The total budget revenue will be 267.9 billion rubles. Of these, 21.1 billion rubles will be received in the form of gratuitous receipts. The budget deficit of the region is estimated at 11.9 billion rubles, which is 4.4% of income received independently. The consolidated budget of the region for 2027 provides for revenues of 370.5 billion rubles and expenditures of 385.7 billion rubles, which gives a deficit of 15.2 billion rubles or 4.3% of its own income.

The regional budget for state programs provides for 273.3 billion rubles. Main articles: education - 66.3 billion rubles, social support - 58.4 billion rubles and health care - 73.3 billion rubles (including the territorial fund of the MHI).

34.9 billion rubles were allocated for national projects. The main source of income of the regional budget is the corporate profit tax, which in 2027 will amount to 104 billion rubles, which is 1.1% more than the current forecast. Revenues from personal income tax are expected at 93.8 billion rubles, which is 9.8% higher than in 2026.

The regional authorities intend to keep public debt within 5.4% of their revenues to ensure financial stability. Commercial loans will only be made when absolutely necessary.

“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, concluded Roman Markov.
