Order dated July 10, 2025 No. 1853-r
A number of Russian regions have been given the opportunity to write off up to two-thirds of their budget loan debt in 2025, totaling 42.7 billion rubles. The order to this effect was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The debt will be written off for 25 regions. These are the Altai Republic, Buryatia, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Crimea, Mari El, North Ossetia, Tuva, Zabaikalsky, Perm and Khabarovsk Krais, Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kurgan, Novgorod, Omsk, Oryol, Pskov, Samara, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Yaroslavl and the Jewish Autonomous Regions.
The amount of the write-off will correspond to the amount of funds allocated by these regions for the implementation of measures in the sphere of housing and communal services, the resettlement of citizens from dilapidated housing, the renovation of public transport, the development of key settlements, the implementation of new investment projects, as well as for the recapitalization of industrial development funds, guarantee and microfinance organizations and support for companies that manage territories with preferential tax regimes.
In addition, the debt of regions included in the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone will be written off in the amount of funds allocated for the implementation of activities within the framework of master plans of cities located in these territories, and for entities with low budgetary security – funds allocated for the implementation of national projects.
Comment
“The funds remaining in the region will help speed up the solution of important tasks for our citizens, which will have a positive impact on the dynamics of both the regional and federal economies and, of course, the social sphere,” Mikhail Mishustin noted, commenting on the decision taken at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on July 14.
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. The President instructed the Government to develop them following his Address to the Federal Assembly in 2024, as well as following the meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects and the State Council commissions on socio-economic development areas.
