Introduction to the Russian Budget System

This video provides an overview of the budget system in Russia, including its structure and complexity.

The Federal Budget

• The federal budget is composed of three budgets: the federal budget and two state extra-budgetary funds.

• These extra-budgetary funds are separate from the federal budget and have their own budgets. They are subject to the same rules as the federal budget.

• The pension fund is one example of an extra-budgetary fund that contributes significantly to healthcare spending.

Regional Budgets

• Regional budgets consist of a regional government's budget, a territorial mandatory medical insurance fund, and municipal budgets.

• Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Sevastopol have both regional and municipal budgets.

• In 2019, 270,000 rubles per capita were allocated to Russia's budget system.

Consolidated Budget

• Consolidated budgets combine all regional and municipal budgets into one consolidated regional budget.

• The consolidated federal budget includes all federal subjects' consolidated budgets.

Conclusion

The Russian budget system is complex due to its many levels and types of funding sources. It includes multiple extra-budgetary funds that contribute significantly to healthcare spending.

Overview of Russia's Budget System

This section provides an overview of Russia's budget system and the movement of money between its elements.

Classification and Income

• The total income of Russia's budget system per capita is 265,000 rubles, not 270,000 rubles as previously stated.

Movement of Money

• In 2019, the federal budget transferred intergovernmental transfers to extrabudgetary funds amounting to 3.43 trillion rubles. Of this amount, the extrabudgetary funds received six billion rubles.

• The federal budget also provided financial assistance to Russian regions in the amount of 2.29 trillion rubles, while receiving 43 billion rubles from them.

• Territorial funds for mandatory medical insurance directed two trillion one hundred billion rubles towards budget funds and one billion rubles towards regional budgets. Consolidated regional budgets allocated 116 billion rubles to real compulsory medical insurance funds.

• Intergovernmental settlements between Russian regions amounted to a total sum of 65 billion rubles, while those between territorial funds for mandatory medical insurance were worth a total sum of 100 billion rubles.

Complexity

• The movement of money within Russia's budget system is complex and convoluted; however, if extrabudgetary funds are ever included in the budget, it will become simpler and more logical.
