History

2024:10 most subsidized regions of Russia

In 2024, in terms of the degree of subsidization of the regional budget in Russia, the Republic of Tuva was in the lead, where the indicator approached 80%. This is stated in the materials with which TAdviser got acquainted at the end of November 2025

As reported on the website of the Ministry of Finance, in 2024, the federal budget provided for subsidies to equalize the budgetary provision of the regions in the amount of almost 1.04 trillion rubles. The largest share of gratuitous transfers in financing the expenses of the regional consolidated budget was recorded in the Republic of Tuva - 79%. Chechnya is in second place with 78.8%, and Ingushetia closes the top three with 78%. In addition, the top ten includes:

• Kherson region - 76.8%;
• Dagestan - 72.8%;
• Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) - 70.9%;
• Karachay-Cherkessia - 68.2%;
• Zaporizhzhya region - 67.3%;
• Altai - 67.1%;
• Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) - 65.4%.

At the same time, the lowest indicators were noted in Moscow, Sakhalin Region and Tyumen Region - 8.5%, 8.6% and 10.7%, respectively.

Subsidies are interbudgetary transfers provided on a gratuitous and irrevocable basis without establishing the directions of their use. Subsidies are provided to the regions to equalize budgetary provision. This is necessary to form equal opportunities within the framework of fulfilling social obligations and financing public services such as health, education and social protection. The allocated funds allow the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to cover expenses that exceed their own income. The state exercises control over how the regions spend the funds received: if the region uses the money inefficiently or violates the established procedure for spending it, in the future it may face sanctions.^[1]"
