The government allowed the Ministry of Finance to increase the volume of the country's domestic loan in 2026 by up to 1 trillion rubles over the originally approved plan. The corresponding arrangement was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishutin. As reported by the Ministry of Finance, initially the volume of the domestic loan is planned at about 5.5 trillion rubles. Given the approval given, it could reach 6.5 trillion rubles. The document allows exceeding the established parameters of the borrower's plan and the upper limit of the local public debt. At the same time, the approval does not mean that all additional volumes will necessarily be drawn. The expansion of lending opportunities is taking place against the background of the federal budget deficit. In January-September, it reached 5.186 trillion rubles, or 2.2% of GDP, and the annual forecast of the Ministry of Finance was at the level of 3.2% of GDP. @KotElviry.
