Comment
From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, August 28, 2025
Commenting on the decision taken at a Government meeting on August 28, Mikhail Mishustin noted that these republics and regions had previously allocated funds for the implementation of national projects, the development of key settlements, the replacement of elevator equipment in apartment buildings, as well as for the improvement of housing and communal services, the renewal of urban transport, and the resettlement of citizens from dilapidated housing.
“This decision will help ease the debt burden on the budget system of these regions and will have a positive impact on improving the quality of life of people,” the Prime Minister emphasized.
The rules for writing off regions' debt on budget loans and the list of areas for spending the released funds were approved by the Government in February 2025. This work was carried out on the instructions of the President, which the head of state gave following his Address to the Federal Assembly in 2024.
