Martynov seeks stable aid Regional wages and cash gaps

Oct 5

Martynov says stable regional budgets require predictable federal support. He proposes preserving aid for several years for regions growing their tax base, more grants for public-sector pay as wage requirements rise and treasury overdrafts to bridge cash gaps. He thanks the ministry for earlier loan and repayment-relief mechanisms. Matviyenko welcomes his proposals; no increase or new overdraft is enacted.

Regional participants seek predictable and larger aid, inflation-adjusted grants, broader treasury loans, easier deficit/debt rules and further write-offs. Matviyenko urges debt monitoring and fair funding of regional responsibilities; Teksler, Martynov, Shumkov, Korolyov, Chibis, Khotsenko and Abramov provide regional experience and proposals. Siluanov describes existing transfers, debt relief and loans, cautions against commercial debt and insists on balanced budgets and recovery programmes, offering specified compromises and resource-dependent support. This connected hearing debate does not adopt the requested blanket relaxation or debt cancellation.
