Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the principle of budgetary equilibrium which has a very long history. It is now understood in a completely different way than it was in the nineteenth century, however its role is still emphasized, especially in times of the global economic crisis. In the twentieth century the process of its implementation to the legal orders of the European countries began. Relevant regulations were introduced also to the Polish law, in this case to the Constitution. This process will continue as a result of recent initiatives undertaken within the European Union, which is becoming a leading player in implementation of the principle of budgetary equilibrium. Problems with practical application of these regulations will result in issuing further judgments, which have been already shaped over the years, in Poland mainly by the Constitutional Tribunal.
