Consistency of Budget Law

This article explores the key characteristics of budgetary law in the Russian Federation as a distinct sub-branch of financial law, as well as its significance within the broader legal system of the country. It highlights the importance of ensuring systematic legal regulation of state budgetary activities as one of the central objectives of contemporary legal policy. The author identifies and analyses a number of features that underscore the systemic nature of budgetary law. These include the presence of comprehensive codified legislation; the operational flexibility and adaptability of the legal mechanisms governing budgetary relations; the existence of core principles that define the substantive content of budgetary law and ensure the unity of its institutions; the historical continuity in the development of legal frameworks regulating budgetary processes; the orientation of budgetary norms toward achieving long-term strategic goals of public governance; and the capacity of budgetary law to give rise to interdisciplinary legal constructs. It is concluded that, due to its systemic properties, budgetary law serves not only as a legal instrument for organizing the state’s financial system but also as a significant factor contributing to the coherence and stability of the entire legal framework of the Russian Federation.
