Rates for housing and communal services affect the level of inflation and consequently affect the expenses of the budget system, believes Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov. "The discussion (within the State Duma - if) on rates in housing and community services was very important. I want to say that tariffs directly affect inflation. If we talk about the budget, a percentage point of inflation, taking into account the indexation of everything that our legislation determines, in the entire budget system it is about 400 billion rubles of additional spending in the state budget in the draft," said Duma. 2027-2029 years. Another effect is indirect, since due to the high level of inflation, one of the reasons for which is the increased linking of rates in housing and communal services, the Central Bank of Russia does not lower the interest rate. “I am not saying that 1 p.p. The key rate, on which the interest expenses greatly depend, gives 300-350 billion rubles," Siluanov noted. The lower the rates will be, the lower the inflation will be, and accordingly, the expenses in the budget system will be "more compact, more focused", added the head of the Ministry of Finance.
