Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech at the first meeting of the State Duma of the IX convocation said that the country's authorities must fulfill social obligations to citizens. The financing of all projects and programs should be laid in the federal budget, which will be considered in the near future by deputies.

“These are the most important documents, where resources should be clearly calculated and our capabilities balanced based on current priorities and strategic goals. While maintaining macroeconomic stability, it is necessary to finance all national projects and federal programs, Putin said.

He said the budget should be balanced and realistic. He also urged MPs to "exclude any populism that destroys us from within" when considering the document. “Sufficient funds should be allocated for solving extremely important demographic problems, improving housing conditions, and the well-being of Russian families, primarily those raising children,” the head of state added.

The federal budget for 2027-2029 should be adopted by December 1. The draft document is being prepared by the government. Until October 1, it is obliged to submit it to the State Duma, where deputies will begin to consider the draft. At this stage, they will be able to amend the planned budget.
