Direct Speech of the Chairman of the Supreme Council

We may be on the verge of collapse of the utility sector, which will lead to disastrous consequences if we do not pay utility bills. We all want our homes to have light, heat, water, and sewerage. I would like in this regard to thank the citizens who pay for utilities and I urge those who have debts to pay off their debts so that the utilities sector continues to function effectively.

We managed to make informed management decisions, which we are implementing today. It is possible now to support enterprises in the real sector of the economy, accordingly, not significantly reduce budget revenues at various levels and fulfill social obligations in full and on time thanks to many decisions taken.

It will be necessary in the autumn session to make serious decisions on issues related to filling the state budget, taking into account the situation in both foreign policy and the economy. A very important task for the state and all government bodies: to ensure that all social obligations by the state are fulfilled in 2024 in full and on time.

The deputies were satisfied with the activity of the Government. The one who does not work is not mistaken. Deputies received answers to all their questions. The interaction between the Supreme Council and the Government has reached a new level from 2022. There are also problems. Headed by the PMR President it must be solved jointly with the Government. The tasks have been set, and we will solve them together in 2023-2024.

The PMR Supreme Council has many plans for 2023. Starting from international activities, the development of inter-parliamentary relations and ending with the decision to support and develop the real sector of the economy, investment policy and improve the welfare of citizens in terms of increasing social benefits. It is important to understand that simply declaring a decision is not enough, it is necessary to find financial support for the implementation of this or that decision.

The law on the Voter Mandate Fund was adopted by parliamentarians in 2008, but with the support of еру President Vadim Nikolaevich Krasnoselsky the law began to work only in 2018. There are a lot of different problems in the constituencies, therefore the Voter Mandate Fund is a very effective mechanism for solving urgent issues. It must continue to work, be filled with financial resources and close pain points.

We set the consideration and adoption of the law on the republican budget for 2022 as one of the main tasks for the autumn session, the main parameters of which will be balance and availability of financial sources. The Capital Investment Fund should be preserved, which will be mainly aimed at the health care system, including the provision of medical equipment and the repair of medical facilities.

We are a social state, and it is necessary to improve the standard of living of our citizens, despite the difficulties with the budget. We have certain shortfalls in the revenue side of the budget. This is due to the pandemic and the global economy. The state bears the costs of treating patients and supporting physicians. Additional costs are associated with the restoration of the agro-industrial complex and the fight against the pandemic.

The Supreme Council and the Government in the sphere of social policy within the limits set in the 2021 budget will have to develop a mechanism for a phased increase in salaries and pensions. 160 million rubles was reserved, and within these limits we must develop a mechanism for increasing. A working group has already been created for this with representatives of the Supreme Council and the Government.

We have increased the volume of social obligations over the past 3-4 years, while maintaining the obligations of previous years. This volume is measured in hundreds of millions. Social obligations need to be financed further. To do everything so, that the revenue side of the budget only increases. It is important for this to work together and adopt the necessary laws for development of the real sector of the economy and the budget.
