In the Leningrad region planned the budget for 2027 with expenditures of 300.9 billion

Revenues of the regional budget of the Leningrad region in 2027 will amount to 289 billion rubles, and expenditures will reach 300.9 billion. Such figures at public hearings announced the head of the Finance Committee of the region Roman Markov, reports Online47.ru.

The bulk of revenues to the treasury will be provided by taxes and other fees - 267.9 billion rubles. The region will receive another 21.1 billion free of charge. The budget deficit is forecast at 11.9 billion, which is 4.4% of its own revenues. If we look at the consolidated budget of the region, its revenue is planned at 370.5 billion, and the expenditure is 385.7 billion. The difference between them will be 15.2 billion rubles.

Most of the funds were laid for the implementation of state programs - 273.3 billion rubles. The education sector is the leader in funding, it will be allocated 66.3 billion. 58.4 billion will be allocated for social support of citizens. Of the regional budget for health care will go 38.5 billion, but taking into account the funds of the MHI Fund, this amount will increase to 73.3 billion. Another 34.9 billion were allocated for national projects.

The main source of replenishment of the treasury remains the income tax of organizations. Next year it is planned to receive 104 billion, which is slightly higher than current figures. Revenues from personal income tax should amount to 93.8 billion, showing an increase of almost 10%.

The region’s debt burden will remain at a safe level – 5.4% of its own revenues. The authorities are not going to take expensive loans in the market without an urgent need.

“Unnecessarily, we will not raise money from the market at such high rates as we have today. We expect to manage temporarily free balances more intelligently and efficiently and receive additional income, rather than spend these funds, explained Roman Markov.
