Today’s video conference led by Kuban Governor Veniamin Kondratiev covered issues of arrangements for the balance of Krasnodar Region’s budget and budgets of local municipalities, spending optimization and budgetary arrears diminishing. Head of Krasnodar Vladimir Evlanov also took part in the conference work.
— Last year taxes and revenues were higher. Although one can say about general recessionary tendencies we are to see points of growth and find out necessary mechanisms to keep our economy progressing and maintain the usual conditions of our citizens’ life. We must find sound solutions! While everything is tightening, social programs, guarantees and payments must be completely maintained. Healthcare, education and children are our future and we will not save on them. Our goal is to keep the economy at the same level and focus on people’s daily living problems. All the decisions have to be balanced, — Veniamin Kondratiev said.

During the conference Veniamin Kondratiev set a number of priority tasks aimed at the ensuring of well-balanced regional budget and budgets of municipalities. He gave order to analyze and optimize costs on maintenance of government staff, nearly 6000 regional and municipal institutions, actively to involve off-budget sources of financing, explore the possibility to extend an array of municipal formations of the region, firstly — small villages, which are not able to maintain their own administrative structures.
