The central bank called the difference between the announced budget forecasts and the July forecast meaningless

The recently announced budget forecasts are not much different from the preconditions set by the Central Bank of Russia when formulating the medium-term forecast in July, said Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Alexei Zabotkin. "It is, let's say, not much different from the path we voiced for the structural primary deficit as a precondition for the meeting in July," Zabotkin told reporters on the sidelines of the Moscow Financial Forum, referring to budget deficits The new ones for 2026 and 2027.
