Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Wednesday that the city government will reduce the size of its workforce by 15% after budget revenues in recent months fell short of projections.

“Based on the results of the first two months [of 2026], revenue growth amounted to 2%, which is below the 6.5% projected when this year’s budget was drafted,” Sobyanin was quoted as saying by the Moskva news agency.

Sobyanin said the layoffs would take place by June 1, but he did not specify which departments or employees would be impacted. He stressed that the move would not affect the number of employees “providing social services to citizens.”

In addition, he said the city will cut its 2026 investment program by 10%, which includes canceling or postponing urban beautification projects and public cultural events.

Moscow ran the largest budget deficit among Russia’s regions last year, posting an annual shortfall of 229 billion rubles ($2.97 billion).
