Mari El budget for 2026 revised
At the twentieth session of the Mari El State Assembly, deputies approved adjustments to the republican budget for 2026 and the planning period 2027-2028.
The main priority of the updated financial document was social obligations to citizens and comprehensive support for participants in a special military operation.
As reported by the Minister of Finance of the Republic Alexei Toroschin, the forecast income for 2026 decreased by 2.01 billion rubles. This decision is dictated by the actual indicators of tax collection (personal income tax, profit, excise) for the nine months of this year.
Despite the decrease in revenues, total budget expenditures will grow by 1.03 billion rubles. This growth was ensured by the use of target balances in a single account (including the Road Fund) and an increase in gratuitous revenues from the federal center by 92.8 million rubles.
A significant part of the redistributed funds was allocated to the needs of the SVO: an additional 688.5 million rubles were reserved. To balance the budget, unfulfilled obligations were reduced and savings were achieved in a number of items, while financial assistance to municipalities was reduced owing to actual savings.
Taking into account all changes, the budget deficit was increased to 6.41 billion rubles. This indicator, as well as the growth of the national debt, does not exceed the limit values established by the Budget Code of the Russian Federation and agreements with the Ministry of Finance of Russia.
