One of the most urgent tasks for the Ukrainian Government is the search for rational strategies for managing external public debt. There are a number of unresolved problems in this area that slow down the development of the socio-economic sphere and reduce the authority of the state in the eyes of its own citizens, as well as from other countries and international organizations. In Ukraine, in order to increase the efficiency of public debt management, it is necessary to take the following measures: to improve the normative and legal and institutional provision of debt management; preserve the economic security of the state by shifting priorities towards domestic borrowing; reduce the share of short-term government debt and turn it into a long-term and eternal; increase the efficiency of the investment component of public expenditures; ensure transparency and reduce risks when providing state guarantees; to improve mechanisms of attracting, repaying and servicing of public debt in order to avoid peak payments; develop alternative non-government instruments for financing public expenditures.Consequently, the strategic task of the state debt policy should be to raise funds not only for consumer needs, but mainly for the implementation of innovation and investment development of the economy.
