The system of horizontal fiscal equalization in the context of ensuring the implementation of the principles of unity and fairness of the budget system of Ukraine by N. Yaroshevych, I. Kondrat

The involvement of the Kyiv city budget in the system of equalizing horizontal fiscal imbalances will satisfy the criteria of fairness and completeness in accordance with the principles of the budget system of Ukraine, significantly reduce the burden on the donors of the reverse grant and at the same time create a minimal (3% of the total need for basic grants) additional burden on the state budget. …”
