Estimates of the parameters envisaged by the draft law are also based on the indicators of the preliminary evaluation of the execution of the federal budget as on September 1, 2005, and the forecast of the execution of the federal budget by the end of this year and take into account all changes occurred in January through August of 2005 as reflected in the consolidated revenues and expenditures of the budget for year 2005 over this period.

In 2005, revenues of the federal budget were evaluated on the basis of the updated forecast of the major parameters of social and economic development of the Russian Federation in the current year, actual revenues of the federal budget in January through August of this year, and expected assessment of revenues due in September through December of this year. The amount of revenues of the federal budget in 2005 is planned at Rub. 4 979.8 billion, what should be by Rub. 1 653.7 billion, or 49.7 per cent above the indicators approved by the law on budget. Without UST and financial resources due to the RF Stabilization Fund, according to the preliminary estimates the revenues should make Rub.

3 473.4 billion, what is by Rub. 801.6 billion above the indicators envisaged by the law on budget.

The expected increase in revenues of the federal budget for this year was affected by such factors as changes in macroeconomic indicators, additional revenues generated by the actions taken by tax agencies, and a number of other factors.

It is expected that in 2005 tax revenues of the federal budget should make Rub. 3 055.5 billion, what is by Rub. 822.8 billion above the indicators set by the law on budget (not taking into account the changes introduced by federal law No. 84 FZ). In 2005, the tax revenues without USF and transfer of financial resources to the RF Stabilization Fund are estimated to make Rub. 2 291.0 billion (what is by Rub. 476.6 billion above the indicators set by the law on budget). Expected tax revenues of the federal budget exceed the indicators approved by the law on budget (taking into account the changes introduced by federal law No. 84 FZ) by Rub. 638.9 billion (or by Rub. 292.7 billion if the revenues transferred to the RF Stabilization Fund are not taken into account). Non-tax revenues of the federal budget in 2005 are expected to make Rub. 1 841.0 billion, what is by Rub. 747.6 billion, or 68.4 per cent, above the indicators set by the law on budget (or by Rub. 741.0 billion taking into account the changes introduced by federal law No. 84 FZ). Without transfers to the RF Stabilization Fund, non-tax revenues in 2005 will make Rub. 1 099.1 billion (what is by Rub. 241.8 billion above the indicators set by the law on budget).

The predictive appraisal of additional revenues of the federal budget in 2005 and retrenchment of expenditures in the section УServicing of the public and municipal debtФ permit to envisage in the draft law additional appropriations aimed at the financing of instructions given this year by the RF President and the RF Government, as well as the measures recommended for implementation by the resolution of the State Duma not set by the law on budget (the version of law No. 84). The calculation of the new parameters of expenditures was carried out on the basis of the updated consolidated revenues and expenditures of the federal budget for year 2005 as on September 1, 2005.

In January through August of 2005, expenditures of the federal budget were adjusted for the total amount of Rub. 366.82 billion. The retrenchment of expenditures pertaining to the section УServicing of the public and municipal debtФ (not taking into account the adjustments made with respect to the consolidated revenues and expenditures of the federal budget in January through August of 2005) is approximately assessed to make Rub. 13.14 billion by the end of the year (as on September 1, 2005); it was formed at the expense of lower expenditures for servicing of the public foreign debt and was determined by such factors as appreciation of the Ruble against the US dollar in comparison with the planned figures, as well as early repayment of a certain portion of the public foreign debt to the Paris Club member countries in accordance with the arrangements made in the course of negotiations held in the city of Paris (France) on May 13, 2005.

As a result, the planned parameters of expenditures envisaged by the draft law should make Rub.

3 539.45 billion, what is by Rub. 491.52 billion above the amounts approved by the law on budget, of which Rub 124.7 billion are additional budget appropriations envisaged by this draft law. The allocation of the said additional budget appropriations across items of the functional>
