The State Duma adopted in first reading the federal budget for 2027 and the planning period 2028-2029 Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Vologda region Sergey Sorokin noted that the main priority of the document is to support citizens and fulfill the social obligations of the state. Significant funds are available to support families with children. Over three years, 10 trillion rubles will be allocated for these purposes. Every year about 8 million people will receive a single benefit, and maternity capital is given to more than 2 million families. The implementation of housing programs for families with children will also continue. From 2027, the minimum wage will increase to almost 29 thousand rubles. According to the President's order, by 2030 it is planned to raise the minimum wage to 35 thousand rubles - this will help increase the income of working citizens. In addition, linkage to pension, birth capital as well as payments to veterans and people with disabilities is provided. 3.6 trillion rubles from the federal budget are allocated to the development of education and health in 2027. The funds will be used to build and renovate schools and kindergartens, modernize universities, develop medical care, including increasing funding for cancer treatment. "The federal budget determines the financial basis for the development of the regions. The funds provided in it determine the ability of the subjects to update infrastructures and implement programs that directly affect people's quality of life. It is important that federal decisions help the regions to consistently solve these problems and respond to residents' requests," commented Sergey Sorokin.
