Siluanov said that the budget of Russia at the end of 2022 will be executed with a deficit

“I think that this year there will be a budget deficit of about 1% of GDP,” RIA Novosti quotes Siluanov.

He recalled that in 2022, the Russian authorities decided to defer insurance premiums in a number of industries and areas, for which about 1.6 trillion rubles were spent.

Earlier, the Central Bank said that the Russian banking system had returned to a sustainable liquidity surplus.
