The paper raises the issue of economic and legal due diligence of the allocation of expenditures of the state budget of Ukraine for the State Emergencies Service of Ukraine (SES of Ukraine). The research shows that under the political transformations in Ukraine, characterized by variability and uncertainty of environmental factors, the role and importance of effective functioning of law enforcement agencies, in particular the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, is increasing. Their network is shrinking, the number of staff is being downsized. At the same time, the control of financial bodies over the economic and targeted use of funds is being strengthened, and a regime of strict limitation of budget expenditures and other state expenditures is being introduced to reduce the budget deficit and prevent financial crisis. A number of laws, statutes, codes, rules, regulations and requirements on the distribution of state budget expenditures of Ukraine has been analyzed. The three-times shrinking of resources aimed initially at the construction (purchase) of housing for the rank and file and senior staff of the Civil Protection Service in 2021 is considered to be a negative social indicator for the SES of Ukraine. The positive dynamics is traced in the increase in funding for the activities of the civil defense forces by 6 %. It is noted that in recent years no funds have been allocated for the purchase of fire and other special equipment of domestic production. It is concluded that this level of funding is not sufficient, because the effectiveness of emergency response is determined by the level of combat capability of the material and technical base of the bodies and units of the SES of Ukraine. With an insufficient funding, the required level of protection of the population and territories from emergencies cannot be achieved.

Budget System

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.

Twin deficits hypothesis suggests that there is a positive relationship between budget and current account deficits. The present study examines Twin Deficits Hypothesis over the period of 2005:01–20013:12 in Kyrgyzstan by using Vector Autoregressive Model technique. The results show that there are relationships between government expenditure, export and import. The causalities are from government expenditure to export and import. These results confirm the Keynesian view, which asserts the existence of twin deficits, meaning that the state budget deficit at weak real economy, in an open economy, increase imports, which is the cause of twin deficits in the economy of Kyrgyzstan. To solve the problem of twin deficits, the state must pursue an active foreign trade policy in addition to fiscal policy, as it is proven empirically the state budget deficit has a big impact on trade deficit, but not the main factor of trade deficit.

Defense Function

The article highlights the aspects of the Security and Defense Sector’s defense function. Based on the analysis of the legislationof Ukraine, the specifics of the normative regulation of the content of the category “defense”, as well as the diversity of doctrinal understandingof this category are highlighted. It is noted that the defense function of the state is realized, in fact, by all elements of the powermechanism. In this way, the state of readiness of the state “defense forces” necessary for the flow of armed aggression is achieved.Along with this, it was noted that within the framework of the state mechanism, it is expedient to single out those structures whosecompetence directly provides for the implementation of the defense function.The structure of the security and defense sector contains four components, which are differentiated according to their functionalpurpose and legal nature. In particular, these are: 1) security forces; 2) defense forces; 3) defense-industrial complex; 4) public associationsthat voluntarily participate in ensuring national security. It is also worth noting that the institutional components of Ukraine’ssecurity and defense sector belong to both the state apparatus and civil society institutions.The content of the categories “security forces” and “defense forces” is distinguished. Security forces are law enforcement andintelligence agencies, state bodies of special purpose with law enforcement functions, civil defense forces, as well as other bodiesentrusted by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine with functions to ensure the national security of Ukraine. In turn, the defense forcesinclude the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as other military formations, law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies formedin accordance with the laws of Ukraine, as well as special purpose bodies with law enforcement functions, which are assigned by theConstitution and laws of Ukraine. The main institutional element of the Security and Defense Sector is the Armed Forces of Ukraine.It is the Armed Forces that protect the sovereignty of the state and territorial integrity, as well as ensure the inviolability of state borders.Emphasis is placed on the function of the National Guard of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine as important componentsof the security and defense sector.It is noted that today the subordination of military institutions and law enforcement agencies to various ministries and authoritiesis a factor that may negatively affect their interaction in the process of performing the tasks provided by law. Therefore, we consider itexpedient for the President of Ukraine, as the Head of State and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, toadopt a normative act on cooperation between the Security and Defense Sector in the process of armed defense of Ukraine’s territorialintegrity and state sovereignty.

The Stability

The state financial system must function smoothly and respond promptly to destabilizing exogenous and endogenous factors that can arise at any time. Therefore, ensuring the financial system's stability and improving its mechanisms is an important component of public policy. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of the financial system's stability, identify internal factors of the financial vulnerability of Ukraine that may affect the effectiveness of the country's financial system, and find ways to overcome them. The content of the concept of "stability of the financial system" is revealed. It is established that the use of different terminology indicates the complexity and, at the same time, the versatility of this term. According to international experience, the country's central bank has a decisive role in assessing the stability of the financial system; in Ukraine, this function is performed by the National Bank of Ukraine. It was found that inefficient use of budget funds is one of the key factors in the financial system's vulnerability. The state of execution of the State Budget of Ukraine in 2020 is analyzed. It has been established that over the last decade, the budget has been executed with a deficit, and the existence of a significant budget deficit leads to a movement in the “debt spiral”. The Government borrows a significant amount of money to implement the budget, and therefore it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract them on reasonable terms. Failure to receive the funds leads to late spending. Thus, the budget deficit, public debt, and inefficient use of budget funds are the internal factors that increase the financial system's vulnerability and undermine its stability.

Analysis Of Dynamics

Analysis of dynamics of indicators of the state and the state-guaranteed debt in Ukraine in recent years is carried out and imperatives of the growth of public debt are determined. It is found out that its primary factors were the expansion of financing of the state budget for budget support of the state sector of economy, banking system, as well as the financing of the budget deficit. It is concluded that the solving of such tasks was carried out under conditions of aggravation of financial risks, namely: revenue mobilization, attraction of an additional resource for the purpose of financing the budget deficit and deficit-debt adjustment, under-fulfilment of privatization plans, admission of high inflation, as well as depreciation of the national currency. It is noted that the growth of public debt was due to an increase in the state borrowings, which were used to repay obligations, cover the costs of conducting the active operations and shift part of the borrowings of corporations and institutions to the state budget. The conduct of active operations was aimed at providing the financial support to the state banks and state institutions, DGF and capitalization of some private banks. Changes in the volume of the state borrowings are disclosed in terms of the ratio of their internal and external components. The reasons and consequences of growth of costs of deficit-debt adjustment (active operations within the framework of the state budget) are determined. Under conditions of non-fulfillment of revenue plans from privatization of the state property, such a policy will lead to aggravation of fiscal risks (retention of high indicators of the state borrowings and debt financing at the expense of the NBU and the state banks). The policy of state borrowings (in terms of internal and external components) turned out to be inconsistent: sharp changes were allowed in attracting the resource from internal and external sources, and the implementation of debt policy was marked by significant peak load on the state budget as well as their high profitability both in domestic and foreign markets. The volume of loan servicing continued to grow, which became a factor of increasing budget expenditures. Financing of borrowings using the resources of the NBU and the state-owned banks were reaching high rates. The author proposes the directions of fiscal policy aimed at restraining and restricting the state and the state-guaranteed debt by introducing changes to fiscal policy in Ukraine.

The aim of the article is to present a problem concerning the effects of the public debt and the budget deficit. The public debt is a result of the lack of adequate income earned by the financial sector, what means that it must incur liabilities to be able to carry out its tasks or improper management of the state budget funds - what results in the budget deficit. The size of the state's debt and the public debt has a very large impact on the socio-economic situa-tion of the country as well as on its financial policy. Due to the high indebtedness of the state, the whole economy is disturbed, the state authorities are not able to allocate an adequate amount of the funds to stimulate invest-ments. Such actions slow down the dynamics of economic development, what means that the state authorities most often look for savings. Unfortunately, this usually happens at the expense of the ordinary(?) citizens. Countries that have a high level of the debts tend to lose their credibility internationally. This may result in the fall in the foreign investments and the outflow of the foreign capital.

The paper investigates the most optimal forms and methods of legal influence on public relations in the field of economics. The absence of the main element of the economic mechanism – competition requires a proper assessment of the causes of existing problems, the right choice and the optimal set of means of influencing economic relations in order to accelerate the socio-economic development of Ukraine. Among the numerous legal problems of state regulation of the socio-economic sphere, two are identified, which are interdependent – ensuring the stability of the hryvnia exchange rate and increasing the share of goods of own production in the domestic market. To ensure the stability of the hryvnia exchange rate, the need to fix it for a long time with the establishment of an allowable range of fluctuations, in which the exchange rate changes in both directions with equal probability, is substantiated. The devaluation of the exchange rate should not be planned in the State Budget and used as a way to hide its actual deficit. The real budget deficit should be determined by the sum of the percentage of hryvnia devaluation and the percentage of the planned direct budget deficit. The hryvnia exchange rate should not be fixed in the State Budget, as such a provision of the law releases the National Bank of Ukraine from the constitutional obligation to ensure the stability of the hryvnia exchange rate provided for in Art. 99 of the Constitution of Ukraine. The means of maintaining a stable hryvnia exchange rate is to increase the share of goods / services of own production in the domestic market and to reach the minimum critical level of 50% within one or two years. To assess the achieved level, it is not necessary to use statistical indicators, but only the actual amounts of VAT contributed to the budget received from the sale of goods / services. Achieving the proposed level involves the transition to innovation and investment model of economic development. Two own sources of investment are proposed – the introduction of a new tax on exported capital and the forced legalization of capital exported from Ukraine earlier.

<p>In recent years, Vietnam has achieved high economic growth rate so inflation has become a noticeable problem. The relationship between state budget deficit and inflation is a two-way dialectical relationship. However, within the limit of this article, the author only studies one-way relationship, the effect of budget deficit on inflation rate in Vietnam. Prolonged budget deficit and the remediation of the state budget deficit by different methods have affected the inflation rate on different degrees. This effect is analyzed by many approaches, both quantitative and qualitative, and includes five approaches: impact of fiscal policy inflation, impact of the state budget deficit level on inflation, impact of budget deficit funding on inflation, independence of monetary policy and its effect on inflation, effect of public expenditure on inflation.</p>

The problem of providing housing of the dismissed or retired servicemen and members of their families is analyzed in the article on the basis of archival sources and publications.The situation with providing of housing for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine dismissed from military service in the early 1990s, was complicated by the return to Ukraine of more than 32 thousand families of servicemen who served in other CIS countries. Financing of housing construction and provision of retired military personnel was carried out from state and local budgets. The research showed that every year expenditures on housing construction were reduced for persons dismissed from military service.To solve this problem the Program for housing providing for the dismissed or retired servicemen was adopted in 1999. The aim of the program was to facilitate the implementation of state policy in providing housing for retired servicemen, concentration of financial, logistic and other resources as well as coordination of the activities of central and local executive authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations for solving this problem. The National Coordinating Centre for Social and Professional Adaptation of the dismissed or retired servicemen was responsible for the implementation of the Program. The National Coordinating Centre controled the use of budget funds, following the compliance of local executive authorities and local self-government bodies with legislation on the provision of housing for persons discharged from military service, formed a consolidated database on the apartment registration of dismissed servicemen.For improve the implementation of the Program, traditional and non-traditional sources of funding were involved, including the deduction of 1.5% of corporate profit tax. Among the sources of financing of the Program were assets and property seized by customs and law enforcement agencies and transferred to the state property for use in housing construction. The Program for providing housing, during 2005-2008, was not included in the list of budget programs of the Ministry of Defense and target expenditures from the general fund of the State Budget for its implementation were not allocated. The share of subvention from the state budget to local budgets was the only but insufficient financing source. As a result, the amount of housing received at the expense of said subvention, has been constantly decreasing. In the following years the financinghas practically ceased, which has led to an aggravation of the problem of providing housing to retired servicemen.The situation with providing of housing for servicemen who were on the housing account in local self-government bodies during the investigated period was extremely difficult. The conducted research testifies to the imperfection of the current hosing legislation’s norms. This made it possible for the local authorities to consider the issue of providing housing to dismissed servicemen at their discretion, which resulted in numerous abuses. Effective methods and means of construction and reconstruction of state objects, cooperative and individual housing stock are necessary to implement in order to make the complex decision. This problem can be solved by developing and approving the procedure for granting privileged loans to dismissed servicemen for the purpose of construction and purchase of housing, the allocation of land for housing construction, and the purchase of housing in the secondary market.It is necessary to create a unified state mechanism that would allow local self-government bodies and the public to ensure compliance with state guarantees for the provision of housing for persons dismissed from military service. To introduce a transparent system of attraction, distribution and spending of funds directed at construction (purchase) of housing for the specified category of citizens.
