Fundamental goal of public finance management is effective use of available public resources. To achieve this goal fiscal policy is directed towards strategic allocation of public finance; this implies effective direction of public finances to the state’s priorities and creation of long-term stable funding package to finance these priorities.

Transition from annual to long-term planning is crucial for increasing effectiveness of the public finance management. This change will facilitate long-term planning and reliable financing of medium-term public priorities.

Improvement of the public finance management implies transition to outcome-oriented budgeting process; this means that budgetary resources will be allocated to finance activities to be implemented within the program framework and to achieve goals set in the program framework.

One of the central parts of the state finance management is development of effective accountability system that will evaluate real results achieved within the fiscal policy and compare them with planned (expected) results.

Effective public finance management serves the improvement of macroeconomic stability of the country.

Strategic budgeting will support improvement of discipline in the budgetary sector.
