The methodology and its components play a crucial role in forming the necessary basis for forecasting and planning the national economy. The work found that in the literature there is no generally accepted understanding of the content of the methodology of forecasting and planning work, which leads to ambiguous interpretations in the selection of its parts, complicating the analysis of practical application. The aim of the study is to determine the complex of key components and elements of the methodology based on the understanding of foresight and design of the future as creative and transformative activity and to test the element-byelement structure using the example of forecasting and planning in Russia. The novelty of the research lies in the creation of a decomposition model of the category “methodology of forecasting and planning of the national economy”. The obtained results of the study made it possible to single out such components of the methodology as the foundations, order, methods, results, monitoring of forecast and planned work; the elements of the methodology were typologized principles, approaches, logic, actions, algorithms, typologies, methods, technologies, parameters, indicators, documents, document systems, audit and adjustment. The practical significance of the results obtained is determined by the possibility of their application in the practice of state regulation of the economy, allowing one to identify, evaluate and correct the implementation of the component-element composition of the methodology in modern practice of public administration.The research prospects are to study the possibilities of including new elements in the methodology, as well as complementing approaches and methods that allow for effective forecasting and planning in the post-industrial economy.

The article states that in our country considerable experience has been gained in forecasting and planning work, the formation of which is based on certain methodological approaches that undergo transformation at different historical stages. The purpose of the article is to assess the features of the development of the forecasting and planning methodology of the domestic national economy in various historical periods of time.Based on the analysis of historical facts, the author’s expert assessment and graphic modeling techniques, a cyclic model and a map for assessing the predictive development potential of the forecasting and planning methodology of the domestic national economy are developed, which differs by identifying the stages in the development of forecasted and planned work depending on the nature of the obligatory execution, the depth of the impact of forecasts and plans for economic development, resource methods, predictability of the future.The results of the study can be applied in the activities of government to improve the quality of forecasting and planning work, to determine the turning points of phase shifts in the development of the forecasting and planning methodology.
