Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin proposed reviewing the issue of postponing the deadlines for regional debt repayment on budgetary loans.

Consensus

Sergey Sobyanin proposed delaying the repayment of budgetary loans by Russian regions.
The proposed delay is intended to cover the period 2027–2029 and extend it to 2031–2023.
The initiative aims to preserve approximately 300 billion rubles in regional budget funds.
The funds would be redirected toward investments and priority tasks.
The proposal was made during a ceremony in Moscow on July 13.
The initiative does not apply to Moscow.
Sobyanin emphasized that regional budgets are under strain due to uneven revenue and deficit conditions.
The federal government is currently discussing the proposal with the government of Russia.
Regional leaders, including those from Tver and Belgorod regions, acknowledged the financial challenges.
