Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday approved a limited cabinet reshuffle proposed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, introducing changes to key government posts, including appointments in the finance and transport portfolios. The reshuffle follows the parliamentary elections held last September, which renewed the composition of the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament. It comes as Moscow seeks new drivers of economic growth amid a widening budget deficit, higher tax burdens, and elevated interest rates. Under the proposed adjustments: Finance Minister Anton Siluanov will assume the post of Deputy Prime Minister while retaining his role as Finance Minister, a position he has held since 2011. Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin has been nominated to serve as Deputy Prime Minister, overseeing the development of the transport sector and other government dossiers. Dmitry Yadrov, head of the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia), has been nominated to succeed Nikitin as Transport Minister. The proposed appointments and adjustments will be submitted to the Russian parliament for official approval before taking effect. Source: Rum News Agency
