Long-term financial planning and the development of flexible policies effectively reduce deficits and promote economic growth.

Conclusions. The study recommends strengthening financial legislation, empowering oversight bodies, and adopting innovative and sustainable financial strategies to ensure efficient public spending and optimal utilization of financial resources.
