“Although our federal budget expenditures have increased, at the same time, the percent of execution is one of the smallest for all years: both in the overall execution of the budget, which amounted to 94.5%, and in the execution of the federal targeted investment program, which is also executed by 76 %, that is, lower than ever, ”Kudrin’s report on the results of an audit by RIA Novosti cites.
In December, Kudrin said that the Accounts Chamber predicts non-fulfillment of federal budget expenditures in 2019 in the amount of up to 1 trillion rubles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, noted that this has never happened.
The head of the Ministry of Finance of Russia Anton Siluanov explained the non-fulfillment of the country's budget expenditures in 2019 by tightening the rules to increase the efficiency of spending.
