Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko proposed discussing the issue of consolidating interbudgetary transfers and giving more freedom to regional authorities in this matter.
“Another pressing topic is the consolidation of interbudgetary transfers and greater freedom for regional authorities. We are all doing a common cause. There are national development goals and, of course, we need specific indicators of their implementation. But not thousands, as now. This complicates and slows down the work of the regions,” the politician said at parliamentary hearings on the draft budget of the Russian Federation for 2027-2029.
