Order No. 2658-r of September 26, 2025
The draft federal budget for 2026 and the planning period of 2027 and 2028 has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order introducing it.
The key priorities of the main financial document are the achievement of national goals defined by the President, the fulfillment of social obligations to citizens, ensuring the country's defense and security needs, taking into account existing challenges, and the implementation of national projects.
The sustainability and balance of the draft budget proposed by the Government is an important factor for maintaining macroeconomic stability, increasing real wages, and increasing household incomes.
The draft budget is based on the baseline socioeconomic development forecast. It projects GDP growth of 1.3% in 2026 and an increase of almost 7% over three years, reaching approximately 276 trillion rubles in nominal terms.
Revenues in 2026 will amount to 40.3 trillion rubles, in 2027 – 42.9 trillion rubles, in 2028 – 45.9 trillion rubles.
Federal budget expenditures in 2026 are planned at 44.1 trillion rubles, in 2027 – 46 trillion rubles, and in 2028 – 49.4 trillion rubles.
The most important area of the budget is funding measures to improve demographics.
Thus, the "children's budget" for three years will exceed 10 trillion rubles. These funds will be used, among other things, to pay a unified child benefit to needy families, continue the maternity capital program with indexation to the inflation rate, improve housing for families with children by subsidizing the interest rate on family mortgages, and provide an annual family payment in the form of a partial reimbursement of personal income tax paid to citizens with two or more children—this payment will begin in 2026.
Other socially significant areas are also taken into account in the draft budget.
Specifically, to implement the national "Family" project, the new budget includes funds for the development of children's healthcare facilities, the infrastructure of perinatal centers, children's hospitals, and maternity hospitals. More than 94 billion rubles will be allocated for this purpose.
Funds are also allocated for the modernization and construction of schools and kindergartens: approximately 110 billion rubles will finance the construction of 150 schools to be built by 2030, and almost 300 billion rubles will be allocated for major school renovations.
The new three-year budget allocates over 900 billion rubles to implement the "Long and Active Life" national project. This includes funding for medications, including assistance to children with severe illnesses through the Circle of Kindness foundation, cardiovascular disease prevention, and the implementation of the 14-Nosology Program, which provides expensive medications to people suffering from severe illnesses.
The draft budget also takes into account the objective of ensuring technological leadership set for the Government by the President. Approximately 1.9 trillion rubles have been allocated to finance national projects aimed at achieving this goal.
Significant allocations are planned for infrastructure development.
The volume of funding for road infrastructure will exceed the level of previous years – 4.6 trillion rubles have been allocated for these purposes over three years.
The implementation of programs for creating a modern urban environment and the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas" will continue. Funding for these programs will amount to over 105 billion rubles and over 180 billion rubles, respectively, over three years.
Funding will be provided for the public utility infrastructure modernization program. 182.3 billion rubles are allocated over three years. Over 160 billion rubles are planned for the elimination of dilapidated housing over three years.
The new three-year budget allocates 202.6 billion rubles for the development of the airfield support network. At least 75 airfields will be reconstructed and built by 2030.
The main financial document takes into account measures aimed at maintaining the stability of regional budgets, stimulating infrastructure development, and ensuring the effective participation of regions in the implementation of national development goals.
The draft budget also provides financial support for the further implementation of individual development programs for a number of regions to increase their economic potential.
Draft budgets for extra-budgetary funds and a number of other documents of decisive importance for public finances have also been submitted to the State Duma.
The budget package, as in the previous year, was submitted to the lower house of parliament entirely electronically, a result of efforts to improve interaction between the Government Office and the State Duma.
