俄羅斯富豪在1990年代憑藉與國家的關係發家致富,克里姆林宮認為他們有責任為國庫捐款。今年3月普廷與多位商業大亨舉行閉門會議後,隨即出現此類「自願捐贈」。
俄羅斯國家預算文件顯示,俄國最富有的一群人今年3月與總統普廷(Vladimir Putin)見面後,「自願」捐出了一筆龐大款項,但俄國2026年的預算赤字依然居高不下。
《路透》報導,普廷參與的這場閉門會議有多位俄羅斯商業大亨出席,其中大多數人都被西方國家制裁。克里姆林宮表示,會中一位未具名企業家提議,由於許多俄羅斯富豪在1990年代憑藉與國家的關係發家致富,如今他們有責任為國庫慷慨解囊。
克里姆林宮強調,其中一名與會者會後主動提出他要捐出「非常大的一筆資金」,普廷也樂見其成。
克里姆林宮並未公開完整的與會者名單。普廷則在今年9月說明,富豪們自願捐出的款項高達「數千億」盧布。
《路透》指出,這筆捐款收益在預算文件中被標示為「自願捐贈」,金額甚至超過了企業暴利稅(windfall tax)。
俄羅斯今年的預算赤字估計會達到國內生產毛額(GDP)的3.2%,換算約7.3兆盧布(約合新台幣2.7兆)。若是少了這筆迄今已達4710億盧布(約合新台幣1760億)的「自願捐款」,赤字恐怕會攀升到GDP的3.4%。
