It is projected to grow by 4 trillion in its revenue, it is planned to provide financial resources for new national projects that will be launched next year and significant funds are provided for their implementation - this is more than 40 trillion rubles in the six-year horizon. Federal funding has been almost doubled compared to existing national projects. The issue of balancing regional budgets and the development of inter-budgetary relations also remains in the focus of attention of the federal government. In order to ensure transparency and convenience of work, indicators characterizing the volume of budget allocations allocated for the provision of all types of inter-budgetary transfers are allocated in a separate appendix to the law on the federal budget. In total, about 222 interbudget transfers will be distributed in 2025, including 8 grants, 168 subsidies, 32 subventions, 14 other interbudget transfers. In subsequent years, 202 and 201 interbudget transfers, respectively, including 8 grants annually, 152 and 151 subsidies respectively, 33 subventions and 9 other interbudget transfers annually. The article considers the main types and volumes of inter-budgetary transfers to the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for 2025–2027, and concludes on the sufficiency and effectiveness of financial support provided for the sustainability of regional budgets and the achievement of the goal of reducing regional differentiation.
