The presented paper analyzes the trends of the consolidation of municipalities in Finland in the context of the existence of problems and the formation of development prospects. The key problematic points in the consolidation of municipalities in Finland are described. The relevance of the presented topic is due to the existence of a large number of problematic issues in the system of regulation of municipalities in the country under consideration. Research methods: analytical method, review method. Reforming of local self-government has become a characteristic trend in Russia in recent years. The budgetary-territorial organization was changed through the unification of municipalities. Little experience of state power and local self-government in Russia forces experts to turn to foreign practice and experience in order to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of reforms. Within the framework of this study, we will turn to the experience of Finland and the ongoing policy of consolidation of municipalities.
