The Prime Minister instructed to accelerate the work on amendments to the budget. He said that the deputies should consider the new amendments to the budget as soon as possible, in the spring session.

The government has already prepared the main part of the amendments, Mishustin said. At a meeting with the participation of the President, the main parameters of the document were discussed and approved. The Ministry of Finance has begun to form the final version of the document, which will be submitted to the State Duma in the near future.

The Prime Minister noted that the budget should take into account the current economic situation, as well as the tasks set by the President in the Address to the Federal Assembly. First of all, the budget should provide the necessary resources to support citizens, businesses and the economy as a whole. The main attention should be paid to the social sphere, primarily to the support of families with children and low-income citizens.
