The latest budget deficit sees a considerable decrease from the 3.6 percent of GDP in the same period last year, Medvedev said at a cabinet meeting on the
execution of the federal budget of 2017.
In the first six months of this year, the budget revenues grew by approximately 21.5 percent year-on-year, exceeding 7 trillion rubles (121
billion dollars) vans sk8 hi blanche cuir , while the expenditure in the same period amounted to 7.5 trillion rubles (130 billion dollars), the prime minister said.
He noted that "the structure of the revenues is changing," with more money coming from taxes and fees than from selling oil and gas.
According to the prime minister, the GDP volume in the first half of 2017 increased by 1.7 percent, which is about 42 trillion rubles (727 billion
dollars) in monetary terms.
"We expect that in the second half of this year the growth of gross domestic product will continue vans sk8 hi cuir noir ," he said.
Medvedev said that currently the Russian government is running 33 federal target programs (FTPs), with the total amount of financing at the expense of the
federal budget (the open part) exceeding 912 billion rubles (15.76 billion
dollars) this year.
The FTP for the development of space cosmodromes in 2017-2025 will be allocated over 340 billion rubles (5.87 billion dollars) from the budget, aiming
at enhancing research and facilitating the implementation of commercial projects
in the space field, Medvedev said.

TIANJIN, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese version of the Olympic Games, known as the National Games, is interwoven with the larger story of Chinese sports.
The 13th National Games opened in Tianjin is destined to be a historic
installment. It is held at a moment when the world's second largest economy is
undertaking a wide-ranging reform push in the area of sports vans old skool femme verte , in a bid to help its people enjoy healthier and happier lives.
"National Games for a Healthy China" is the slogan of Tianjin 2017. It illustrates a shift in China's focus away from an all-or-nothing pursuit of
Olympic and World championship gold medals and toward a more balanced attitude
about the fundatmental function of sports in wider society.
One major change will see the National Games open its doors to amateur athletes for the first time in 30 years, drawing over 8,000 amateur finalists to
compete in 19 popular events such as taichi, chess, roller skating vans old skool verte , marathon and rock climbing. This is in addition to the over 10,000 professional athletes entering in the Olympic events.
The move has served a dual purpose: it has made Tianjin 2017 the most well-attended National Games in history, but more importantly, it also
underlines the country's determination to be both wealthy and healthy, or what
is known in Chinese as a "xiao kang" society. While this Chinese phrase
translates to "well off" in English vans old skool bordeaux femme , the word "kang" literally means "good health".
The country will continue to adore its Olympic heroes as always, which has been the case from the moment that China began its Olympic journey in search of
national pride and confidence when it returned to the Olympic family in 1979,
all the way to the present day, as China prepares to host its second Olympics in
2022 after Beijing 2008. Now the country regularly wins gold medals on the world
stage, filling its people with pride vans old skool bordeaux , uniting them under one purpose: making the most out of all the beautiful things that sports has to offer to people.
The National Games will likely keep functioning as a link in the state-sponsored sports system, which mobilizes resources all over China to
scout, train and select sports talents and elevates the very best to the
national teams.
However it is impossible to ignore the fact that the whole sporting system has previously come under criticism: several scandals have stemmed from the
extreme focus on gold medals, which had the effect of distancing sports from the
general public.
The changes did not happen overnight. But when they did occur, they began to put the country on a stronger footing by allowing it to put sports in
perspective.
A government guideline unveiled in late 2014 (one year after the 12th National Games in Shenyang vans old skool rouge femme , Liaoning) pushed for accelerating the development of the sports industry and boosting sports consumption. This was followed by
policies including the milestone soccer reform led by Chinese President Xi
Jinping, which promised more sports facilities, easier organization of
competitions, favorable policies for sports-related businesses and emphasized
on-campus sports.
The reform is two pronged: it aims to create a "Healthy China" while at the same time tapping the massive economic potential of the sports industry --
setting a goal for the sector to grow into an industry worth 800 billion U.S.
dollars by 2025. The changes are having an effect from the top down as well as
from the bottom up. Around the time the government launched the policies,
grassroots sports came to life and developed with a rapid
