The expert commission of the Tula City Duma has completed the inspection of the draft amendments to the budget of the municipality of Tula for the next three years. Based on the results of the analysis, the document received a positive conclusion.

According to the draft, the main parameters of the budget for 2026-2028 remain unchanged. Total revenues for 2026 are planned at 37.5 billion rubles, of which 21.9 billion will be tax and non-tax revenues, and 15.5 billion will be gratuitous revenues.

Budget expenditures for 2026 were approved in the amount of 38.5 billion rubles. The largest share in the structure of expenditures is education – 18.8 billion rubles. Significant funds are also allocated to: (a) housing and communal services - 7.3 billion rubles; (b) the national economy - 5.5 billion rubles; (c) national issues - 3.5 billion rubles.

For the planning period 2027-2028, a gradual increase in the revenue and expenditure part of the budget is projected. Special attention is paid to optimization of municipal debt management – it is planned to increase the volume of borrowing by 5 billion rubles in 2026 for more efficient use of credit lines.

The budget deficit is planned to be covered by budget loans and balances on accounts. In 2026, it will amount to 1.5 billion rubles, gradually decreasing to 0.4 billion rubles by 2028.

The expert commission confirmed the compliance of the draft decision with the requirements of the budget legislation, which will ensure stable financial development of the city in the medium term.
