, ensuring sustainable dynamics of socio-economic development of the country.

The article examines the indicators on the basis of which the budget execution in Ukraine is assessed. Budget revenues and expenditures are characterized. The paper demonstrates the features of calculating the budget deficit (surplus) in Ukraine before and after 2004 year, emphasizing that despite the special place of this indicator in the budget planning system, for various reasons for a number of years there was neglect of current regulations legislation and world experience in budget deficit management. It is emphasized the imperfection of the budget deficit indicator due to its inherent shortcomings, concluding that the absolute value of the budget deficit is important in connection with another indicator – budget financing. The components of budget financing are named and characterized. It was found that the most important role in the context of balancing the main budget of the state belongs to debt operations. It is demonstrated the relationship between indicators of budget deficit and financing (their modular values are the same), revenues and expenditures (identical provided the balances at the beginning and end of the reporting period), net borrowing and the amount of public debt (the value of the latter increases / decreases by the amount net borrowing). The examples of specific budget years demonstrate the facts of exceeding the total amount of funding (budget deficit) by net borrowings of the state; the conclusion about the significance of the indicator of net borrowings in assessing the state of public finances is drawn; the need for further search for ways to improve the quality of budget management, thoughtful borrowing planning, the implementation of active budget operations with securities is stressed.

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.

The role of the Government and Parliament, as well as a special body of management of public finances (in the Republic of Lithuania, the Ministry of Finance) – legislative and executive authorities – is emphasized in the scientific literature. But it is often not mentioned what an important place in this process other participants of budgetary relations – state budget appropriation managers – takes. The main participation of state budget appropriation managers in the budget planning process related to the planning of the budget expenditures.Preparation of strategic plans and programmes of budgetary funds by state budget appropriation managers can be considered part of governance activities in general. For budget planning drawn up draft budgets of the programs by state budget appropriation managers is particularly important.Conclusions.

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.

The article is devoted to the development of methodological tools for budget financing of the agricultural sector of the economy of Ukraine. It is substantiated that the agricultural sector is a basic component of sustainable development of the national economy, a multiplier of general economic growth. The low quality of budget planning was diagnosed, which negatively affected the formation of the system of budget financing of the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy. Systemic shortcomings of the financial support of the agricultural sector of the economy from the State Budget of Ukraine identified: repeated adjustment of planned expenditures for the general and especially for the special fund, due to non-fulfillment of planned volumes and untimely budget allocations for the needs of the agricultural sector, lack of continuity the amount of funding for government programs, etc. It is established that agriculture of Ukraine is financed by 2/3 from the general fund of the State budget, from the special - by a third; the main source of funding for other sectors of the agricultural sector is the general fund. The types of models of state regulation of the agricultural sector of the economy in terms of basic features are identified - the type of financial policy, the level of state intervention, targeting, consequences for the market environment, and countries that apply the relevant models. According to this set of features, American and European types of models are distinguished. The type of capital reproduction model in the agrarian sector of Ukraine's economy is diagnosed as an intermediate type (between American and European) with a specific mechanism of financial regulation, in which direct methods of state regulation with appropriate levers and tools are preferred. It is emphasized that the target vector of state support should be positive dynamics in creating added value in the agricultural sector of the economy and stabilizing the financial stability of agricultural enterprises, which will form the basis of expanded capital reproduction and encourage accelerated sustainable development of the agricultural sector. The main directions of budget financing of the agrarian sector of the economy of Ukraine are formed: increase of absolute volume and specific weight in the general expenses of the Consolidated budget of Ukraine at the level of the contribution of the branch to the GDP of the country; improving the quality of budget planning of expenditures, limiting the possibility of adjusting their volumes for the general and special fund; expenditures to support food security and export potential of the agricultural sector of the economy under protected items; ensuring structural changes in favor of the development budget and its formation on a medium-term basis; prohibition of discretion in the financing of state and regional target programs in accordance with the approved passports, specification of these expenditures in accordance with the departmental and program classification, to ensure the transparency of the budget process.

Fines are sanctions or punishments that are applied in the form of the obligation to pay a sum of money imposed on the denial of a number of agreements previously agreed upon. There is debate over the status of fines in Islamic law. Some argue that fines may not be used, and some argue that they may be used. In the context of fines for delays in payment of taxes, in fiqh law it can be analogous to ta'zir bi al-tamlīk (punishment for ownership). This can be justified if the tax obligations have met the requirements. Whereas according to Islamic teachings, fines can be categorized as acts in order to obey government orders as taught in the hadith, and in order to contribute to the realization of mutual benefit in the life of the state. As for the amount of the fine, the government cannot arbitrarily determine fines that are too large to burden the people. Penalties are applied as a message of reprimand and as a means to cover the lack of the state budget.
