Strategic planning of the country’s economy development requires analysis of current normative acts and systematization of the state strategic planning documents. The purpose of the article is to highlight problematic aspects of normative regulation of state strategic planning by means of comparative analysis of existing laws, the solution of which will allow to form foundations for development of effective and effective new legislation. Methods used in the research: simile of comparative analysis, systematization and logic, etc. The hypothesis of the research was that to build an effective and efficient system of state strategic planning, it is necessary to develop and adopt the Law of Ukraine “On State Strategic Planning”. Presentation of the basic material: according to the results of the comparative analysis of the laws on state strategic planning for 2011 and 2017 on the following criteria: structure, subject of regulation, definition of terms, principles, system of documents, the requirements to them and their characteristics, participants of the state strategic planning and their powers are established. It has been established that the content of the considered laws differs materially in relation to the applied approaches to the definition of the regulation subject, terms, principles, construction of the documents system, powers of the participants. The analysis and characterization of the criteria investigated allowed to form shortcomings and problematic directions of implementation of the laws on state strategic planning. It was established that the list and classification characteristics of the system of state strategic planning documents are more detailed in the object of 2017, which stipulated the necessity of illustrative structuring of these documents for the proper reflection of their subordination, hierarchy and coordination. It is argued that the development of the law-making facility in the part of the formation of the document system should be based on the following methodical approaches: proper documents structuring by level (state, regional, branch); definition of functional reasonable period of the document, which is coordinated at all levels (long-term, medium-term, short-term); development of the set number of documents according to the level and authority of participants of the state strategic planning. The originality and practical significance of the research consists in the formation of a list of problematic aspects of legislative regulation of state strategic planning, which gives characteristics in terms of their relevance and proposals for solution. Conclusions. The necessity of developing a comprehensive system of state strategic planning has been proved by defining actual tasks and principles, forming an effective system of mutually agreed documents, assigning functional full powers to the process participants, and taking into account international trends and goals of sustainable development of the United Nations. Further studies provide for the development of the Draft law “On state strategic planning”.
