Abramov's regional requests Wages and timely transfers

About this event

Council debates regional budget relief

Oct 5

Abramov says regional wage coefficients increase the cost of minimum-wage rises: twenty-eight regions apply coefficients but eighteen receive wage grants. He seeks revised subsidy methodology. He contrasts earlier project-allocation information with missing figures in this draft and asks for early co-financing amounts so regions avoid rushing after the second reading. No new methodology or timetable is adopted in his intervention.

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.
