Abstract
Under the influence of various endogenous and exogenous shocks, a limited amount of funds and the different state of the housing and communal services sector (hereinafter – housing and communal services) in the regions, there is a need to improve the quality of public financial management and optimize expenses in this area. Finding ways to optimize the use of budget funds necessitates assessing the performance of the industry, as well as selecting and justifying a system of indicators for analysis. Based on the selected indicators, the state of the housing and communal services sector was assessed using data from the Republic of Bashkortostan as an example, and the main problems were identified. A methodological toolkit for assessing the effectiveness of budget expenditures is proposed, which allows, based on the ratio of costs and results, to identify a region of «best practice», determine the effectiveness of other territories and reserves for improving their situation. Testing based on statistical data for the regions of the Volga Federal District made it possible to identify effective and ineffective regions. The importance of applying the proposed approach in assessing the effectiveness of budget expenditures in the housing and communal services sector at the regional level is determined. The results obtained as part of the study are the initial basis for assessing additional factors influencing the effectiveness of regional expenditures in the housing and communal services sector and developing recommendations for financing the industry.
