Анотація

The article is devoted to an important component of the country’s financial security –public debt. The formation of governmental borrowing is caused by the State’s need for additional financial resources. These resources are used to ensure the fulfillment of all tasks set before the State aiming to ensure economic and social prosperity. Improperly developed policy of public debt management will undermine the financial security of the State. To analyze the state of public borrowing, the following indicators were considered: the volume of total, external and internal public debt of Ukraine from 2017 to 2021; the ratio of external, external-guaranteed, internal and internal-guaranteed public debt of Ukraine in 2021. It was determined that over the last 5 years the dynamics of governmental borrowing has been changing from positive to negative and vice versa. The problems of public debt management in Ukraine include inefficient using of borrowed funds; raising loans to cover existing debt; imperfect legislative support; small volumes of gold and foreign exchange reserves; permanent budget deficit, etc. The following prospects for public debt management were identified: a policy to reduce the budget deficit; greater focus on domestic creditors; diversification of investors; fulfillment of IMF lending conditions; simplification of the IGLBs procurement system, etc. The international experience of government borrowing management was also considered. The most effective public debt model that can be implemented in Ukraine is the example of Sweden, where the government launched a policy of reducing public debt through systemic reforms that need to be implemented at all levels of the State management
