Budgetary Overview of National Projects: Evaluation of Funds Allocation by Finance Ministry
Freshened Up Take:
Lookie here! The ministry's latest lowdown confirms a chunky 52.5% of the grand ol' budget has already been dumped into the "Human Resources" national project. The "Family", "Longevity", and "Eco-Welfare" projects are scootin' along at a decent 40% or better (42%, 40.6%, and 43.9%, respectively).
The Ministry of Finance stands firm that a whopping 5.9 trillion rubles will be set aside for these national projects by 2025. The "Family" project, already kickin' off in Russia this very year, is slated to grab the biggest slice of the pie at 2.8 trillion rubles. Its mission? To keep our nation thriving and families flourishing. By 2030, a mouth-watering 17 trillion rubles will be on the table for this baby.
Rolling into Putin's 2024 Federal Assembly address, he gave a solid thumbs-up to the idea of a big family life being the norm in Russia. Just as the year was drawing to a close, he spilled the beans on Russia's current fertility rate sittin' pretty at 1.4. His challenge? Up that figure to 2.1 and beyond. In late March, the Russian government gave the green light to a game plan for implementing family and demographic strategies and uplifting large families in Russia up until 2036.

Bonus Bits:
- Babies, Benefits, & Bread: Russia's been dialing up the support for families with kids, with the government bumpin' up benefits, allowances, pensions, and maternity capital funds from the ole federal budget.
- The Great Legal Shuffle: New laws and regulations have been dropped to back families, from the indexation of pensions for ol'-time workers to other socially significant pieces of legislation.
- The Long Game: Russia's got a long-term financial game plan all the way out to 2030 that includes some tasty budget bucks for projects designed to power national goals, like decreasing the non-oil and gas deficit and whippin' up more revenue from non-energy sources.
- Babies, Bats, and Big Bucks: While the nitty-gritty about the 'Family' national project ain't available in this search, Russia's been workin' hard to bolster those pesky fertility rates by offerin' up a slew of social and economical incentives, like the maternity capital program, which dishes out some cold hard cash to families with kids.
Science and health-and-wellness initiatives could benefit from the increased budget allocations for national projects, as an emphasis on family growth and longevity may require resources for research on reproductive health, family planning, and aging.
Finance and business sectors may also see growth due to the significant investments earmarked for these national projects, particularly in the "Family" project, which aims to boost the economy by supporting families and promoting a higher birth rate.
