The purpose of the article is to identify areas for improving budgetary planning tools as an integral part of public finance management. The level of quality of budgetary planning is an important factor in balancing budgets at different levels of the budget system at the time of increasing global instability. Effective measures are taken under conditions of permanent improvement of financial management, based on the use of advanced information technologies, innovative methods for assessing the socio-economic situation of public-law entities. Theoretical and methodological bases of functioning of the budgetary planning system, the possible ways of its improvement in the context of institutional transformations are identified. During the period of actualization of strategic goal-setting in the economy, for the development of the financial management system in terms of improving the budget process, a detailed analysis and assessment of the impact of internal and external factors on the financial and economic environment is required. Opportunities to identify certain patterns and objective trends in the dynamics of macroeconomic indicators and parameters of budgets of the budgetary system are created on this basis. The timeliness of the use of such financial tools as budgeting, result orientation and program-targeted planning, the use of which allows to link the expenditures of public-law entities with the current financial policy, as well as to increase the degree of openness and transparency of the budgetary process, has been proved. Conclusions on the advisability of applying best foreign practices in the activities of financial management bodies at the subnational level are drawn. The key areas of further research in the spatial aspect are the development of multivariate forecasts and econometric models that make it possible to assess the possibilities of economic development of the country and the tax potential of administrative-territorial units.
