Kamchatka Passes 2026–2028 Budget as Regions Set Deficit Plans Under Tight Federal Finances

Regional deficit planning reflects reliance on national‑project transfers under elevated federal defense outlays.

Overview

  • Kamchatka’s legislature approved the 2026–2028 budget with 2026 revenues at 133.6061 billion rubles, expenditures at 140.1913 billion, and a 6.5852 billion gap, with 43% directed to social needs.
  • Key Kamchatka allocations for 2026 include 24.3 billion rubles for education, 20.9 billion for social protection, 9.3 billion for healthcare with about 1.4 billion for medicines, roughly 8 billion for family support, and 1.2 billion for housing resettlement.
  • Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, and Udmurtia plan 2026 shortfalls of about 13.8 billion, 22.5 billion, and 4.5 billion rubles respectively, with budget bills moving through first readings in Bashkortostan and Udmurtia.
  • Tatarstan’s budget revenues rise by 54 billion rubles chiefly from federal transfers tied to national projects such as roads, social programs, and healthcare, according to committee chair Leonid Yakunin.
  • The federal draft for 2026 targets a 3.79 trillion‑ruble deficit (about 1.6% of GDP) and sets 12.93 trillion rubles for defense, exceeding total planned social spending of 10.8 trillion.
