action, but there was and is nothing stronger than your determination to be with russia and your motherland. we have already started and will continue to build up. i want to emphasize that this is the audience's reaction to the residents of donetsk luhansk zaporozhye and kherson once again, a low bow to everyone. we have already started and will build up a large-scale program for the socio-economic recovery and development of these new

subjects of the federation, including the restoration of enterprises and jobs in the ports of the sea of ​​azov, which has once again become an inland sea of ​​russia, to build new modern roads, as we did in the crimea , which now has a reliable land connection, we will definitely implement all these plans with the whole of russia. today , the regions of the country provide direct support to the cities, districts and settlements of the donetsk and lugansk people's republics. zaporozhye do it sincerely, like real brothers and sisters. now we are together again, which means that we have become even stronger and will do everything so that the long-awaited peace returns to our earth, so that the safety of people is ensured for this. behind

it is for their ancestors for the future of their children and grandchildren for the restoration of historical justice for the reunification of our people today our heroes are fighting. dear friends, i ask you to honor the memory of our comrades-in-arms who gave their lives to russia, civilians old people, women, children, who died under shelling at the hands of neo-nazis and punishers. we all understand, i understand how unbearably hard it is. now to the wives, sons, daughters of the fallen soldiers, their parents, who raised

worthy defenders of the fatherland, such as and the young guards of krasnodon, as young men and women who fought against nazism during the great patriotic war, defended the donbass about their courage, fortitude, with the greatest strength of the spirit of sacrifice. and today they remember that all of russia is our duty to support everyone who has lost their loved ones loved ones to help them raise their children. to educate them for a profession, the family of each participant in a special military operation should be surrounded by care and honor in the zone of constant attention. you need to respond to their needs immediately without red tape, i suggest. create a special the state fund will be its task, targeted personal assistance to the families of fallen

soldiers and veterans of a special military operation. he will coordinate the provision of social medical psychological support to resolve issues of sanitary-resort treatment and rehabilitation to help in the education of sports, employment , entrepreneurship , improve qualifications, improve the skills of obtaining a new profession, separately, the most important task of the fund is to organize long-term care at home, high-tech prosthetics for everyone who needs it, i ask the government together with the state council commission on social affairs on social policy to the regions as soon as possible. to solve all organizational issues, the work of the state fund should be open. and the very procedure for providing assistance is simple, on the principle of one window, without state

and bureaucracy. for every family, i emphasize for every family of the deceased. each veteran should be assigned their own personal social worker coordinator. which in the course of personal communication in the mode real-time will solve emerging issues pay attention to this year's structure. funds should be deployed in all regions of the russian federation there is already a measure of support for veterans of the great patriotic war ; veterans of military operations are taught this;

days and at least once every six months without accounting for travel time, so that each fighter. there was an opportunity to visit families to stay close to relatives and friends. dear colleagues. as you know, we have approved by a presidential decree a plan for the development of the armed forces for 2021-25, work on its implementation is underway, the necessary adjustments are being made and i want to emphasize that the foundations of our further steps to strengthen the army of the fleet on the current and future development of the armed forces should be real combat experience gained in the course of a special military operation is certainly required. he it is extremely important for us to say more absolutely priceless now level. well, for example, the level of equipping

russia's nuclear deterrence forces with the latest systems. more than 90 one percent 91.3%, and now i repeat, taking into account the experience that we have received, we must reach the same high quality level in all components of the armed forces officers and sergeants who have shown themselves to be competent modern and decisive commanders will be very very many to be promoted to a higher position as a matter of priority to be sent to the military the universities of the academy serve as a powerful personnel reserve for the armed forces and certainly. they should be in demand in civilian life in government at all levels. i just want

to draw the attention of my colleagues, this is very important. people should understand that the motherland appreciates their contribution to the defense of the fatherland. the most advanced technologies that will ensure an increase in the quality potential of the army. these are developments, samples of weapons and equipment. we have in each direction many of them are significantly superior in their characteristics foreign analogues of the problem. now we have to deploy their mass serial production. and such work is underway, its pace is constantly increasing, and i want to do it on my own. this should be emphasized on our property, scientific and industrial base due to the active involvement of small and medium-sized high-tech businesses in the implementation of the state defense order. today

, experienced specialists and more and more young people , talented, qualified, aimed at a breakthrough true to the traditions of russian gunsmiths to do everything for the victory without fail. we will strengthen guarantees for labor collectives. this also applies to wages and social security, i propose to launch a special program of preferential rental housing for employees of defense industry enterprises at a rental rate. for them, it will be significantly lower than the market, since a significant part of the payment for housing will be covered by the state. we discussed this question of the government to work out all the details of this program and without delay to start

building such rental housing in the first place. turn, of course, in the cities of our significant defense industrial and research centers. already dear colleagues, as i have already said, the west has deployed against us not only a military informational, but also an economic front, but nowhere. nothing has been achieved and never will be. moreover, the initiators of the sanctions punish themselves provoked in their own countries. just the loss of jobs, the closure of enterprises, the energy crisis, and their citizens are told that the russians are to blame for everything. what means were used against

us in this sanctions aggression, they tried to break economic ties with russian companies, disconnect the financial system from communication channels, in order to remove our economy, deprive us of access to export markets, in order to hit income, not to say our foreign exchange reserves, attempts to collapse the ruble and provoke. i repeat, anti-russian sanctions are only a means, and the goal is to force, as the western leaders themselves declare, a direct quote. make our citizens suffer such humanists they want to make the people suffer, thereby destabilize our society from the inside, but their calculation did not materialize the russian economy and the system of governance turned out to be much stronger than they believed back. thanks to

the joint work of the government of the parliament of the bank of russia, the constituent entities of the federation, of course , the business community of labor collectives, we have ensured the stability of the economic situation. we protected citizens, saved jobs, did not allow a shortage in the market, and including this necessity, supported the financial system of entrepreneurs who invest in the development of their business. a this means that in the development of the country, already in march last year, a package of measures to support business and the economy was launched for a total amount of about a trillion rubles. i want to pay attention. this is not an issuance policy , no, no. everything we do is based on a solid market base. at the end of 2022, the gross domestic product decreased. here is mehovich, he called,

he says he would like you to say about it well , what yesterday, in my opinion, this information came out and the time was correct, as expected. everything is according to our plan. we were predicted. remember, the economic downturn of 20-25%, 10 is very recent. you said two and nine. i spoke a little later 2.5 domestic product. uh, 2022 is down two and one ten percent. this is the most recent data, and let me remind you that back in february march last year, as i said , the president. just collapses of the russian business economy. he rebuilt logistics, strengthened himself with responsibility, predictable partners, and there are many of them in the world, such are the majority. i would like to note that the share of the russian ruble in our international settlements doubled compared to december 2021 and amounted to 1/3, and together with the currencies of friendly countries.

for more than half, we will continue to work together with partners on the formation of a stable and secure system of international settlements, independent of the dollar and other western reserve currencies, which, with such a policy of western faces of western rulers, will inevitably lose their universal character. they do everything with their own hands. it is not we who reduce settlements in dollars there or in other so-called universal currencies. they do everything with their own hands. you you know, there is such a stable expression, and guns instead of butter, the defense of the country, of course, is the most important priority, but the solution of strategic tasks in this area. we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, we must not destroy our own economy. we have everything to ensure security and create conditions for

the country's confident development precisely in this logic. we are acting and will continue to act. so many basic ones, i would like to emphasize precisely the civilian sectors of the domestic economy over the past year, not only did not reduce, but significantly increased for the first time in the modern history of our country, housing commissioning volumes exceeded 100 million square meters. as for our agricultural production, last year it showed double-digit growth rates. thank you very much low colonel to yourself as a russian agrarian farmer. russian farmers have collected a record harvest of 150 million tons of grain, including more than 100 million tons of wheat by the end of the agricultural year, that is, until

june 30, 2023. we will be able to bring the total export volume to 50-60 million tons another 10-15 years back abandoned just a fairy tale not feasible absolutely e no noun plan. if you remember, for sure, some here remember, not so long ago yes , the former deputy prime minister, minister of agriculture, 60 million, collected the weather in general. i am convinced that we have every opportunity for a similar breakthrough in other areas. we did not allow a drawdown in the labor market, on the contrary, we achieved a decrease in unemployment in modern conditions. today, in the face of such great difficulties, on all sides the labor market has become more comfortable for us than

than before. hmm remember, before the pandemic, we had four and 70% unemployment. and now 3.7, in my opinion pieces. i repeat, the russian economy has overcome, it has overcome the risks that have arisen. yes, many of them, these risks were impossible to calculate in advance, they had to literally scale back as problems arose, both at the state level and in business, the decision to make the most prompt mode , i note that here a huge role was played by private initiative, small and medium-sized entrepreneurship about this should not be forgotten we have avoided excessive administrative regulation of the bias of the economy towards the state. what is more important

, last year's economic recession was recorded only in the second quarter. already in the third and fourth quarters, growth and recovery were noted. we have actually entered a new cycle of economic growth, according to experts, its model and structure are acquiring a qualitatively different character. promising new global markets are coming to the fore, including our own domestic market. scientific technological personnel base, not supplies raw materials abroad, and the production of goods with high added value. this makes it possible to unleash the enormous potential of russia in all spheres and areas. already this year , a solid growth in domestic demand is predicted. our company will take advantage of this opportunity to increase production and release the most demanded products to occupy niches that have been vacated or are being vacated after the departure of western companies. today we see the whole

picture, we understand the structural problems that we need to solve in logistics technology finance in frames. we have been talking a lot, well, a lot about the need to change the structures of our economy in recent years. and now these changes. this is a vital necessity. and this changes the situation, and in this case for the better, we know what needs to be done for the steady progressive development of russia, moreover , sovereign independent development in spite of any external pressure. and i draw attention to threats with a reliable guarantee of the security and interests of the state, and i want to emphasize this in particular. the meaning of our work is not to adapt to current conditions , the strategic task is to bring our economy to new frontiers. now everything is changing. and it

changes very, very quickly. this is not only a time of challenges, but also of opportunities. it really is. today this is true, and our future life depends on this, how we implement them, how we implement them. it is necessary to remove, i want to emphasize this, to remove any interdepartmental contradictions of formality. grievances are not housewives. all other nonsense to delete everything for the result. this should be all on goals, successful start of russian small family businesses. this is already a victory for the opening of modern factories and kilometers of new roads. and this is a victory new school or kindergarten. this is the victory of scientific discovery and technology. this, of course, is also the victory of everyone's contribution. in general, success. that's what's important. in what areas should

the partnership work of the state in the regions of the regions of domestic business be concentrated? first, we will expand promising foreign economic relations and build new logistics corridors. a decision has already been made to extend the expressway moscow-kazan to yekaterinburg, chelyabinsk and tyumen, and in the future to irkutsk and vladivostok with access to kazakhstan, mongolia and china, which, among other things, will significantly expand our economic ties with the markets of southeast asia, we will develop ports, the black sea and the sea of ​​azov, special attention we will give. well, those who are engaged in this daily routine know that we will devote the corridor to the international corridor of the north, south, already this year they will be able to pass through the volga to the caspian canal with a draft of at least four and a half meters. this will open up new

routes for business cooperation with india iran pakistan countries of the middle east we will continue to develop this corridor in our plans, the accelerated modernization of the eastern direction of the trans-siberian railways and the baba building up the capabilities of the northern sea route. this is not only additional cargo traffic, but also the basis for solving national problems for the development of siberia, the arctic and the far east will receive a powerful impetus. infrastructure development regions infrastructure, including communications telecommunications road network is already in next 2024, at least 85% of the roads in the country's largest agglomerations, as well as more than half of the roads of regional war and inter-municipal significance will be brought to a standard state of certainty.

the decision has already been made to extend the free gasification program to social facilities, kindergartens and schools, hospital polyclinics, physical obstetric centers, and for citizens such a program will now operate on an ongoing basis. they can always apply for a connection. will be able to apply for the connection of their home to the networks gas supply this year, a large program for the construction and repair of housing and communal services begins, it is planned to invest in this area within 10 years. at least 4.5 trillion rubles. well, we know how important this is for citizens. how neglected this area is, we need to work and we will do it. it is important that the program immediately get a strong start. therefore , i ask the government to ensure its stable financing; secondly, we will have to significantly expand the technological capabilities of the russian economy to ensure

the growth of the capacity of the domestic industry launched industrial mortgage tool. and now a soft loan. it will be possible to take not only the purchase of production facilities , but also the amount of such a loan for their construction or modernization . it appears to supply three or five percent for up to 7 years. it seems to me a very uh, good program and should be used. starting this year, a new mode of operation of industrial clusters is also in effect, in which the fiscal and administrative burden on resident companies, and the demand for their innovative products that are just entering the market is supported by

long-term orders and subsidies from the state according to estimates. these measures should ensure by 2030 the implementation of projects in demand in the amount of more than 10 trillion rubles, and already this year the amount of investments is expected to be about two trillion. i pay attention. these are not just predictions, but clearly established guidelines, therefore, i ask the government to speed up the smell of these projects as much as possible, to offer businesses systemic support measures, including tax incentives . goths to provide and partially share such a position , the taxation system should even be holistic without any niche exceptions there, but uh, the creativity of this case has been so since this year. so, starting this year

, russian companies can reduce income tax payments if they purchase advanced domestic it-solutions and products using artificial intelligence. moreover, these expenses are taken into account with an increased coefficient one and a half times more than the actual costs, that is, for every ruble invested by companies in the purchase of such products, which i just mentioned, there is a tax deduction of one and a half rubles, i propose to extend such a tax benefit to the purchase of russian high-tech equipment. generally. i ask governments to propose a list of such equipment by industry in which it is is used in order, providing benefits, the third most important question is yes this is a good solution that will revive

the economy, the third most important issue on the agenda for the development of economic growth is new sources of investment financing, we also talk a lot about this thanks to a strong balance of payments in russia, there is no need to borrow for abroad to bow to beg for money, and then for a long time to conduct a dialogue about what, how much and under what conditions to give domestic banks work stably and steadily possess a solid margin of safety in 2022, the volume of bank loans to the corporate and sector increased. you see, i grew up a lot. but growth is fixed. 14%. this is more than in 2021 and any military operation in 2021 will increase. uh, the growth was then 11.70%. and now 14

mortgage portfolios have also added 240% the development is underway according to the results of last year , the banking sector as a whole worked with a profit. yes, it is not as big as in previous years, but a decent profit of 203 billion rubles. this is also an indicator of the stability of the russian financial sector, according to estimates already in second quarter of this year inflation. in russia, it will approach the target level of 4%. recall that in e. in some countries of the european union there are 17 12 20%. we have. four almost, well, five there the central bank , the ministry of finance, are sorting it out among themselves. well , it will be close to the target, taking into account the positive dynamics of this and other macroeconomic parameters

, objective conditions are being formed for reducing long-term lending rates in the economy. this means that credit for the real sector should become more accessible everywhere in the world, an important source of investment resources are long-term savings of citizens. and we also need to stimulate their inflow into investment areas. i am asking the government to expedite the submission of bills to the state duma for the launch of the state.
