This article analyses the main indicators of the fiscal policy of Ukraine and their correlation with the corresponding figures of the EU. Currently, the state budget deficit of Ukraine is one of the factors of inflation, which affects financial and economic stability, as the total public debt is forecasted for 2016 in the amount of 1.9463 trillion UAH (86% of the projected GDP). The authors have defined the main directions of the budget policy improvement in terms of economic reforms, including the use of the budget deficit as a tool for financial and economic regulation. It is indicated that the components of the budget strategy should provide a synergistic effect in the budget system restructuring process to improve fiscal stability in the country.
