The Government of the Russian Federation, together with the Bank of Russia and regional executive authorities, has been instructed to ensure the achievement in 2026 of the following key objectives:

- restoring economic growth rates, investment activity, and addressing structural challenges in key sectors of the economy, while maintaining inflation at year-end 2026 within the range forecast by the Bank of Russia (4–5 percent);
- changing the structure of imports of goods and services, including expanding imports of priority categories of goods and services (labour-intensive goods and services, as well as technological solutions that have no domestic equivalents);
- ensuring implementation of the Action Plan to bring selected sectors of the economy out of the shadow, with particular emphasis on the need for a substantial increase in tax collection in 2026 and on improving operating conditions for bona fide participants in economic activity;
- increasing labour productivity in key sectors of the real economy with the highest employment levels and low labour productivity;
- accelerating the introduction of advanced technologies in the economy, the social sphere and public administration, with particular attention to the application of artificial intelligence technologies, autonomous systems and digital platforms.
