The article stresses the need to clearly define the content and structure of a budget strategy as a methodological basis of developing strategic plans and long-term forecasts of budget figures. Based on the analysis of regulatory documents of legislative and executive powers at the federal and regional levels the authors emphasize that a budget strategy should not contain any long-term calculations of budgetary income and expenses. The work proves the expediency of developing a single methodological base for building a budget strategy at the sub-federal level. The authors make a conclusion that the subjects of the Russian Federation should develop techniques, methods and models of budgetary forecasting with due consideration of regional specifics.
