Russia's Meetings Plan for Tomorrow: Council for Strategic Development and National Projects—Part One

At the end of every year, most governments take stock of what happened, what worked, what failed, what remains to be done to finish the year's agenda, and plan for the next year and often beyond that. Some are aware that Russia's economic connections were uprooted and essentially destroyed by the Neoliberal Parasites that invaded Russia after the USSR's unfolding. The Soviet economy's networks were completely alien to them and they weren't at all there to help—aside from helping themselves to Russia's wealth and resources. During the 1990s, almost as many Russians died as those in the Great Patriotic War as a result of the political-economic rapine. When Putin took over, only Russia's military was functional, but just barely. There are many books that describe how that was done; Dr. Hudson in his Destiny of Civilization suggests The Tragedy of Russia's Reforms: Market Bolshevism Against Democracy by Peter Reddaway and Dmitri Glinski. The key point being much of Russia's entire economy needed to be reconstructed after the 10-yearlong Rape. Thus, Putin and his crew are barely 20 years into this massive nationwide reconstruction and rejuvenation process that employs a mixed set of tools. And during this entire period, Russia's been handicapped by a series of illegal sanctions that have ramped up to the point where Russia has now become sovereign in almost every aspect of its economic activity, much of which is due to the activities of the Council.

It's curious to read Russian polling results on Trust in Putin and parts of the overall government apparatus—national, regional, local. Putin is always 65%+ while the rest hover @55%, which is far beyond how those within the Outlaw US Empire Trust their government, “leaders” and institutions. My point is there shouldn't be that big of a difference between Putin and the national level as most of what's been done is done by that group; then there're the regions who are enabled by Putin, the national government and by their own officials. Yes, finding the right cohort of people capable of providing good-excellent governance is difficult, but Putin's been rather successful at making correct choices. If the choices hadn't been as good, then the performance in the face of the unprecedented level of illegal sanctions at the beginning of March would've been far worse. Yes, credit does go to Putin for overall leadership, but credit is also due to all those who provided outstanding performances—and there were thousands.

Thus, at today's meeting we hear from some satisfied people who've done well, but most importantly want to do much more—they are hungry. Before I provide the meeting's transcript, I want to provide an excerpt made by Putin after his discussion of Russia's financial and general economic condition:

“Let me recall that by introducing the sanctions, the Western countries were trying to push Russia to the periphery of world development, but we will never follow a path of self-isolation and autarky, as I have said more than once. On the contrary, we are expanding and will continue to expand our interaction with anyone that is interested, those who clearly understand others’ interests as well as their own interests. Russia is building up trade and investment relations with these countries. Our foreign trade is moving towards dynamic regions and markets and dynamically developing countries. In fact, we have been doing this for many years – even without the current developments in the world.

“So what has Europe achieved by imposing these restrictions? First, this is what economists call an unprecedented, forced leap of inflation in its own home, the eurozone. In November, inflation in the eurozone averaged 10 percent. Some countries recorded exorbitant figures of more than 20, 21 and 25 percent.

“Today, the authorities in the European Union are saying themselves that the policy of their main partner – the United States – is directly leading to Europe’s de-industrialisation. They are even trying to present some bills for this to their American suzerain. Sometimes, they even sound offended; they want to know why they deserve this. I’d like to ask them, in this context, and what did you expect? How else should one treat those that allow others to wipe their feet on them? But, after all, this is their business.” [My Emphasis]

The above is from the official English transcript, which currently is only about 40% complete. The Russian transcript's machine translations have been worsening via the software I've been using—much worse now than before the SMO began—leading me to believe its deliberate downgrading. So, do be aware that there are far more errors, and some may want to go to the provided link and run it through their own translation program. I should also note another important meeting of government members preceded this one whose Russian transcript can be found here. There are still several important events to be held but the dates have yet to be determined: Putin's annual end-of-year marathon presser and Putin's Address to the Federal Assembly, as well as New Year, Holiday and Christmas Greetings.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Dear colleagues, good afternoon!

We are by tradition, at the end of the year we hold a meeting of the Strategic Development Council and national projects to assess in detail what has been done to achieve national goals, and these, I emphasize, are the basic, integral guidelines for development countries until 2030.

Today as a key issue of the practical agenda, we will consider systemic mechanisms to support investment in technological development projects, ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty, including the industrial clusters announced, as you may recall, at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. According to this Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Industry will make presentations on the issue Denis Valentinovich Manturov and Head of the State Council Commission on Industry Alex Gennadyevich Dyumin.

But before that, I consider it necessary to outline a number of the most important tasks of the state policies for the future, 2023, to offer new solutions that will allow us to develop more confidently and, among other things, to respond to the challenges with which today the domestic economy, and our citizens, are facing, taking into account those serious, noticeable, one might say, tectonic changes that the whole world is experiencing.

How It is known that an unprecedented sanctions aggression has been launched against Russia. She is was aimed at crushing our economy in a short time, in fact, through plundering our foreign exchange reserves to collapse the national currency – the ruble – and provoke devastating inflation.

This calculation is like us we see how, in fact, everyone sees, it was not justified. Russian entrepreneurs and authorities worked collectedly and professionally, and citizens showed solidarity and responsibility. Thanks to the joint work of the Government, the Bank of Russia and the regions of the Russian Federation has succeeded to stabilize the situation.

By the end of the year, GDP is projected to decline, indeed, the decline, as I have already said publicly, is about 2.5 Percent. I did say 2.9 recently, but the latest predictions suggest which will be even smaller – 2.5 percent. Yes, this, of course, is also a recession, but this is not the 20 percent collapse that many Westerners predicted and, frankly, in part, some of our experts at a time when the collective West collapsed on us with an economic war. Moreover, already in the third quarter, economic dynamics showed a slight increase after the minimum values of the second quarter.

Level prices in Russia - after a serious surge in March-April - starting from May almost has not changed, and the Russian ruble has become one of the strongest currencies in the world since the beginning of the year.

Such the result was achieved through our decisions to regulate the outflow of capital, to transfer gas payments to rubles, to actively use national currencies in trade with partners, but above all, of course, at the expense of responsible currency. financial policy.

Russia's public finances are preserved stability. According to the results of January-November of this year, the federal budget executed with a surplus of 560 billion rubles, and the consolidated budget – with a surplus of one trillion 451 billion Rubles.

At the same time, we expect that in general, in the current and next years, our federal budget will be executed with a small deficit – about two percent of GDP, and this will be one of the best results among the countries "big twenty"." I will not give examples now, they are well known to experts – these figures are for other G20 countries. Moreover, the budget for the future three-year period implies a gradual reduction in the deficit to less than one percent of GDP in 2025.

We will maintain a responsible financial and macroeconomic policy, which guarantees in the next three years not only full financing of social obligations, but also the solution of new tasks, facing the country.

I emphasize that this policy is important not only for the answer. to current challenges, but also in the long term. And we will stick to it, focusing on the fact that it should become, first of all, a solid foundation for economic growth for years to come.

When we discussed the economic situation in the world, set two main goals for the current year: to reduce poverty and inequality and to continue the policy Development. We – we are well aware of this – are imposed sanctions, and we, relying first Of course, we will only go forward on our own reserves and resources.

So an important decision was made on monthly payments to families with children of age from eight to 17 years. This decision directly affected more than five million children. This was followed by the advanced indexation of the subsistence minimum, the minimum the amount of wages and pensions - by ten percent. As a result, in the third The poverty rate fell to 10.5 per cent in the quarter. Of course, this is small. movement, but moving in the right direction. Income of the least well-off parts of the population also grew by 27.8 percent in nominal terms – in denominations, I want to this should be emphasized and I will say again that we are talking about people with the least income, which allowed to reduce the level of inequality a little.

We are preserved all major state programs, continued to modernize primary health care, resettle emergency housing, repair and build roads, eliminate landfills and objects of accumulated environmental harm, we are building new schools, houses of culture, libraries in the countryside and much more.

More In addition, new programmes had been launched, such as the overhaul of schools. Only in the current and next years, about three thousand will be repaired throughout the country. Schools.

Earned such instruments as infrastructure budget loans and bonds, with the help of which Russian regions will attract more than 300 this year billions of rubles.

Got support and mechanisms of preferential and family mortgages. Under both programmes loans worth 1.7 trillion rubles were issued. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Russian of families have improved their living conditions, and construction as an industry has become one of the drivers of the Russian economy – plus 5.8 percent in ten months. It is expected that the current year will be the most successful, record for the domestic Housing. We will sum up the final figures a little later. Marat Shakirzyanovich [Khusnullin] reported these figures to me yesterday or the day before yesterday, they are Impressive. Let's look at the final results.

We are we will continue the development of our country, despite any external pressures. More In addition, we will definitely become stronger, implement qualitatively new projects, we will bring Russia to a higher technological level, we will provide it economic, financial, technological and personnel sovereignty.

Within the framework of our meeting today and my speech, I would like to determine six key tasks for 2023. Their solution will make it possible to successfully move towards the achievement of national goals set until 2030.

First The task concerns bringing cooperation with our key partners to a new level. To do this, we will remove constraints in logistics and finance.

Remind that by imposing sanctions, Western countries tried to push Russia to the periphery but we will never follow the path of self-isolation and autarky, as I have said this many times. On the contrary, we are expanding and will continue to expand interaction with everyone who is interested in this, who clearly understands where there are strangers, and where – national, own interests. Russia is building up with such trade and investment relations between states. Our foreign trade switches to dynamic regions and markets, to dynamically developing countries. As a matter of fact, this has been happening in our country for many years – even outside. binding to today's events in the world.

What has Europe achieved by imposing restrictions? First of all, the unseen, as economists say, a forced jump in inflation in its own home, in the Eurozone. In November, it amounted to ten percent in the eurozone as a whole. For some countries, the total values are exorbitant – more than 20, 21, 25.

Today the EU authorities themselves say that the policy of their main partner is The United States leads directly to the deindustrialization of Europe. They even try to to present some bills about this to his American overlord. Now and then in their statements, there are even words of resentment: they say, why are you doing this to us. Want in this regard, to ask: what did you want? What else to do with those who allows you to wipe your feet on yourself? After all, it's their own business.

I I will make a small digression regarding trade relations with the European Union. Despite the sanctions, it's curious. observation – for the first nine months of this year the supply of basic goods from Russia to the EU countries increased by one and a half times. Total Russian exports increased by 42 percent, and the trade surplus in our favor increased by 2.3 times, to $138 billion. In fact, the EU continues to consume our goods and services, and the reverse flows are restrained. The situation of such imbalances cannot go on indefinitely.

So what do we do? We will look for other, more promising partners in actively growing regions of the world economy. These are Asia, middle east, Latin America, Africa. It is to the markets of friendly countries that we reorient supplies of Russian energy resources. So, for the first nine months of this year oil exports to partner countries grew by almost a quarter.

Important a step to reduce the impact of sanctions and other hostile actions against Russia will develop port and pipeline infrastructure in the southern and eastern In particular, we will increase the export of natural gas.

Realization projects such as the Kovyktinskoye field, Power of Siberia-2, far eastern the route will allow by 2025 to increase gas supplies to the east to 48 billion cubic meters, and by 2030 - up to 88 billion. In fact, it's more than 60 percent of gas supplies to the west last year. In turn, new LNG projects in Yamal will increase the production of liquefied petroleum by 2030 natural gas by 70 billion cubic meters, which will also help to expand geography of exports.

One of the key growing consumers of Russian Our neighbors, including Turkey, are also gas. Its gas infrastructure has serious potential. In the coming years, we plan to organise, as I have already said, a gas hub.

If talk about the creation of an electronic platform, then this can be done during coming months. It is there that we will largely determine the finite the price for our European consumers, because what they have done on their sites is madness. In fact. And now they are still trying to expose us as guilty for what they did themselves, with their own hands.

Further. Russia plays a key role in the global agricultural market. This is the result. the work of our agricultural producers, and, of course, I want to tell them a huge Thank you, to express the most sincere words of gratitude. We are one of the largest suppliers to the global market of grain, vegetable oils and fertilizers. At the same time, the unconditional priority for us is the provision of internal needs and the faithful fulfillment of obligations. under external contracts.

Only Over the past five months, Russia has exported about 22 million tons of grain, mainly to Asian and African countries. Until the end of the current we are ready to supply another four to five million tons of grain, and by the end of the agricultural year, that is, until June 30, 2023, taking into account And we have a record harvest, and I would like to once again congratulate the villagers on this– and we will be able to bring the total volume of export supplies to 50 million tonnes.

Continue export mineral fertilizers to world markets. For eleven months more than 25 have already been delivered this year million tons. Unlike Western ones countries that shamelessly pull the blanket over themselves, Russia, on the contrary, it helps the poorest countries in Africa, Asia and other regions, supplies food and other goods. In the coming months ready for free, I have already said this many times, to transfer about 260,000 tonnes of fertilizers to countries in need. 20 thousand tons have already been sent to Malawi.

At All the importance of the energy and food sectors emphasis in development we will make foreign relations on non-primary goods and mutual investments. Solid We see the development of a convenient and independent payment infrastructure in national currencies as a basis for strengthening international cooperation. Here we are already have made good progress. According to the latest data, the share of the Russian ruble in our international settlements has doubled compared to December last year and amounted to one third, and together with the currencies of friendly countries, this share exceeded half.

Likewise on the agenda is the creation of other mechanisms for making payments. I mean application of digital currencies of central banks and distributed technologies registers that remove political risks from the use of currencies unfriendly countries.

That to help companies establish logistical, cooperative ties, develop safe and secure transport corridors. Russia by virtue of its geographical location as well as our geopolitical capabilities are capable of insure such logistics schemes against any risks. I repeat: the key to this is both the economic and financial potential, the capabilities of our power bloc as a whole.

Continues Let me remind you that the Construction of the Moscow-Kazan Expressway. Hereinafter it will connect St. Petersburg with the cities of the Urals and Siberia with a high-quality road: Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and Tyumen, and in the future - with Irkutsk and Vladivostok. Through Togliatti, this road will go to Kazakhstan, and in the east will have direct access to Mongolia and China.

All this will allow us to connect the western and eastern borders of our country at a new level, and the Russian market - with the market of key partners, will allow us to form powerful Eurasian routes.

Increased attention will be paid to the international corridor "North -South", within the framework of which it is planned to expand the transport and logistics infrastructure in the Caspian Direction. Next year, the Volga-Caspian Canal will be able to pass vessels with a draft of at least 4.5 meters. This will significantly expand russia's routes to the countries of the Middle East and India. In addition, we will focus on development railway approaches to the seaports of the Azov-Black Sea basin, we will increase their capacity.

Our plans include further modernization of the eastern direction of the railways, Transsib and BAM. This will significantly increase the volume of passenger and cargo flows, thereby increasing business activity and social mobility, open wide opportunities for trade, launch of new projects and, most importantly, successfully solve ambitious national tasks for the development of Siberia and the Far East, without removing from the agenda such our projects as accelerated modernization of the Murmansk transport hub, deepening and expansion of the fairway the most important river arteries, the construction of the Northern Latitudinal Railway in the future.

At I want to emphasize this once again: it is important to ensure integrated development. infrastructure of the Volga region, the Urals, Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far East, to devote attention not only to seaports and approaches to them, but also to develop land Routes. For example, Chita with federal support can be one of the most important logistics centers of interaction with China.

Add that in early August, the Government approved a plan for the development of the Northern Sea tracks until 2035. In the near future, the volume of traffic on this route is also will grow. We have talked about this many times and are doing this to ensure that for all this to come true, the necessary actions.

This year has proved the correctness of strengthening cooperation within the EAEU – I would also like to mention this separately. Under conditions the volatility of global markets and the unfavourable global environment in our economies develop connections. Thus, for the first nine months of this year, the volume of mutual trade the EAEU countries have increased by almost twelve percent. At the same time, trading food and agricultural products increased by more than a third.

Of course, trading is only a part. international relations of Russia. We intend to cooperate equally actively in science, technology and the humanitarian sphere, and such measures and initiatives are already being implemented. For example, for optimization Labor market within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union launched the system "Work" without borders." It contains more than 500 thousand vacancies and two million resumes from all EAEU member states.

Good cooperation has been established in the field of nuclear energy. Rosatom organizes all the chain of creation and operation of nuclear power plants abroad, including on the principles of build – own – operate.

Already have in the near future we will expand the joint implementation of projects in the energy sector, agriculture, industry, aircraft construction, medicine, transport, space, "digital", ecology and other high-tech industries. Let's be together with our partners to seek leadership in the creation of artificial elements intellect with strict observance, of course, of ethical, moral, moral Norms. We recently discussed this with our colleagues, including at an event organised by Sber.

Of course the specific parameters of such cooperation are the subject of discussion. However, I repeat, the fundamental point here is mutual interest.

The second task for 2023 is to strengthen technological sovereignty and anticipate growth of the manufacturing industry. I don't even know, the second, the first [the task] here is if the second, then only by the numbers, as they say. In the near future, we will expand the joint implementation of projects in the energy sector and agriculture Economy.

Sanctions restrictions have posed many difficult tasks for our country: there were problems with components, lack of technological solutions, the usual logistics. But, on the other hand, it opens up new opportunities, is an incentive to build an economy that is complete, not partial, technological, industrial, personnel and scientific sovereignty.

Stress: it is important not just to replace some commodity items - you need to achieve leadership in key, vital areas, such as, already said, artificial intelligence, computing and data transmission, new industrial technologies and so on further. A number of events and conferences will be held in these areas in the near future, I will definitely ask members of the Government to take part in them. and I'll try to do it myself. At the same time, I would like to remind you that I have already asked to prepare and launch new programs in the field of robotics and aircraft drones in the coming year.

Of course it is impossible to gain technological sovereignty, as they say, in one moment – it is necessary to continue systematic work for the future. In this regard, preparations should also be accelerated. updated plans for the development of key sectors of the domestic economy, including metallurgical industry, automotive industry, energy, adjust plans development of the military-industrial complex and the parameters of the state defense order, including Number, taking into account the results of the work of the Coordinating Council under the Government Russia to support our Armed Forces participating in the special military Operation.

At I would like to stress that delays and a formal approach are unacceptable here. So, we agreed to launch using the funds of the National Fund welfare preferential leasing of aircraft and water transport of domestic production. Unfortunately, so far this tool has not worked.

Pay attention of colleagues from the Government: programs should be implemented in full Volume. Funds for aircraft leasing should begin to be provided this year, and water transport - no later than the first quarter of 2023.

Task next year in order to ensure the outstripping growth of the manufacturing industry industry, in a short time to increase capacity, to create new production lines. And the key issues here are the availability of raw materials, developments and technologies, equipment, qualified personnel and trained sites.

Already have an industrial mortgage instrument was launched. Now for the purchase of objects under production can take a preferential loan of up to 500 million rubles at a rate of three or five per cent for up to seven years. I think it is right if we we will extend industrial mortgages not only to the purchase of industrial areas, but also for their construction or modernization. Please note Governments that this mechanism should be provided with funding.

Except In addition, from January 1, a new preferential mode of operation of industrial enterprises will come into force Cluster. It is intended to complement existing mechanisms to support industrial projects, including successful working Industry Development Fund. I want to draw attention to this, We have repeatedly said that the fund is working properly.

Fiscal and the administrative burden for residents of industrial clusters should be reduced. They will also receive a low level of insurance premiums and income tax benefits, and the demand for their innovative products that are just entering the market, will be supported by long-term orders and subsidies from the state.

According to estimates, these and other measures should ensure the implementation of popular projects in the amount of more than ten by 2030. trillions of rubles. At the same time, in 2023, the expected volume of investments in such projects can amount to about two trillion rubles. More about this Denis Manturov is due to report today.

The third task is to ensure the financial sovereignty of the country.

Thanks to Russia's strong balance of payments, we don't need to borrow abroad, we don't need to go into bondage, we're not going to bond. Our economy has the financial resources. We need to increase their accessibility for projects of the new economy, for the creation of high-tech enterprises and the production of products with high added value.

The work of our financial system should ensure those needs that were previously covered by Western sources of financing, including trade and project finance, should ensure the inflow of long-term savings and equity investments, investments in large-scale infrastructure and new production projects, and – especially I would like to emphasise that we are going to fast-growing high-tech businesses. For all of these things. Tangible, visible progress needs to be made next year. I would like to draw the attention of both the Finance Ministry and the Bank of Russia to this.

Dear colleagues!

Major a condition for increasing business, investment activity, creating workers This is the fourth most important task.

We are have already achieved good, noticeable results in the renewal of the federal the road network that connects the regions, stitches the space of our a huge country. The next step is to tidy up the regional Alignment. In 2024, just the day before yesterday, we remembered this, at least 85 percent of roads in the largest agglomerations, as well as more than half of the roads regional and municipal significance should be in the normative state, that is, to become modern and safe. When accepting transport We talked about this at the meeting.

Rates good ones – there is reason to believe that the planned values for repairs roads can be reached earlier than planned, and it is important not to reduce this dynamic.

Construction and repair of the infrastructure of networks, communications, public transport systems – everything This is a huge amount of work that is being done at the regional level, including within the framework of national projects, you need to pay special attention to this. Funds of national projects are planned until 2024, while some regions are ready to accelerate and introduce facilities a year earlier.

In this regard, I would like to draw attention to the following. We need to support this Initiative. I ask the Government to form a mechanism by the end of this year advanced financing of infrastructure construction within the framework of national projects. Okay, huh? Where people cope, we still need to redistribute resources. in the interests of those who do this, in order to give to the regions next year access to funding, which is planned for 2024, and thus to shift plans to the left – I want to say again, for those who are successful and effective it works – it is necessary to work, I repeat, ahead of schedule.

Further. For the development of infrastructure in the regions, we have proposed a new tool - infrastructural budget loan. Works well: this year and next year with their help will be work worth at least 500 billion rubles was completed.

Already have it was decided to extend this program for 2024-2025, and additional funds – 500 billion rubles – have been allocated. However, these volumes– I mean of course, the amount of work is not enough. Many projects submitted regions that have not received guaranteed funding, and they – many of them – already ready for implementation, you can already start here and now.

Please Next year, the government will increase the resource of infrastructure budget loans, to allocate an additional 250 billion for the development of transport, communal and social infrastructure, on the programs of modernization of housing and communal services.

At I would like to point out a few important points with this.

First. We have launched a programme for the development of Far Eastern cities. Plans have already been reviewed Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. At the beginning of next year, we will discuss development plans more several cities.

Note that not all of their needs are financially secure to date. In this I propose to allocate an additional 250 billion from the envisaged a separate limit of 100 billion rubles for projects of cities in the Far East.

Second. The 500 billion I mentioned infrastructure budget loans were distributed by region based on population size, and then selected mainly large, mostly prepared and effective projects. Suggest an additional limit of 250 billion, just announced, should also be provided on the basis of an open competition – this includes what I said about the Far Eastern cities – based on the greatest socio-economic Effect. I ask the Government to hold such a competition at the very beginning of the next Year.

Likewise I think it is possible to expand the infrastructure bond program. In here the total volume of ongoing projects reached 150 billion rubles. I propose to double this amount in the near future.

Further. One of our unconditional priorities remains the construction of housing and improvement. housing conditions of citizens. Here, a special role is given to the development of the mortgage market, including programs with state participation.

Due to the current economic situation, the number of mortgage, including preferential, loans has been objectively reduced, and we have taken measures to fine-tune and stabilize this Market. So, after the jumps in the mortgage rate in March-April to twelve interest on my instructions, I asked to do this, the rate of preferential mortgage was reduced to seven percent. December 31 effect of preferential mortgage Ends. In this regard, I consider it necessary to take the following decisions.

First. As agreed, we will curtail the mechanisms of preferential mortgages – we were yesterday, Colleagues, we discussed this with you – we will curtail it, but we will do it. smoothly. What exactly do I mean: we will extend preferential mortgages throughout the territory Russia until July 1, 2024. At the same time, the rate on it will be slightly higher, will increase to eight percent.

Second. At the same time, on the contrary, access to a family mortgage, which becomes our main tool. Now such a loan can be obtained only those families in which children were born since 2018. Now I propose provide access to mortgages at a rate of six percent for families who have at least two children under the age of 18. This is a new proposal, please work as soon as possible and start implementing.

Third. I propose a special solution for the new regions of the south-west of Russia - the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. For residents of these subjects of the Federation I propose to provide a mortgage for a new construction, that is, housing in new buildings, at a preferential rate of two percent. I see that now there is a new construction in its infancy, but it will be a tool to deploy this construction. Yes, the volume of housing construction here is still limited, but the introduction of preferential mortgages, on my the view, and colleagues agree with this, will serve as a condition for long-term development construction projects in new territories.

Further. Everywhere, in every city and village of Russia, apartments and houses of citizens, industrial and social facilities must be reliably provided with heat and water.

We are agreed to launch a large program for construction and repair from 2023 housing and communal services systems. Within ten years, it is planned to attract at least 4.5 to this area. a trillion rubles. Including from the state, 30 billion rubles are provided for the program in 2023 and 100 billion rubles in 2024. However, according to estimates, this, of course, will not be enough to radically change the situation in the housing and communal services system.

In this regard, I ask the Government, together with the regions, to prioritize the funds of the infrastructure budget. credits for solving problems in this area, and when preparing a budget for the following I propose to discuss the allocation of additional resources for the same purpose.

Growth economics and business initiative, industrial and infrastructure opportunities, scientific and technological potential of the country - all this should create powerful social incentives. Such development should lead to a decrease in poverty and inequality, to a narrowing of the gap in the potential of the regions, to an increase in real income of citizens.

And in this regard, dear colleagues, the next key task, in fact, is system-forming, end-to-end, which concentrates, integrates work on all other directions. Despite the objective difficulties of the current year, we we will achieve positive results in reducing poverty, and next year this positive trend must be consolidated.

We are We provide targeted support to the most vulnerable groups of citizens: pensioners, families with children, as well as those who are in difficult life situations. Annually pensions are increasing at a rate higher than inflation. This year, as I said, they were raised twice, including from June 1 by an additional ten percent.

Simultaneously with pensions, for the second time in a year, the subsistence minimum was indexed, on which many social benefits and payments are tied. They, respectively, too. have grown, which directly affects the incomes of about 15 million people.

Stress: the key to improving material well-being russian families, their incomes – this is high rates of economic growth is, of course, the basis of the foundations – and just like new, well-paid jobs, and not only in large agglomerations and megacities, but also in small ones. cities and small towns.

In the coming The priority task for the Government and the constituent entities of the Federation should be ensuring a noticeable, tangible increase in real wages. One of the most important indicators here is the minimum the amount of wages. This year it was increased, increased twice - by 8.6 percent and by ten percent, and from the beginning of the new year it will be more than 16 thousand rubles a month.

Have to and further increase the minimum size wages, and at a rate higher than inflation and average growth rates Salaries. There should be no poor people among those who work, that barely make ends meet. Work, it is work that should provide a decent income for a person. I of course, I expect from you, dear colleagues, proposals for possible additional steps in this direction.

Further. Protection of motherhood, childhood, support for families and preservation of the people - this is absolute, indisputable value for each of us, for the whole country. And that's it. Another important, sixth task for the authorities at all levels.

Note that the so-called children's budget, - the Ministry of Finance began to build work within the framework of of this paradigm, the children's budget is a good invention, the amount of budget spending on supporting families in Russia has increased significantly in recent years. It is the fastest growing section of the main financial document – Budget.

Taking into account the superimposed negative waves in the field of demography, a difficult one is developing. the situation in this area. Yes, we have managed to overcome the consequences of the coronavirus pandemics, reduce deaths, but a sharp decline in the birth rate actually nullified those achievements.

I I ask the Government to prepare a special package of measures at the beginning of next year; to reverse this trend, I understand that this is not an easy task due to the whole But we need to work on this – we need to change the situation for the better, to ensure an increase in the birth rate and an increase in life expectancy in Russia.

Note that from January 1, 2023, we will transform the system of support for motherhood and childhood: we are launching a single monthly allowance for needy families with children from birth to 17 years old. The benefit will be assigned on one application from the parent or a pregnant woman, and at once for all the children in the family. At the same time, the size benefits for pregnant women will be increased and will be from half to one subsistence minimum working-age population in the region of residence.

Repeat: registration and receipt of benefits should be as clear and simple as possible, convenient for citizens. And of course, it should serve as real support for Families.

Likewise please take into account specific life situations when family income, for example, salaries have grown a little and, according to formal signs, the family is deprived of the right to child benefits, but although in general its financial situation has not changed much. It is necessary, of course, to provide for a transition period. Instructions in this regard have already been given. I am waiting for specific proposals from the Government in the near future.

Separately I want to talk about the health care system. Its development in previous years has allowed avoiding many negative scenarios during the pandemic is absolutely obvious things. I want to once again thank the doctors for this work. We were able to quickly make flexible decisions, concentrate efforts, resources where it was especially necessary. We will continue to be guided by this approach.

Note that a breakthrough effect in the health care system can be achieved by we have also talked about this many times. In this I ask the Ministry of Health to speed up work on the creation of a digital Citizen health profile, implement artificial intelligence and telemedicine technologies to improve the quality of medical care – the way it is implemented in Moscow, as we also recently discussed, and a number of others Regions. And of course, it is necessary to increase the motivation of specialists health care, to tie it to the state and change in the health of citizens, to their own assessments of the work of polyclinics and hospitals.

Remind that last year a program for the modernization of primary care was launched Health. In polyclinics, FAPs, people first of all seek help and it is for their work, as a rule, in general, that they assess the quality. health systems. I ask the heads of the regions to keep under control the course of this program. I would like to emphasise that the main criterion for success here is not some dry reports on the activities and repairs carried out, but real growth. satisfaction of citizens with medical care.

Staff primary care workers work with a colossal load, which is also associated with with a shortage of personnel. During the pandemic, students came to the aid of colleagues seniors and residents. I propose to consolidate this practice: to introduce posts trainee doctors, so that residents of the second year of study can work in the specialty, primarily in primary care.

Except [I propose] to introduce a permanent basis from January 1 next year. an additional payment to the salaries of primary care specialists – we have already talked about this. The size of such a payment will be from 4.5 to 18.5 thousand rubles per month. Please note, it should be the same for each specific categories of medical workers, regardless of the region of the Russian Federation.

Consolidation primary care, building up its human resources is extremely important for prevention and early detection of diseases, to prevent risks premature mortality. In the zone of special attention - people suffering from sugar diabetes, for example. In Russia, now more than five million people with such officially established diagnosis, and in fact, most likely, of course, more. Since the disease often does not immediately make itself felt, a person may not suspect that sick.

We already have programs in place to combat cardiovascular and oncological diseases. I ask the Government to launch the same large-scale program to combat diabetes. Tatyana Alekseevna [Golikova] knows, Ivan Ivanovich Dedov talks a lot about this, writes papers, me sent the appropriate ones. We need to respond to this. This work should include early diagnosis of the disease, guaranteed provision of citizens medical devices, including consumables, and medicines, and, of course, preventive work, that is, the whole complex of measures that determines the quality and life expectancy of diabetics.

Likewise it is necessary to increase the volume and coverage of drug therapy for patients with hepatitis C. This will return people to a normal, full life, and in the majority. cases and completely cure. I ask the Government to work out the sources and the financing of such a programme.

One more thing. A little less than two years ago, the Circle of Kindness Foundation was launched in Russia. Therefor more than four thousand eight hundred sick children received his help. severe rare diseases. The fund pays for them extremely expensive medicines, expensive treatment, helps save lives.

Remind that it all started with the purchase of drugs for children diagnosed with spinal muscle atrophy", and today the fund covers 59 diseases. List the purchased drugs have almost tripled. Sliding machines are purchased joint prostheses and other medical devices previously inaccessible to families. The search and delivery of bone marrow for transplantation, including from foreign ones, is underway donor bases.

In the near future, the age to which it is possible to receive the fund's assistance will be increased – we discussed this with our colleagues this morning – from 18 to 19 years old. Please it's a done deal. So that within a year after adulthood carefully, without damage for the patient to transfer the financing of further therapy at the expense of funds, designed for adults.

Can Confidently say: within the framework of the current powers, the fund guarantees treatment to all children with severe ailments. His budget is completely enough for this - I want it To emphasize, it is completely enough, and it is formed, let me remind you, at the expense of increased tax on part of the income of citizens who earn more than five million rubles a year. By the way, I want to turn to those citizens, to those people from whom this tax is levied: all the money goes exactly as intended.

And I would like to draw the Government's attention to the established performance indicators of the Fund, their implementation does not mean that in the future it is possible to limit funding. "Circle of Good". On the contrary, it is necessary to develop and strengthen the areas of its work. Resource for this purpose there is, at the disposal of the fund remains significant amounts of cash Funds. Today we only counted with Tatyana Alekseevna and the Minister. Finance: by the end of this year, more than 80 billion rubles will have accumulated.

Believe it is also correct to use these funds for the health of children and for this purpose. I propose to expand the mandate of the fund. It is necessary to provide for the possibility of paying for additional types and volumes of rehabilitation of sick children at the expense of the Circle of Kindness. I emphasize, in excess of the volumes provided by the individual program Rehabilitation.

Children should be able not only to receive treatment, but also to undergo restoration. In this regard, it is necessary to provide for the payment of expensive technical means of rehabilitation, as well as means for the development of musculoskeletal Apparatus.

Except In addition, the "Circle of Good" will take over the purchase of medicines for children with others complex diseases that are not currently fully funded regional budgets. I ask the Ministry of Health, Tatiana Alekseevna will regulate all this.

Dear Colleagues!

Successful the future of a person depends on quality education and versatility Development. Such opportunities should be provided everywhere, in any region of our country. Country.

We are we build kindergartens and schools. By the end of next year, all children under three years of age will be provided with places in nurseries. Let me remind you that in 2018, at the start of the project, security was 78 percent. From 2019 to 2024, at least 1300 will be built schools, more than a million educational places have been introduced.

How I have already said that a programme has been launched to overhaul existing schools. Repeat such an update should take place taking into account the opinions of teachers, students, of course, parents. They know better how things should work in their home school. What you need to make the educational space comfortable, modern, motivating to success in studies.

Suggest after 2024, when the main construction activities will be completed, take a course on the regular renewal of educational spaces in schools and kindergartens, so that basically, without any reminders and orders, on time carry out major repairs, purchase educational equipment, apply modern technologies and teaching methods.

And of course, the same high standards in terms of equipping classrooms, provision of textbooks, hot meals, personnel, availability of circles and sections should be in educational organizations of Donetsk and Lugansk folk republics, in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

Very much it is important that general education in Russia is based on the best, advanced Methods. We have a number of very strong schools. They occupy the leading places in world rankings, and their students become winners and prize-winners of international subject Olympiads.

Suggest we are constantly talking about this as well – about the need to replicate the experience of such people. schools in our country and on their basis in each federal district to open similar leadership schools, kind of flagships that would serve others Schools are a good, reliable reference point, a source of best practices, methods and personnel. In particular, I propose to build one of these schools on the territory of new ones. subjects of the Federation.

Yes I know that in a high degree of readiness, relevant projects already exist in Nizhny Novgorod, Pskov, Ryazan, Belgorod, Veliky Novgorod. I ask you to determine in the near future all the regions where there will be such projects have been implemented, as well as to choose a model for financing construction. I ask the Ministry of Education to coordinate this work.

For now about high school. In the next decade, 25 new university campuses should be created in Russia world-class campuses with the most modern conditions for study and scientific Activities. Will be built over a million square meters of buildings and laboratories, where more than 25 thousand students and young scientists will study and engage in creativity. These campuses should become points of attraction for talented guys from all over the country, as well as centers for the development of science and economy of the regions where these educational institutions are located.

First eight projects have already started in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk and Tomsk. And we need, of course, to speed up this work, we need to speed it up. Nine more will be built in 2025-2026 campuses in cities such as Samara, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Khabarovsk, Perm, Arkhangelsk, Tyumen, Veliky Novgorod, Ivanovo, as well as on the federal sirius territory. The relevant decisions have been taken. Then during the next we will determine eight more regions that will receive new university Campuses.

A what as for the national project "Culture", then within its framework a wonderful project to create model libraries. They have already become real cultural. Centers. Recently, I had the opportunity to see this via videoconference. They have become good models in small towns and rural areas. Considering the relevance of this initiative, I propose to allocate an additional annual funding for the development of the library network.

Remind that today children aged 14 to 22 years can visit museums for free, theatres, other cultural events according to the Pushkin Map. From this year, which declared the Year of Art and Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia, the denomination of the card increased to five thousand rubles.

Except In addition, the Government has been instructed to implement a new federal programme to modernise the infrastructure for children's recreation and health improvement. Also this morning we discussed it with my colleagues. We will launch it next year.

Dear Colleagues!

All the tasks I mentioned are of particular importance for every city and town, for every citizen of our country, without exaggeration, wherever he lives. The solution of these problems imposes the most stringent, increased requirements on organs. state power at any level. Specialists in this field should be are demanding of themselves and the results of their labor and, of course, must be open, are receptive to modern practices and approaches, to the use of the latest technologies and methods of work.

Said about this at the recent conference on artificial intelligence, I have already talked about it I hope you also paid attention to this. And now I appeal attention of all colleagues: you need to pay special attention attention to improving the quality of public administration, transition to a management model based on large databases, including in areas such as healthcare, education, housing and communal services, and just about it was said. This is the key to the success of our common work, the main condition for and the achievement of national development goals.

Completing I would like to note another task that now has Paramount. I mean ensuring security, recovery peaceful life in the Lugansk and Donetsk republics, in Zaporozhye and Kherson Areas.

We are we will definitely achieve the goal, and in the future for all the key ones for people issues in the economy, social sphere, in the field of management of these regions will become one with the country. We have already passed this way with Crimea and Sevastopol and we know what needs to be done.

In that All-Russian social standards will be introduced in the new regions Ensure. There will be a maternity capital program, needy families will receive payments from the state, pensions will increase and so on. We will develop primary health care, build kindergartens, nurseries and schools.

In general, for several years, the standards of social support, work healthcare, education, culture, transport will be raised to the level of neighboring Russian regions.

And of course, we will stimulate economic activity in the new territories, to develop their industrial and agrarian potential. It is necessary to ensure multiple growth investments, the emergence of new enterprises, including in the field of housing construction, improve the quality of roads and railways, utilities and energy Infrastructure.

Please The government will prepare a special one by the end of the first quarter of next year program of socio-economic development of new subjects of the Federation. In the horizon of 2030, all of them should reach the all-Russian level in terms of quality infrastructure, social services, many other parameters of the quality of life.

And I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this relatively distant period does not mean that you can postpone this task for later – we need to do it now. to ensure the advanced development of new subjects of the Federation, annually to achieve results in each direction. Responsibility for this will be personally carry relevant ministers and deputy prime ministers.

Come on now let's move directly to the agenda.

Pass i give the floor to Denis Manturov. You are welcome.

D.Manturov: Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich!

Dear colleagues!

To achieve technological sovereignty, we must swiftly implement hundreds of industrial projects, ensure the production of a wide range of raw materials, materials, components and, of course, finished products. All this requires launching new industries investment cycle, creation additional incentives for private capital inflows.

Under this task we have worked out the assignment that you As you said, the mechanism is already being implemented at the St Petersburg Economic Forum in terms of industrial mortgages. Just this week, Mr President, The Ministry of Finance has brought the limits, and banks are starting issue tranches. They have already selected more than 500 potential borrowers with total a loan portfolio of almost 70 billion rubles.

Initially with Anton Germanovich [Siluanov] agreed in the budget to allocate a modest amount of funds at the start in order to look at the interest Industry. Taking into account the fact that the initiative turned out to be very popular if you support, next year we will apply for an additional need. This is all the more relevant given your proposal to scale up industrial mortgages for the construction and repair of buildings on purchased industrial sites.

Second and main mechanism achieving technological sovereignty is launch of a cluster investment platform. We discussed in detail with all our colleagues, there are presentation materials. Platform will be implemented as cost-effective, and low-margin creation projects priority products of high redistribution.

These are those industrial initiatives, which will serve to solve the most important socio-economic objectives, namely the provision of food, energy and biosafety, as well as the advanced development of the health care system, the transport sector of our country, increasing the pace and quality of infrastructure and housing.

Cluster investment the platform will provide industrial business long-term and cheap credit resources for projects worth up to 100 billion rubles. At the stage of capital investments - two more years after entering the series - there will be a preferential rate of 30 percent key rate plus three percent. Now it's 5.2 percent, based on the fact that the current rate of the Central Bank is 7.5 percent.

State accordingly, it will subsidize shortfalls in income for financial institutions in order to open access to concessional loans. for indebted enterprises. We work with colleagues to provide the platform state guarantees and guarantees of VEB, and for especially complex projects where the economy does not work out on the general Grounds, will be the possibility of separate by the decisions of the Government to further reduce the rate Loan.

Also, as you noted, we we use tax incentives for participants clusters implementing [special investment contracts] 1.0. I am referring to zeroing out income tax and reducing insurance premiums to 7.6 percent. The draft amendments to the Tax Code in the coming days will be submitted to the State Duma.

To create preferences for the products produced by clusters, we have provided subsidies for the purchase of starting batches. Specifically for low-margin and strategic projects, we propose a special measure. We are talking about the return of 25 percent of the investment component of the loan for three years after entering the series, but with a ceiling of no more than 50 percent of revenue. This subsidy should be selective and provided on a competitive basis.

In addition, all platform participants are provided with a long-term guaranteed demand both for public procurement and within the framework of Federal Law No. 223-FZ. This can be implemented through, offset contracts, public-private partnership agreements and lifecycle contracts.

Initially, even at the development stage, anchor customers from among monopolies will be determined, corporations, industry flagships. This is corresponds to your instruction, Mr President, given following the results last meeting of the Council. And we already have a high degree of readiness of projects in diesel construction, large-scale demand for them. will be provided by Russian Railways, USC, Rosatom and Gazprom.

Separately, Mr President, I would like to talk about simplifying the administration of clusters. For participants, a reduction is provided control measures and inspections, as well as the application of tax and customs monitoring procedures. Under the specified conditions by us in advance 164 projects worth 5.2 trillion rubles were selected.

Priority industries are the chemical industry, timber processing industry, automotive industry, metallurgy, railway engineering and shipbuilding. We expect that now, when the basic the parameters of the platform have been defined, the heads of our subjects will join the formation of a pool of projects, and by combining the efforts of all interested departments, regions, financial organizations, and business, we will be able to increase loan portfolio up to those indicated by you ten trillion rubles. This is an ambitious, but absolutely feasible task.

For the initial stage of the cluster investment platform in 2023, the budget provides for five billion rubles. Taking into account the indicated assessments on the loan portfolio will look at the pace sample funds and seek additional appropriations as required.

Thank you, Mr President, for your attention.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

Please, Alexey Dyumin.

A.Dyumin: Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich!

Dear colleagues!

To the proposals voiced by Denis Valentinovich, I would like to add the following.

First, you need to be very tight. to work out with the regions specific projects that will enter the perimeter of the new cluster development. There are 164 projects – they have already been mentioned, they are in the presentation – which are pre-selected. I consider it expedient to form a second list based on expertise and understanding on the ground.

It is important now to decide not only on the first pool of projects, but also on those which in the coming years will strengthen and continue this work. We are talking about regional business projects, about which well known to the heads of the subjects and profile Ministers. This will allow the Russian Government to ensure the principle of long-term forecasting, including financial forecasting. The proposed tax incentives are also falling out. income, this must also be taken into account in the long term. Relevant work will be organized at the site of the commission [State Council] in the direction of "Industry" in cooperation with the Ministry industry and commerce.

Second, to the cluster the investment platform that was presented, all existing development instruments must be linked. It's not just about about the tools mentioned, but also about all an ecosystem to support scientific and technological development.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, thanks to Your support and decision of the Government of the Russian Federation tools such as CST – complex scientific and technical projects. These are scientific and educational centers world-class, innovative scientific and technological centers. These tools work today, each has its own characteristics. Right now it is necessary to use all these tools within the framework of one strategic goal and the tasks that you set for us.

For each project that will be approved within the framework of the cluster under consideration Initiative, it is necessary to provide a green light and full support. We propose to form a complete menu by analogy with the infrastructure, so that each the industrial enterprise saw and enjoyed all the opportunities for its development for the long term.

Third. Now the Commission of the State Council together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade is actively working on the creation of a mechanism for investing the capital of the largest industrial enterprises in new technological Projects. The approaches proposed today offer to attract a significant amount of private investment in the implementation of projects that will be approved. At the same time, the company itself does not always have the opportunity to attract the full volume of its own investments.

Bank financing, even discount, obtaining state Guarantees – all this not only weighs down the financial models, but also significantly delays the timing of the project. The country has a sufficient number of companies with a large capital that is now investing mainly in their own development, but are ready also finance in priority industries and high-tech projects. From the state it often only requires confirmation that the project is strategic and will be supported and maintained, and industry expertise. For example, it can to conduct the Industrial Development Fund, which will be the agent of the cluster platform presented today.

A similar approach was used in the approval of "road maps" between The Russian government and large state-owned development companies high-tech industries. Now we need give another boost, and it is necessary attract private capital to solve priority industrial problems.

In the near future on the site The Council of State together with big business and the Ministry of Industry and Trade consider the possibility of creating such a mechanism. The results of the work carried out on all the points that were indicated, as well as proposals for the development of basic industries Mr President, we will be ready to present it at the meeting of the State Council in the area of Industry, which scheduled for February 2023.

Thank you.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you.

Dear colleagues, we focus on investment support technological sovereignty, which both Manturov's colleague and Dyumin have just reported on. Mr Sobyanin, we have many more national projects, and the Government is working as a whole a set of issues.

Who would like to say something on the main topic of today meetings, and other areas?

Please, please. Mikhail Vladimirovich, I am listening to you.

M.Mishustin: Mr President, we have visited dozens enterprises of various profiles – all this I reported to you before the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, – visited almost most industrial regions. I can say with confidence that Russian industry with the appropriate The state is ready to solve the tasks of implementing projects, including technological sovereignty.

On your instructions to modernise support mechanisms A lot of work has been done by industry in the new conditions. Denis Valentinovich told in detail about it. Were identified key areas and projects that need to be implemented to ensure the technological sovereignty for the period up to 2030. We are talking about initiatives in a variety of industries. It's low- and medium-tonnage chemistry, engines, aircraft manufacturing and many, many what else.

Within the framework of this new mechanism of the cluster investment platform, the preliminary list of new investment projects in industry. Denis Valentinovich said that there are about 160 of them with a total the volume of capital expenditures of more than five trillion rubles until 2030. We put in front of the task is to increase such investments and support investments of up to ten trillion. I will say in detail just a few words about what we plan to do.

First. In the near future we need approve the criteria for the selection of projects, to form a schedule for their implementation by year. It should be synchronized with the developed concept of project taxonometry technological sovereignty.

Second. Under such a schedule will be the amount of subsidies has been calculated, Sources. Some of them will be found through adjustment of the existing so-called traditional measures to support industry, the rest of the financing is only to be formed. This is important to all of us. understand.

Third. Initiators investment projects should be sufficient equity capital. In order for the proposed measure to be effective and to operate in full force, we together with VEB, we are now working on the rules and mechanisms of surety. This will balance the risks of implementation projects between business and the state. Now it is very important to focus the maximum amount of resources on solving this problem, funds are needed there. Right away the state has done everything necessary for this.

Therefore, we will keep this project under personal control, To report to you, Mr President, and in January we are going to hold a separate meeting on this topic for all resources.

I ask you to support the proposal Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The report is over.

Vladimir Putin: All right. Thank you very much.

Anything else, colleagues? You are welcome.

M.Shmakov: Mr President, may I ask you?

Shmakov Mikhail Viktorovich, FNPR [Federation independent trade unions of Russia].

Vladimir Putin: Please, Mikhail Viktorovich.

Maxim Shmakov: Mr President, your speech set very large-scale tasks that, certainly needs to be done. And more The paths that you have in your speech voiced, from my point of view, very progressive and must lead to success.

It is especially important, from our point of view, to set goals so that we do not have working poor, that all those who work receive such a wages that would guarantee them to withdraw from this category – the category of the poor. And raising the minimum wage is indeed the best mechanism for solving this problem.

But I would like this to be supplemented by recommendations along with raising the minimum wage. I understand that today our entire economy is built differently and the whole economy, and therefore it is impossible to issue a law or a decree on how to build tariff scales, but nevertheless recommendations on tariff scales that should applied in various sectors of the economy would be useful. Because if we only raise Minimum wage, we will all the time low-income workers are pulled up to middle-income workers. After there are biases in qualifications, in payment depending on qualifications.

Therefore, it would probably be useful to give instructions, that such recommendations be made. And then, Of course, there are collective negotiations at enterprises, negotiations on the conclusion of collective agreements, there are and are actively working tripartite commissions in the regions and in the sectors, and there this could be established on a negotiating basis specifically for the industry or for some enterprise.

And the third point, which is important to focus attention on, from my point of view, is the strengthening of the rule of law and the strict implementation of the requirements of the laws, the Constitution, the prevention of various fantasies in lawmaking and in the interpretation of laws by both law enforcement agencies and and law enforcement. Because when a representative of the prosecutor's office is in court, even The Prosecutor General's Office says that we interpret the law broadly, then this is simply a denial of the law, this leads to absolute legal nihilism. That's why I I think that would also be important to point out, so that everyone complies with the law in force in our country.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

So please, colleagues, who else?

T.Golikova: Would you allow me, Mr President?

Vladimir Putin: Yes, please, Tatyana Alekseyevna.

Tatyana Golikova: Mr President,

Dear colleagues!

Good afternoon!

Reacting to your presentation, Mr President, I wanted to report. that, aware of the sensitivity of the problem of fertility in the Russian Federation and the need for adoption additional measures, in accordance with your By instructing and instructing the Prime Minister with a large group of specialists and experts, we are implementing a project to study all the problems that are related to the effectiveness of the implementation of those measures that are related to the support of the birth rate now and, as I have already said, the need to work out additional measures.

We are divided this work into three stages. By December 25 of this year, we will prepare the so-called portrait of a woman, who wants to have a child, according to the Russian The Federation as a whole and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It will be based on all available statistical data, the latest data of the All-Russian Census population, information that is entered in medical birth certificates, and so on. See also public opinion.

In the second stage, until February 28, the "portrait" will be supplemented with data from pilot studies aimed at determining the impact of individual support measures on a woman's desire to have children.

Finally, the third stage. Until April 15 targeted recommendations will be generated for of all constituent entities of the Russian Federation sent to increase the birth rate, and an additional set of measures to support the birth rate has been developed. We are we will be ready to report such proposals to you, because Understand that this topic is an absolute priority for achieving national development goals Country.

I would also like to respond to two of your comments, which relate to diabetes and hepatitis C programs.

Currently, taking into account your instructions and taking into account the fact that the Ministry the Budget Law provides for additional financial resources resources in the amount of 10 billion rubles, we will develop the corresponding one by the end of this year. federal project for the development of the system, aimed at combating diseases, associated with diabetes mellitus, both for the pediatric population and for the adult. At the same time, we additionally consider issues of further development of this project.

In regard to In accordance with your instructions, we have already approved by the Government order on November 2, 2022, the corresponding plan for the phased implementation of measures until 2030 to combat hepatitis C.

Further. A register will be established by the Ministry of Health patients with hepatitis C, the contingent of persons to be treated has been determined, the compulsory health insurance system will be adjusted tariffs for financial security of this type medical care and revised prices for purchased medicines in order to reduce the cost of cost appropriate treatment.

Also I would like to use today's case and paying attention to the fact that you Said in their opening remarks, to address the regions of the Russian Federation. We are together with you we are implementing the most complex projects not only on demography and social support families, but also for construction. Volume As you have already mentioned, this is quite large, including the construction of social facilities. On a regular basis, every Deputy Prime Minister in terms of competence, Marat Shakirzyanovich [Khusnullin], we hold relevant meetings on the timing of construction and the implementation of indicators that are fixed by your decrees. But Unfortunately, in a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the topic of which involves moving objects to the right.

You have already said that those subjects that, on the contrary, are timely or ahead of schedule, should be encouraged through the transfer of objects from right to left. But I would also like to draw attention, given the high responsibility to the population for the introduction. social facilities, to give instructions regions of the country so that they perform in a timely manner the commitments they make.

We have a key year 2023 in terms of achieving those indicators, which are worth the implementation of national Projects. I would like to ask our colleagues to proceed from the need to fulfill their obligations and not to postpone this. for 2024. And if this happens, then practically in a regulatory and directive manner to redistribute these financial resources for subjects that have time. And those regions that do not have time and all the time move [the deadline] to the right, this is not a popular sentence, but nevertheless I wanted to say it, let it be then they carry out the completion of facilities at their own expense. Otherwise, we will delay the solution of problems, which are aimed at creating social infrastructure.

Thank you.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Tatyana Alekseyevna, we discussed this morning some questions for today's meeting, with you and with the Finance Minister.

I support your proposal, bearing in mind, among other things, that the program modernization of primary care, it is also unevenly implemented. In my opening remarks, this is exactly what I said, bearing in mind and knowing your approach to this, discussed as I have already done. said, this morning.

I agree with this that here it is popular, not popular - if you did not do it on time, then you need to transfer financing to those who know how to organize Work. But we need to look at how she is. organized, again, especially this applies to primary link. It's a purely technical thing. nature: design and estimate documentation is ready or not, in what condition it is, of what quality, competitive procedures are carried out, in which deadlines and also how they are organized. Yes, timing compressed, but you need to learn how to work in these Time. Funding is allocated steadily, regularly. I don't see any problems here, we need to redistribute these resources, that's all.

As for the birth rate, that I would like to say the same thing. Yes, of course it is it's a complex topic, we know that, and given the demographic pits we've been talking about since World War II. war and with the beginning of the 90s, but still of course, special attention should be paid to this.

It is necessary to pay attention to the regions in which such a a situation to which we must simply pay special attention attention: Smolensk region, Leningrad region, Ryazan region, Penza region, Republic of Mordovia. You You know about all these territories, but you need to see what is there, why is the birth rate lower there than in the whole country? What is the cause?

I don't know, in neighboring regions more than or less decent, and in these for some reason failures Go. After all, this is an integral indicator of all our and economic and social policy efforts. Integral index, therefore, in the field of health care it is necessary take a good look at it.

And of course, on what you are talking about. they said, namely, an analysis of the whole situation and the development of proposals. Let us we'll agree when we discuss it. I think we've already postponed it several times. I understand that this is a difficult job, you need to prepare well, but approximately like you think when can we discuss this?

Tatyana Golikova: I think that March, Vladimir Vladimirovich.

Vladimir Putin: It's a long march. Let's at least look at this for February. We used to meet, and you are doing this work now.

Tatyana Golikova: We are working on this work, but I proceed from the completeness of the proposals. Of course, we will ready in February, but maybe it's will require some refinement after discussion.

Vladimir Putin: All right. Let's meet in February, discuss your sentences. But if necessary, we will gather again to dot the "and". Done?

Tatyana Golikova: Thank you, Mr President.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you.

Victoria Valerievna, in the morning we also discussed some issues related to the environment, including Lake Baikal. You wanted to say something at today's meeting. You are welcome.

V.Abramchenko: Vladimir Mr President, colleagues, good afternoon.

As part of the implementation of your instructions, Mr President, and the implementation of the national project "Ecology" for conservation Lake Baikal we need to accomplish two key tasks.

The first is to eliminate accumulated harm from BPPM [Baikal pulp and paper mill].

It's a former major industrial an enterprise that was Soviet Builders uniquely placed in the immediate vicinity of Lake Baikal, from the water cut.

Secondly, to build several sewage treatment plants that have a direct negative effect on the lake. There are eight such objects: four are located on the territory of the Irkutsk region, three - on the territory of the Trans-Baikal Territory, and city treatment facilities in Ulan-Ude. All objects are in our work and completely provided with funding: 23 billion Rubles. We are completing the construction of treatment facilities in 2024.

By liquidation the industrial site of the BPPM, accumulated harm. First approach, Vladimir Vladimirovich, I was in 2013. During this time, four contractors were selected, and three failed to do the job, and in relation to the third, among other things, is also excited criminal case.

In order to work on Lake Baikal with a reliable contractor, the Government made a decision in October 2020 and designated Rosatom as the sole contractor.

The Rosatom team is now on schedule. On the site are made, firstly, urgent work. They are constantly performed, because there is a risk of overflow of sludge water into the lake Baikal. Rosatom designed and built appropriate local sewage treatment plants and these sludge waters are purified, does not allow to fall into the lake.

All three objects that represent accumulated harm on the industrial the site of the BPPM, in the contour of attention - surveys have been carried out on them. Two facilities are sewage treatment plants that contain black lye, and Babkhinsky test site – prepared design and estimate documentation.

For this industrial site, the black lye is the most dangerous substance is the 3rd hazard class. Total accumulated 290 thousand cubic meters of this substance.

To sewage treatment plants that contain black lye, already obtained positive environmental conclusion – conclusion state environmental expertise. We are waiting for confirmation of the estimated cost from Glavgosexpertiza. By the end of the year, a full set of documents will be available on the Babkha landfill and treatment facilities, and it will be possible to start work.

On the third object. This is Solzan polygon. This polygon too is located directly at the water's edge. Together with Anatoly Seryshev, we have made a decision on it for the time being. suspend design and conduct research work in order to choose the optimal technology elimination of accumulated harm in these cards of this polygon. We need to choose from two potential, possible technologies: composting and lithium.

In addition to bppm, Vladimir Vladimirovich, we are still engaged in the liquidation of the accumulated Harm. These are unauthorized landfills on the territory of the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal. We are nine such landfills have already been liquidated. Their total area – 15 hectares. Today, this territory has already been cleared.

Also, you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, we instructed the Government to approve the programme at the St Petersburg Economic Forum this year socio-economic development of the city of Baikalsk until 2040. The program was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development and submitted to the Government. To date it's already on the red form. The negotiation of this document is nearing completion, and we will present it in the coming days. Mikhail Vladimirovich [Mishustin] for signature.

The program includes 62 activities. Financing was provided at the expense of the federal budget, and we also used the tools of the fund Housing and Communal Services and the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation are two development institutions. In total, until 2040, at the expense of these funds - 33.5 billion rubles, in 2023 the program will be financed by 5 billion rubles.

Thank you.

Vladimir Putin: All right. Thank you very much.

How we talked this morning, crime stories – of course, let it be there, law enforcement agencies deal with all sorts of crooks or those who are suspected of cheating. But the lake's wellness programs should to be executed unconditionally.

And, Mikhail Vladimirovich, I would I asked you to pay attention to this as well, including from the point of view of the development of the city of Baikalsk itself.

Vladimir Mishustin: Yes, Mr President.

Vladimir Putin: Because there we will solve environmental problems, but the workload of enterprises, jobs in Baikalsk, the development of the city itself, the social sphere, they are extremely important for the people who live there. Thank you.

We are in St. Petersburg in June agreed on accelerated modernization public transport, regional public transport Transport. Apparently, the work is underway, but it is still is kind of disjointed. And here there is another, reverse side of this coin, which is associated not only with the need to update transport, refresh it and rejuvenate transport, if you can say so, but this is also due to the workload of our automotive industry enterprises.

Marat Shakirzyanovich, as it goes here work?

M.Khusnullin: Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,

In accordance with your instructions In March, we developed and approved a single comprehensive a program for the modernization of public transport, which is being implemented within the framework of the national project "Safe and high-quality roads".

In 2022, as part of the comprehensive the program included a number of activities, providing for the renewal of rolling stock, including within the framework of the programs "Clean Air", "Infrastructure Menu", "Socio-economic development of the Far Eastern Federal District". In addition, activities envisaged by the initiative the social and economic development of the Russian Federation "Mobile City", as well as activities implemented jointly with VEB to update urban electric transport.

As a result, this year's indicator for the growth of satisfaction with the quality of transport service in the proportion of users who have indicated to improve the quality, relative to the base year 2020 achieved and amounted to 17 percent.

In all directions for implementation 2022–2025 programs provided for 105 billions of rubles of federal funding. This year, 1122 units of vehicles were delivered, of which 828 buses, 191 trolleybuses, 103 trams.

In order to increase the pace vehicle and quantity upgrades regions participating in the program will be launched from next year additional financial mechanisms, for of buses is a preferential leasing with the involvement of funds from the NWF. A month ago, the Government agreed Special conditions for attracting funds from the NWF, which from next year on a competitive basis will be distributed among the regions, are 44 billion rubles.

Through the preferential mechanism Leasing is planned to update 4130 buses. For we use electric transport updates concession models with federal subsidies and VEB funds.

On behalf of the Chairman The federal budget for 2023–2025 provides for a federal government budget support – 86.5 billion rubles – for the implementation of pilot projects on integrated development of urban transport in 11 regions.

Pilot the complexes provide not only for the renewal of rolling stock, but also for the modernization of the tram infrastructure. In total, 630 trams will be delivered and 620 kilometers of tracks will be built. In addition, to modernize the public 120 billion funds allocated for transport infrastructure budget loans. These are chapters they themselves decided what to spend this money on.

These funds will be used to implement projects in Bryansk, Vladimir, Volgograd, Vologda, Kaluga, Kirov, Novgorod, Omsk, Penza, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Orenburg region, in Moscow, St. Petersburg, in the Republic of Kalmykia, Bashkortostan.

Likewise more than 220 billion are provided infrastructure budget loans for the development of metros in the Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions, construction of the metro in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Vladimir Mr President, in general, next year the plans set will be implemented. Want to to say, indeed, we had a lot different programs, they were very scattered, we collected all this into one program for a long time.

Now we have one. system program, where there are many participants, A large share of VEB here, Dmitry Grigorenko is engaged together with Igor Shuvalov, and I think that we have surely there will be a result and we will download enterprises with our own mechanical engineering.

Thank you. The report is over.

Vladimir Putin: Marat Shakirzyanovich, I have a request for you. You said there is a program. I would ask you, so to speak, on the basis of this Programs to submit me a memo, from which it would be clear in what time frame what specific results we will achieve on the update public transport in the regions. Ok?

Maxim Khusnullin: Yes, Mr President. Imagine.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

I during his opening remarks, he spoke about issues related to the financing of fast-growing high-tech He spoke about the need to identify sources that would replace the financing of those Western institutions, who have left our market.

I would still like the Minister of Finance and the Chairman of the Central Bank gave their assessment of what is happening here.

Anton Germanovich.

A.Siluanov: Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich!

Dear colleagues!

According to sources, including high-tech Company.

Our companies themselves participate directly in the implementation of this program, and we at the expense of the federal budget we also provide for co-financing for these purposes. More than 50 billion rubles are provided this year for participation in the implementation of these projects, in subsequent years - a little more than 30 billion Rubles.

In here it is important that it is the integration of both the resources of companies and the funds of the federal budget that give the result that could be take advantage of the economy and industry, so that companies work not only within the framework of its tasks, but also the results of this work were used for the economy as a whole.

Just two words about sources as an investment resources for sustainable development. We are consider these new sources in two Directions. It's a long-term savings. Citizens. Relevant legislative initiatives We have prepared them together with the Central Bank, discussed them, and they are now under consideration by the Government.

On the one hand, we provide a reliable tool for citizens to accumulate resources, their own funds – here there is a guarantee from the state, and co-financing, and tax deductions are provided for this kind Tools. on the other hand these tools will work as long resources for economic development.

And the second tool. We are developing additional incentives for the participation of citizens in the financial market, I mean only Russian financial ones. tooling. Here we also use tax preferences, tax incentives, for to create such citizens in our citizens motivation to participate in the financial market and, accordingly, guarantees so that it is reliable verified financial assets.

We are working together with the Central Bank in this direction, and we have prepared the relevant draft decisions. In the first half of next year, we must implement them according to the plan. Thank you.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

Elvira Sakhipzadovna, please.

E.Nabiullina: Good afternoon!

In addition to what Anton Germanovich said, I want to to say that in general the substitution of the external funding by internal sources is happening. We see this in the fact that the dynamics of corporate lending remains positive, despite difficult circumstances, and companies continue to attract resources in the bond market.

In general, we see that, of course, the challenge for the financial sector in the coming years is providing financial resources for technological modernization projects, but while maintaining financial stability and unconditional protection of the rights of depositors and creditors of companies. Therefore, of course, banks must finance payback projects. But among the the payback projects we want through change Banking regulation reorient them to put them first and foremost financed technological projects Development.

Therefore, we are now working together with the Government on a taxonomy. Mikhail Vladimirovich mentioned this, and the Ministry of Economic Development is preparing criteria for such projects. Projects. This will allow us to configure banking regulation.

As for the specially growing companies you mentioned, this is one of the clusters of technology development projects in general. In the summer, indeed, there were problems for our big technology companies, who borrowed and attracted funds from abroad, but these are already well-established companies in our country, you can not call them in the full sense of venture. They're now receive loans and can attract means, but nevertheless in general, of course, systemic problem of financing high-growth companies There are – we don't have enough such tools.

Therefore, we take part in the work that we are doing. Government, by definition of criteria fast-growing technology companies. Such amendments to the legislation have been prepared, but they concern small companies, for that existing programs – and their many, there are a lot of them, and institutions development and so on – to focus on such companies. The Ministry of Finance conducted an inventory of such programs, we also have our own proposals Gave. In our opinion, after changes in legislation, it will be possible to do so. accept.

And of course, it remains on the agenda. question: what to do not with small fast-growing technology companies, and those that are already, one might say, entering the stage of maturity. On the one hand, we have the entire financial infrastructure, a developed exchange platform, there is a special the sector of growth, innovation, there is a sector innovation and investment. It's happening there. placement is a market placement, and, of course, their volume is still small. Therefore, in our opinion, we need, of course, state support mechanisms, otherwise such placements won't be very big. With the Government, we are in the process of developing such mechanisms so that the Government could help.

Of course, the main issue is not only the funds of the banks that I am talking about. she said, we'll reorient. We are careful to ensure that non-state pensions are invested in such companies funds and insurance companies, because their the first responsibility is to their future pensioners, and they invest in highly reliable projects. Of course, venture projects are not where they should go. invest first, although they have there is an opportunity, there is a share. There's about ten percent - projects even without a rating, with a low level of rating. I must say that they have not yet chosen this limit, i.e. the source is there, just have to be kind of projects.

But, of course, the main source is these are the funds of retail investors. Quite a lot of our wealthy of Russians return their funds to Russia, and it is important to use them in order to finance such projects.

Therefore, measures are needed here. state support, and, of course, we need to look after the business climate, corporate law, because, for example, redundant and formal auditing activities of state bodies when there are measures state support can scare off private investors, especially venture investments.

We discussed these issues, including number at the strategic session, which conducted by Mikhail Vladimirovich. Main measures worked out, but, of course, they will take a certain amount of time. It's time. But in general, I want to stress once again that such substitution is taking place for existing projects of companies. and banks continue to lend.

Vladimir Putin: Everything must be done to ensure access to these fast-growing technological technologies. companies to capital markets, and contribute relevant changes to the regulatory framework. Mr Siluanov said that you plan to do this in the first half of the year, including, as I understand it, submitting the relevant draft laws to the State Duma.

So, Anton Germanovich? First six months is what? It's the end of June or the end of February? Here we need to keep up the pace, otherwise we will put companies in a complex position.

Anton Siluanov: Mr President, we will introduce it in the first quarter, at the beginning of the year.

Vladimir Putin: All right, we need to keep track. Please inform me.

Elvira Nabiullina: Can I add one more addition?

Vladimir Putin: Yes, please. Please.

Elvira Nabiullina: As for small, fast-growing technological enterprises, for example. Companies: The government has already prepared the criteria for such companies, and they have been submitted to the Government. I think that according to this list, by setting up existing programs, this can be done a little faster.

Vladimir Putin: This is what we need to do. I ask you to do this as soon as possible, especially if certain work has already been done. Done. You and I know what it is.

Participants in this process will be Grateful. On the one hand, investors, including pension funds. It seems to me that it is especially important here to lend a shoulder to the state in order to reduce the risks for these pension funds, increase the degree of repayment, protection of these investments. Must come to think of it, I don't think there's any big one here. outlay. I understand that formally these are some obligations, but in fact they will not be, we understand, especially if you work out these proposed ones well. Projects.

We just need to speed up this work. I ask the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Government in general to think about this and how you can quickly implement the plans that you have.

I have a question for Andrei Ramovich. We have been working with you, and you have started quite actively to work out issues of development and financing of certain high-tech areas, including our large companies that are not directly related to the work of these companies, nevertheless, were ready to take part in this common, very necessary work for the country.

How are things going here, Andrew Ramovich?
