The author comments on robustness of these rules and their influence on political pressure of budgetary process and impact of economic processes. The author claims that both market economy and democracy create the environment of public finance management. It is widely accepted to implement numerical fiscal rules into system of public finance, as such rules allow to build the mechanisms of security for process of collecting public revenues as well as executing public expenditure.
