"If we talk about revenues to the budget system in general, then it is almost 27 trillion rubles, or 26.9 trillion to be precise. Our growth is 31%, and in absolute terms it is 6.4 trillion rubles," Egorov said.
He also noted that the volume of oil and gas budget revenues increased by 43.4% in the first half of the year. "Oil and gas revenues look very good, which, of course, affects federal budget revenues," he said.
Egorov added that the plan for revenues of the Russian budget will be fulfilled in 2024. "By the end of the year, we predict that the budget will be fulfilled. We do not see any significant problems here," Egorov said.
