Yakutia Finance Ministry: Socially Important Funding to Be Clarified by Second Reading

Acting Finance Minister of Yakutia Ivan Alekseyev said the republic's draft budget for 2027 and the planning period is still under discussion and is not final. Funds will be mandatorily redistributed and included in the republic's budget by the second reading, once updated data on federal transfers is received.

Alekseyev said the process reflects budget procedures and the need to wait for confirmation of federal funds, describing the document under consideration as a working, preliminary draft in a multi-stage process. Air connectivity is a major focus: 565.1 million rubles were allocated in 2026 for subsidising socially significant interregional and intra-ulus flights, but the 2027 transport programme includes no such funds in the first reading and the document will be refined by the second reading. For housing for orphans, 549.3 million rubles were provided in 2026, including 175.5 million rubles from the federal budget and 373.8 million from the republican budget. The government continues working with the federal centre to confirm funding.
