Over the past 5 years, regional budget revenues have almost doubled and exceeded 20 trillion rubles due to the implementation of investment projects and the creation of modern enterprises, said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, speaking in the State Duma with a report.

In 2024, the government allocated over 3.5 trillion rubles to support Russian entities. These funds are aimed at solving social problems: opening hospitals and polyclinics, updating engineering communications. An additional 175 billion rubles have been allocated in the form of infrastructure budget loans for the construction of housing, kindergartens and schools, as well as for road improvements.

To reduce the burden on the regions, a mechanism has been defined for writing off two-thirds of the debt on budget loans, which amounts to more than 1 trillion rubles. Half of these funds will be used to modernize housing and communal services, and the rest will be used to relocate from dilapidated housing, purchase transport and solve other significant tasks.

The President approved the initiative to expand the list of regions that can write off loans and direct these funds to support their participants and the implementation of national projects. We are talking about subjects with a budget level of less than 85% of the national average. The relevant changes are being worked out and will be introduced into the regulations in the near future.
