EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STATE BUDGET OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN IN DETERMINING PRIORITIES FOR BUDGET SPENDING

 

 

Kazakhstan was the first in the former Soviet spacechosenthe way of strategic planning, which includes long-term priorities of the country. In this case long-term priorities are permanent landmarks in the development of plans and programs of development for the near future [1].

The first document describing the development of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the long term, was the strategy "Kazakhstan-2030". In turn, an important tool to implement the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030" serves the state budget. Therefore, to assess the impact of state budget expenditures on these or other priorities of the strategy, the functional groups can be correlated with spending priorities of the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030 [2].

Functional Groups "Debt Service" and "transfer" referred to the priority "Economic growth based on an open market economy with high levels of foreign investment and domestic savings," since costs within those groups affected primarily by macroeconomic indicators of the country, providing for equitable distribution resources within the country and the financial stability of the state.

Functional group "Other" assigned to the priority of the "Professional State," because the costs for this group is divided between different ministries and departments and are designed to ensure that their activities in those areas which are not covered in other groups, which ultimately affects the professionalism of the executive branch. In accordance with the distribution of expenditures of state budget priorities of the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030" is presented in Table 2 [3], [4], [5].

Currently, the priority of this or that direction of budgetary funds can be determined based on the growth of specific weights in the total cost of the state budget.

We present the analyzed data for 2009-2011, to a comparable sort through the index of consumer prices (the deflator factor), which in 2009 - 107.3% (or 1.073), in 2010 - 107.1% (or 1.071), in 2011 was 108.4% (or 1.084),) [6]. The calculations are as follows:

Next, you need to find the shares of each expense of the state budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan on long-term priorities of the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030" that year in total expenditure budget. After that you should calculate the growth rate of the specific weights given long-term priority of the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030".

Based on the data of Table 4 can be seen on the priority items of public spending. Based on the analysis, we can conclude on the priority of the social orientation of the state budget of Kazakhstan [7].

Cost-effectiveness from a social point of view can be calculated using the coefficient of fiscal capacity of the population (CFCP), which shows the amount of the per capita expenditure. To do this, find the ratio of state budget expenditures on long-term priority, "Health, education and welfare of the citizens of Kazakhstan" and the population. The calculation of the fiscal capacity of the population over the period 2009-2011 are shown in Table 5:

Analyzing the data in Table 5, we can note the tendency of growth factor availability to the public budget for 2009-2011: the growth rate in 2010 was 1.1 in 2011 increased to 1.2. At the same time in 2009 accounted for 1 person 135 065 tenge, in 2010 - 156 954 tenge, in 2011 - 184366 tenge The above amounts are per person per year are sufficient to fund all necessary expenses.

However, since this indicator shows the effectiveness of public expenditure in the whole social sphere, it should be noted that the budget funds in certain areas of long-term priority, "Health, education and welfare of the citizens of Kazakhstan" (education, health, social care and social security, housing and utilities; culture, sports, tourism and information space) can be spent inefficiently.

Thus, for a more accurate calculation of the efficiency of budgetary funds should be considered the direction of their use in certain areas at specific goals [8].

Currently in the Republic of Kazakhstan formed the main base (platform) target program method of budget planning. In particular, the planning of budgets of all levels are based on an evaluation of their effectiveness and efficiency, incorporating socially meaningful outcomes of public spending. This in turn implies:

• Harmonization of strategic, economic and budgetary planning;

• Transition from "managing costs" to "performance management", i.e. the reorientation of public authorities with a formal budget implementation to achieve specific outcomes;

• Improving the quality of public services;

• improving the efficiency of budget expenditures.

However, in the course of the program-target method in practice, identified the main reasons for the lack of tangible progress on its implementation:

• Lack of or insufficient study of the effectiveness and efficiency indicators (indicators);

• Restriction of independence administrators;

• Human factors (lack of understanding of new methods of work, lack of trained personnel).

Given currently have the problem of increased use of budget funds can offer the following recommendations to address them:

1. Improving the regulatory framework for the development, implementation, monitoring execution of budget programs;

2. Strict adherence to the current budget legislation of the budget process, budget holders;

3. Conducting workshops and master classes for administrators of budgetary programs to raise awareness of changes and additions to existing regulations.

Thus, to improve the efficiency of budget funds necessary to actually achieved results consistent with the planned and actual expenditures were less than planned, or that in fact the results achieved exceeded the target level for the immutability of the actual expenditures.
