Importance During the economic crisis, the budget system faces problems related to budget performance, balance, and deficit reduction at all levels. These problems are particularly acute for rural settlement budgets. Objectives The study aims to assess socio-economic condition of rural settlements, potential sources of revenue in municipalities, and implementation of budget authorities in rural areas. Methods The study applies methods of grouping and statistical data analysis. Results I examined economic, social and budget indicators of rural settlements in the Novosibirsk oblast for 2015, the condition of transport network (roads, energy, water supply), population size and remoteness from the oblast center. The analysis and evaluation of rural settlements' indicators were performed in the sphere of trade, private plot activities, and farming. Conclusions Budgets of rural settlements are characterized by the lack of balance, financial stability and independence. To implement the principles of independence and balance of the budget system, it is required to integrate municipalities at the level of rural settlements. Fewer number of settlements will enable to enhance investment appeal of territories, improve management, reduce management costs, and channel financial resources to address economic and social problems.
