To that end, a ratio analysis was used, which made it possible to obtain an answer to the question of the effectiveness of debt management by the surveyed entities. The obtained results allow to formulate the conclusion that debt management by cities with district rights shows positive tendencies, indicating an improvement of the efficiency of this process.
