The State Duma adopted in first reading the draft budget for the years 2027-2029. According to the draft budget, revenues in 2027 are planned at 43.3 trillion rubles, expenses - 48.8 trillion rubles. Thus, the deficit is expected to be 5.5 trillion rubles. A number of analysts look at this figure with skepticism: the experience of the last few years shows that the actual budget expenditures are about 10% higher than the initial announcement. However, by 2029 the Ministry of Finance plans to reach a structural deficit of zero.
