Yesterday, the Head of Bashkortostan Radiy Khabirov announced a significant revision of the republican budget due to the coronavirus threat.
“The budget will be seriously reviewed,” Radiy Khabirov underlined. “This means that we will stop first of all the construction of many social facilities from the republican targeted investment program. It is absolutely certain that we will channel part of the funds to support the economy and solve the social problems that may appear. Therefore, we must treat this with understanding, as it is just a short break”.
