Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has approved amendments to the country's budget code, the Kremlin's press-service said on Saturday.
The bill was passed by both houses of parliament in late September.
The amendments include a ban on using the country's oil and gas revenues to tackle the budget deficit until 2014.
Medvedev has made it a priority to diversify the country's economy away from oil and gas and "rework" it with hi-tech investments.
