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.

The final stage of the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad has begun.

The opening ceremony of the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad took place at the Siberian Federal University in Krasnoyarsk. Approximately 600 schoolchildren and students from 40 countries became finalists in 2025. Bangladesh, Jordan, Madagascar, Turkey, and Uruguay joined the competition for the first time.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Olympiad participants: "It's gratifying that the Olympiad has become part of the systemic, multifaceted efforts of the state and society to improve access to modern knowledge and to unlock the creative potential and talents of the younger generation—those who are committed to professional success and creative work. Today, we can confidently say that this project has been a success. Each year, it expands its geographic reach and representation, serving as a key event in the large-scale International Movement for Financial Security."

"I welcome guests and participants from 40 countries. This is truly a powerful international movement, uniting over 6 million participants. It's also very important that our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, noted that the Olympiad is an excellent opportunity to showcase our capabilities and talents to you, our youth. Incidentally, this is one of Russia's national development goals. I am confident that it largely aligns with the goals of your countries. For the first time, the International Financial Security Olympiad is being held in the very center of our country, in hospitable Krasnoyarsk, and at the Siberian Federal University. The organizers have prepared excellent conditions for you, engaging competitions and tasks, and a comprehensive cultural, entertainment, and educational program. I am confident that you will succeed and have a great time, but most importantly, you will make new friends and discover new opportunities. On the instructions of our President, I declare the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad open," Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko addressed the participants.

Anatoly Seryshev, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Siberian Federal District, addressed the finalists and guests at the opening ceremony: "I am very pleased that the Olympiad is growing in scale, bringing in new participants from various countries—this is one of its most important goals today. This is the first time it has been held in Siberia. This is a great honor and responsibility for us. I wish all Olympiad participants the best possible use of their knowledge and skills during the competition, achieving high results, and, most importantly, finding new friends and like-minded people."

Winners and prize winners of the Olympiad receive advantages when applying to the International Network Institute for AML/CFT undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs in accordance with the benefits of Level I Olympiads, as well as the opportunity to intern at Rosfinmonitoring and other organizations.

In his speech, Yuri Chikhanchin, Director of Rosfinmonitoring and Deputy Chairman of the Olympiad Organizing Committee, noted the importance of the Olympiad as a platform for building a community of future professionals to effectively respond to current challenges: "Threats to financial security, including transnational crime, cybercrime, terrorism, droppering, and others, are international in nature and require the coordinated efforts of the entire global community. To more effectively address these issues now and, most importantly, in the future, large-scale educational initiatives have been launched. This is how our Olympiad was born – more than five years ago. Seven countries participated back then, and the geography has expanded each year – reaching 40 countries today."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed the finalists with a welcoming address: "I am confident that the competition, as always, will be held in a spirit of fair competition, will provide additional impetus to the development of international cooperation in the area of financial security, and will facilitate the establishment of mutually beneficial youth contacts. The cultural program will also allow foreign participants to enrich their knowledge of our great country."

Kanat Asangulov, Chairman of the State Financial Intelligence Service under the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic, also addressed the participants. He noted that the Olympiad is not just an intellectual competition, but a space where science and practice meet, where professional experience combines with the energy of youth.

Speaking at the ceremony, Su Lei, Counselor of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, emphasized the consistent development of Russian-Chinese relations, in which the area of financial security is acquiring new significance and becoming a platform for cooperation.

Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov spoke about the region's readiness to host this large-scale international event and emphasized the importance of dialogue on financial security. "It's no coincidence that Krasnoyarsk Krai has become the Olympiad's host. Our goal is to ensure that guests take home not only the results of their intellectual struggle but also a wealth of impressions of Siberia. To this end, we've prepared a rich program—from excursions through the picturesque surroundings to unique cultural events. And, of course, we have much to share: we're actively implementing our experience in financial education, which has been recognized at the federal level, and we're ready to share it with our colleagues."

Dmitry Chernyshenko, Anatoly Seryshev, Yuri Chikhanchin, and Mikhail Kotyukov also assessed the exhibition of the Olympiad's strategic partners and answered media questions.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that a great deal of work had gone into the preparation for holding the fifth anniversary Olympiad in hospitable Krasnoyarsk. He commended the work of Elena Vladimirovna Shmeleva and Yuri Anatolyevich Chikhanchin, with whom he launched the project.

More than 60 thousand people took part in the Olympic stages.

Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that financial intelligence officers from more than 15 countries arrived in Krasnoyarsk not only to support our students but also to serve as their mentors: "Those who will inspire them to protect the financial future of our countries."

The International Financial Security Olympiad has been held since 2021 under the auspices of the President of Russia and the Government.
