The Russian government is strengthening support for key sectors of the economy
February 24th. /MEDIA TALK/. On February 24, 2025, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak shared plans to strengthen the financial sector and support key sectors of the economy.

Within the framework of this initiative, more than forty strategic solutions are being developed, covering various fields of activity: from housing construction to the coal industry and transport.

To stimulate demand for housing and support the construction sector, the government has increased the profitability of preferential mortgage programs such as Family Mortgage and Far Eastern and Arctic Mortgage. To ensure the stability of the coal industry, an agreement was signed between the Kemerovo Region and Russian Railways, which guarantees the export of coal in volumes corresponding to the indicators of 2024.

Measures are being implemented in the transport sector to optimize the use of wagons: their turnover is decreasing, and innovative wagons with increased load capacity are being actively used. To stimulate demand for freight transport and buses, the preferential leasing program has been adjusted — now it provides a discount of up to 40% of the cost of vehicles.

4 billion rubles have been allocated for the purchase of public transport under the program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. And Russian Railways will receive 15 billion rubles for additional capitalization, which will allow the company to upgrade its fleet of locomotives and rolling stock.
