MOSCOW - Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on Wednesday said Russia's budget spending in 2024 would exceed the level currently envisaged in the budget plan for 2023-2025, the Interfax news agency reported.

Siluanov said the government expects to see an increase in non-oil and gas revenue next year.

An increase in Russia's debt burden is inevitable as Moscow spends on the military and economy, a deputy finance minister said this week, while around $5 billion in budget expenditure is set to be redistributed to more pressing causes next year.
