70 The population receives a share of public wealth (GDP) in the form of: the development of modern infrastructure, high-quality medical care, educational services, urban development, environmental protection, the development of science, culture, the formation of the foundations of national security, etc. Public goods, as a result of budget regulation, significantly improve the quality of life of the population. Thus, with the help of the budget, the state raises social standards, provides comfortable conditions and well-being to its citizens [5, р.103]. In conditions of martial law, issues of social security of the population are no less important and relevant than the defense of the country, therefore they require the formation of an optimal level of budget expenditures to meet social needs [6, р.19]. There is a need to develop and implement a new social policy strategy that will meet public needs. It should be reflected in strengthening the role of a socially oriented economic mechanism, increasing labor productivity, and increasing GDP. It is well known that healthy, intelligent, and most importantly, satisfied people with their lives and work increase the national wealth of the country, that is, the potential of public finances, and strengthen the financial and economic power of the country [7, р.62]. The study showed that social spending is a tool for social development, as it plays an important role in the growth of human capital, increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and society as a whole, shaping the modern culture of behavior of society, contributing to the development of innovative technologies and increasing both the socio-economic and military potential of the country, which is extremely important and relevant.
