The research objective is accompanied by the following research hypothesis: General Government expenditures financing sustainable social and economic development in the EU countries have been reduced due to increasing public finance imbalances.

The second one outlines changes in the structure of public expenditure connected with sustainable development financing. The study covers all of the EU member states. The analyses are based on Eurostat data.
