OREANDA-NEWS There is an obvious trend in Russia to reduce inflation, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council (VEEC) in Bishkek. 

"This is important for all our countries, because macroeconomic indicators in the Russian economy somehow affect all the economies of our countries," the president said.

Putin recalled that the deficit of the federal budget of Russia in 2022 will be 2 percent. Еxpressed confidence in 2024 will decrease to 1.4 percent, and by 2025 it will already reach 0.7 percent. 

Meanwhile, in November, the oil and gas revenues of the Russian budget, including additional ones, once again turned out to be lower than expected — the real indicator diverged from the forecast by 90.2 billion rubles. In October, the deviation from the expected income level amounted to 7.5 billion rubles.
