Anton Siluanov, the head of the Russian Finance Ministry, on the sidelines of the Moscow Financial Forum, identified the country's third ally, except for the navy and the army. RBC informs about this today, September 18.

Siluanov noted the great importance of reducing the dependence of the budget on various restrictions.

"Whether it's price, whether it's volume," the minister said.

If we consider oil policy, here Siluanov noted the need to reduce this dependence, but already on oil and gas revenues.

"The sustainability of finance is equal to the basic basis for economic growth and the growth of people's well—being," he added.

In general, according to Siluanov, budget policy should strive to make "the budget more muscular."
