Preparation Of The State Budget :the Modern Methods Adopted

Authors : Attia Azzeddine . Bairech Ahmed .

Abstract

The numerous limitations observed in the practical application of traditional budgeting, combined with the increasing significance of public budgeting due to the evolving role of the State and its expanding activities, have led to the development of various modern approaches to public budgeting. This article examines these approaches, beginning with program and performance-based budgeting, programming and planning budgeting, zero-based budgeting, and concluding with the latest stage of development: the emergence of contractual budgeting. The study finds that these diverse approaches and modern international experiences offer significant advantages for planning, controlling, and rationalizing public spending. This makes them worthy of study and adoption in modernizing budgeting systems and integrating advanced methods to achieve financial policy objectives with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
