This article deals with a relatively new theme – that of territorial impacts analysis of fiscal policy, or more precisely of implicit regional policy. The nature of public finance regional distribution within fiscal policy has essential regional impacts and implications for regional development. The reason for this statement embodies in the fact that the volume of finance allocated within fiscal policy is several times higher than that one distributed within explicit regional policy. A unique database, including the investment expenditure of the state budget during the period 1995-2003, is used for the purpose of regional analysis. A hypothesis on extremely uneven regional distribution of public capital expenditures, in favour of the most economically developed regions, is tested. Furthermore, it is presumed that regional allocation of these financial resources is in accordance with principles of the strategic form of regional policy. Finally, a regional analysis of expenditures of the selected state extra-budget funds is undertaken.
