Matvienko stated the absence of simple budgets in modern conditions

There are no simple budgets in modern conditions, said Federation Council Chairman Valentina Matvienko at a hearing on the parameters of the draft federal budget in the upper house of the Russian parliament. TASS reports this.

As announced by the Ministry of Finance, the head of the department, Anton Siluanov, will take part in the event. Matvienko thanked the ministry and the financial and economic bloc of the government for the thorough work carried out “in extremely difficult conditions,” noting, among other things, their attentive attitude to the senators’ proposals.

“Challenges remain related to turbulence in the global economy, the changing structure of global markets, illegal sanctions, and so on. But even in these realities, the Ministry of Finance manages to find the necessary balance and form a budget, based, first of all, on the strategic goals and national priorities identified by the head of state,” she emphasized.
