Anatoly Artamonov, head of the Russian Federation Council Committee on Budget and Financial Markets, has called for an urgent tax increase to save the Russian budget.
Artamonov stated that Russian authorities need to seek additional revenues for the treasury, which has been hit by declining oil and gas revenues and a worsening economic situation.
According to him, measures must be taken "urgently" because the "economic forecasts have become more pessimistic" and commodity revenues are falling.
