Methodological bases of the study consist of general scientific methods of obtaining knowledge of economic phenomena and processes. Realization of study tasks requires the following methods: method of theoretical generalization – during the study of scientific works, regulatory legal acts; abstractlogical method – to generalize the theoretical and methodical provisions, as well as to determine the purpose of the study; method of a systematic approach – the definition of directions for improving the functioning of Participatory Budgeting as an effective instrument for implementing budgetary policy. Results. The main components, which should include Participatory Budgeting process are proposed, the purpose of which is to facilitate the establishment of a social dialogue between local authorities and residents of the territorial community, and to create conditions for the participation of the residents of the territorial community in the budgetary processes to meet their needs. The analysis of the conducted studies made it possible to determine the main risks and limitations of participatory budgeting. Practical implications. The main stages of the participatory budgeting process are outlined, in particular: the preparatory stage, the stage of budget formation and its approval, the main point of which is the establishment of a budget committee and the commencement of its work, the implementation stage, the stage of monitoring and evaluation of participatory budgeting. The main types of activity included in each stage have been studied. All of the above made it possible to develop a cycle of participatory budgeting as one of the directions of budgetary policy. We believe that the popularity of this process is determined by the benefits received by the residents, local authorities and the city in general. Value/originality. Formation and implementation of budgetary policy at the local level in the current conditions of decentralization of power with the help of the developed cycle of implementation of Participatory Budgeting will promote the establishment of a social dialogue between local authorities and residents of the territorial community, creating conditions for the participation of residents of the territorial community in a transparent budgetary process to meet their needs.
