According to him, the coronavirus pandemic has actually slowed down the rate of economic growth, reduced revenues at all levels of the budget and caused significant damage to a large number of citizens and companies.
At the same time, the head of government assured that the macroeconomic stability and revenues that were previously collected at all levels of the budget allow Russia "to feel very comfortable and stable."
“The National Welfare Fund, I think, by the end of the year will definitely not be less than 8 trillion rubles,” Mishustin said.
He also noted that Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves are stable and currently amount to more than $ 570 billion.
“Therefore, there is no need to worry here, there are sufficient funds to ensure all strategic national goals ... and national projects,” he said.
Earlier, Mishustin called the fight against poverty the top priority of the Cabinet.
