Assessment of Sustainable and Safe Development of Municipalities

The article examines the financial stability of municipalities in conjunction with financial and budgetary security. The analytical base is provided by the information of the Federal State Statistics Service, the section "Municipal Statistics", the database of the Leningrad Oblast. The article proposes methodological approaches to the assessment of financial stability and security of municipalities that can be used by authorities at all levels for monitoring studies of the sustainable and safe development of municipalities. The assessment of financial stability and financial and budgetary security will offer a more representative measure of the effectiveness of municipal management.
