The financial plan for Belarus for 2027 increases social spending by 11–12%. This was reported by BELTA by Vasiliy Panasyuk, head of the budget committee of the House of Representatives.

Expenditure exceeds revenue by 1.9 billion

Revenue is 58.9 billion, expenditure is 60.8 billion rubles. The budget is brought to a deficit. In 2027 the gap will be smaller than expected in the current year: the economy is working successfully and creates a base for taxes.

More money will be directed to payroll in the budget sector. Specifically — junior medical staff and preschool staff. Also, family‑capital payments, assistance to large families and families with children, support for housing construction are planned. The investment program includes hospitals, schools and kindergartens. Separate funds are allocated for science and innovation.

Panasyuk emphasized:

The budget has a clear social orientation.

The agri‑sector will receive more for fertilizers

Targeted allocations for agriculture will rise by more than 21% taking into account consolidated regional budgets. Additional money will go to mineral fertilizers. Panasyuk noted: food exports bring roughly the same amounts that ten years ago were provided by oil refining.

Taxes and excises will be updated

Taxes, which are calculated in Belarusian rubles, have been updated for inflation. Excise rates have been differentiated, including by international agreements. The road fund will receive more allocations for the repair of republican highways.

Will the state fulfill its promises? Panasyuk assures: all social obligations
