Among all instruments of such policy, it is necessary to distinguish fiscal rules, which have positively proved themselves in foreign countries in the process of managing economic fluctuations, in overcoming economic crises and achieving sustainable economic growth.

It was established that the introduction of fiscal rules is associated with economic fluctuations, economic crises that shocked the economies of the world during the twentieth century – beginning of the XXI century. It was found that the introduction of fiscal rules is preceded by strategic planning and forecasting of the economic development of the country, which should be based and include a set of indicative indicators necessary to achieve future goals, and not a spontaneous solution, which can lead to further aggravation economic and social situation. The fiscal rule is a multifaceted instrument that aims to achieve overall macroeconomic stabilization and economic equilibrium.
