Subject. This article focuses on the debt in loans issue in the Russian economy.
Objectives. The article aims to analyze the problem of credit debt in Russia.
Methods. For the study, I used the methods of analysis, synthesis, correlation-regression analysis and graphical methods.
Results. The article shows that the significant increase in the money supply has led to the loss of dominance of the equities volume over the debt from loans and securities. The article also identifies the reasons for the increase in loan debt.
Conclusions. The reviewed data can be informative for the Government of the Russian Federation when forming budgetary policy in the context of excessive growth of the non-financial organizations and households debts.
