In the study, horizontal and vertical analysis of budget investments has been made, the lack of a significant relationship between the level of budgetary security of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation and the scales of its budget investments has been shown. It has been shown that the investment activity of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is not a determining fac tor, but an important factor of their investment attractiveness.
