The head of government called unacceptable situations where at the end of the year unspent funds remain in the budget, and instructed to analyze the reasons for the formation of the balances of contracted expenses in 2019.

“It is necessary to conduct an audit of similar spending plans for 2020 and redirect funds to more important projects that are indicated in the president’s message to the Federal Assembly,” RIA Novosti quoted Mishustin as saying.

Earlier, he ordered by February 20 to submit proposals on the implementation of national projects for the period until 2024 and prepare amendments to the law on the federal budget.
