This article points out the problems facing the management of the budget process in the Republic of Moldova. National public budget and its structural divisions are analyzed. The major focus is orientated to inter-budget relations, the largest effort in this context is on the state budget. There are also shown the weighted transfers into the public revenues by compartments. In particular, the transfers to the administrative – territorial budgets are increasing, fact which indicates a weak management of local public finance. The author’s proposals are about public finance management reform, transforming it into a performing one, and also the budget system reform.
