We are talking about the country's budget for 2024 and the planning period of the next two years.
State Duma deputies have passed the first reading of the draft federal budget for the period from 2024 to 2026, the Duma reports.
Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma, noted that social obligations to Russians, as well as the tasks outlined by Russian President Vladimir Putin, were taken into account in the formation of the draft three-year budget.
"Revenues in 2024 will amount to 35 trillion rubles, in 2025 - 33.5 trillion rubles, in 2026 - 34.1 trillion rubles, expenditures are planned at the level of 36.6 trillion rubles, 34.4 trillion rubles - in 2025, 35.6 trillion rubles - in 2026," the Duma said.
Thus, the budget deficit is expected, but it will not exceed 1% of GDP.
Work on the bill will continue. The second reading in the State Duma is scheduled for November 15.
During the plenary session of the State Duma, which lasted seven hours on October 26, Volodin criticized deputies who left the discussion of the draft budget.
