Russia’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) has published a draft resolution outlining key provisions for implementing the federal budget in 2026 and the planned period of 2027–2028.
This announcement was made yesterday, 28 October 2025.
“The draft Government Resolution clarifies approaches to executing the federal budget in the upcoming three-year period. The aim is to accelerate operations and improve the efficiency of using federal budget funds to achieve the priority goals of state policy in the coming period,” said Deputy Minister of Finance Nikolai Begchin.
The proposals clarify the provisions for 2026 that set deadlines for decisions on the use of federal budget funds reserved for the implementation of national projects. Such allocations must be distributed no later than 1 April 2026.
The draft resolution also extends the rules prohibiting the provision of subsidies from the federal budget to legal entities that have outstanding debts owed to the Russian Federation. Similar restrictions will apply to budgetary investments.
Additionally, the draft introduces rules for handling leftover budget funds from the previous financial year. For example, foreign currency balances as of 1 January 2026, may be reused for the same purposes they were originally allocated for in 2025.
If signed, the provisions of the resolution will take effect on 1 January 2026.
Earlier, the State Duma Committee on budget and taxes began reviewing the draft federal budget for 2026–2028.
