indicator. e of the many years of work that was carried out to stabilize the budget of the discipline of the vologda region. we have fully paid off all series of budgets of environmental banks were once at 81 place in terms of statehood for a long time among the subject of the russian federation , we are now in the twentieth place in safety. at this level, these indicators and a large budget surplus allow us to guarantee the fulfillment of all social obligations undertaken and to continue infrastructural development. e, vologda oblast there is no doubt about this, and the carry-over balance e, allows us to cover all our needs and even despite the reduction in income tax. uh, metal metallurgists and industry complexes. and in twenty third year. i see that you already have a surplus, but certain deficits. yes, we close it with a carryover. e from previous years and all these 3 years 23 24-25

the budget is balanced. well, what concerns what concerns the industry. uh, here too. we've got substantial growth. here, since 2012 , the russian industry for 10 years at comparable prices, uh, tripled from 420 billion to 1 trillion 220 billion rubles. and we predict that their twenty-third in the twenty-fourth , the growth of the industry of the vologda oblast will continue in terms of the volume of shipped products per capita ranks ninth among the eighty regions of the russian federation, which is also a good indicator of sustainability, and the industry , uh, of the vologda oblast, and under this , there are no temporary investment crises, i have already said there are no questions here, we are growing and growing significantly, which cannot please us. this is, of course, product safety assurance. this is the growth of agricultural production. nashlagman of this vologda milk vologda butter and a record in recent years for 28 years

milk production 588. the record for the production of vologda butter per cow, in general, the historical record has never been like this in the history of the vologda oblast, and therefore we rank fourth in the country in terms of milk production per capita and, of course, this became possible thanks to huge federal support from the ministry of agriculture and our support of more than 3.5 billion rubles. in a year , there is an economic sector of the vologda oblast aimed at state support measures, food security will assured of this. you take the first place in the production of black caviar and yes, we have our russian mountain houses, because just, uh, vologda caviar is black caviar, which is produced on turtles. yes, heroism, yes. here in the labor market, if we say, uh, we had, uh, pessimistic forecasts. well, throughout the country, probably,

this has not happened yet about the fact that unemployment will grow in our country. we have an unemployment rate of 0.9%, the number of vacancies is more than twice as much as e. the number of unemployed is some difficulties at those enterprises of the timber industry complex, which are now reorienting themselves to new markets, but there we lend a shoulder, organized e and public jobs so that the enterprise reaches the planned indicators for the time being. uh, at the expense of the budget to support employment in these enterprises, therefore , the last wages and the labor market are stable with growth. well, if we are talking about new support tools, i would like to report to you that in the fourteenth year, uh, we introduced a new mechanism to support our municipalities. these are the so-called town-planning councils. we have the opportunity to support our municipality with money, but the principle should be the same, and the majority of the inhabitants of the municipality where i come and see off

the city councils should vote for the decision that is made by the councils. and when you see a forest of hands, when uh these uh support programs are new roads. eh, the improvement of parks and squares is supported by the population, then, of course, the amount of funds. we highlight. so far , 81 city councils have already been carried out, 160 billion rubles. allocated additionally from the regional federal budget. and this is a global transformation of our municipalities. improving the quality of life and comfort almost two and a half thousand objects have built a major overhaul since the fourteenth year. even remoteness is such a program in all municipalities, and interestingly, i want to tell you that all these graphs are broadcast live. e, and this is truly a people's program, when the budget is formed by people. so so, a must go on people must feel on the participants in this process.
