it is in this logic that we act in those countries 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 production, the volume of housing commissioning, for the first time in the modern history of our country, exceeded 100 million square meters, as for our agricultural production, last year it showed double-digit rates growth. thank you very much low regiment, agricultural producer of russian farmers. russian agrarians collected a record harvest listen to 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 55-60 million tons 10-15 years ago, simply refused fairy tale absolutely not feasible e not feasible plan. if you remember, probably some here remember, not so long ago yes, the former deputy prime minister, minister of agriculture 60 million, collected the weather in general. and now there was only 55-60 export potential. i am convinced that we have every opportunity to make breakthroughs in other areas as well. we did not allow a drawdown in the labor market, on the contrary , we achieved a decrease in unemployment in the current conditions. today, in the face of such great difficulties, the labor market has become more comfortable with us from all sides than it was before.

remember we have unemployment rates. and now 3.7, in my opinion, is only three-seven historical lows. 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 i had to react in advance literally from the wheels as problems arose, both at the state level and in business , decisions were made as quickly as possible, i note that private initiative played a huge role here small and medium-sized businesses should not be forgotten, we avoided excessive administrative regulation shifting the economy towards the state. what is more important, the economic recession

last year was recorded only in the second quarter already in the third and fourth quarters there was growth, rise. 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 the supply of raw materials abroad, but 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 increase in domestic demand is sure. 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 full

picture, we understand the structural problems that we need to solve in logistics , technology, finance in personnel. we have been talking a lot, well, a lot about the need to change the structure of our economy in recent years. and now these changes. this is a vital necessity. and it changes changes 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. 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. this really. 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. resentment, omissions and other nonsense. everything to delete the case everything for the result. this should be everything on the body of the successful start of russian companies of 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 victory is the contribution of everyone. 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 moscow-kazan expressway 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 we will develop ports in southeast asia, the black sea and the sea of ​​azov, and we will pay special attention. well, we devote those who are engaged in this and you know on a daily basis, but we will devote the corridor to the international corridor north, south, already this year the volga will be able to pass the caspian canal here with a draft of at least 4.5 m, this will open new

routes for business cooperation with india iran pakistan countries of the middle east we will continue to develop this corridor our plans accelerated modernization of the eastern direction of railways trans-siberian, imam 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. the infrastructure of the regions for the development of infrastructure, including telecommunications, the road network, already in the next 2024, at least 85% of the roads in the country's largest glomerations, as well as more than half of the roads of regional and inter- municipal significance, will be brought to a standard state. i'm sure we'll make it we will continue and the free gasification program

has already been decided to extend it to social facilities, kindergartens and schools , hospital polyclinics, fetal obstetric centers, and for citizens such a program will now operate on an ongoing basis. they can always apply for a connection. they will be able to apply for connecting their homes to the gas supply networks. this year , a large program for the construction and repair of housing and communal services systems will begin. it is planned to invest in this area within 10 years. at least 4.5 trillion rub. 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

. the industrial mortgage tool has been launched. and now a soft loan. it will be possible to borrow not only for the purchase of production space, but for their construction or modernization , the amount of such a loan, well, they discussed a multiple increase, they wanted to, but a decent amount for as a first step very good. the amount of such a loan is up to five to five hundred million rubles, it is represented by the supply of 3 or 5% for up to 7 years. it seems to me a very uh, good program and should be used. it's good to be sad. but with me in roaming is more profitable, do not change the tariff. just choose

another opera in the app to nastya in your favor. on your side and why? you can enjoy new technology without socks for 9.99 in video or eldorado 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 is reduced, and the demand for their innovative products, which are just entering the market, is supported by long-term orders and subsidies from the state for ratings by ratings. 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 investment is expected to be about two trillion. i pay attention.

these are not just forecasts, but clearly established benchmarks. therefore, i ask the governments to speed up the launch of these projects as much as possible. to give business a shoulder to offer systemic support measures, including tax incentives, i know how, uh, the financial block likes to provide benefits and partially share such a position, the taxation system should even be holistic without any exceptions, but uh, creative approach in this case is in demand so starting 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 the government make a proposal on the list of such equipment by industries in which it is used and in order to provide benefits, the third most important question is yes this is a good decision 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, also about this we talk a lot thanks to the strong balance of payments in russia, there is no need to borrow abroad, bow to beg for money, and then conduct a long dialogue about what, how much and

under what conditions to give domestic banks operate stably and steadily have a solid margin of safety in 2022, the volume of bank loans in the corporate sector has grown. you see, there were a lot of concerns about this. but growth is fixed. 14%. this is more than in 2021 and any military operation. in 2021, the growth was, uh, the growth was then 11.7%, and now the 14th mortgage portfolio has also added 240% . yes, it is not as big as previous years, but decent profits 203

billion rubles this is also an indicator of the stability of the russian financial sector, according to inflation estimates already in the second quarter of this year. 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. so loans for the real sector should become more accessible everywhere in the world . long-term savings of citizens are an important source of non-investment resources. and we also need to stimulate their inflow into the investment sphere. i ask the governments to expedite the submission

of draft laws to the state duma for the launching of the state program as early as april of this year, it is important to create additional conditions for citizens to invest money and earn money at home within the country. at the same time, it is necessary to guarantee the safety of citizens' investments in voluntary pension funds. accumulation. here there should be the same mechanism as in the system of insurance of bank deposits; let me remind you of such deposits of citizens in the amount of up to 1 million 400,000 rubles. they are insured by the state and their return is guaranteed for voluntary pension savings, i propose to set twice the amount up to 2 million 800,000 rubles. it is also necessary to protect citizens' investments in other long-term and investment instruments, including from the possible bankruptcy

of financial intermediaries. individual solutions required for raising capital fast-growing high-tech businesses they will be provided with support for the placement of shares on the domestic stock market, including tax incentives, both for the company and for buyers of such shares . the most important elements of economic sovereignty are freedom of enterprise. i repeat, it is private business against the background of external attempts to contain russia that has proved that it can adapt to a rapidly changing contour. yes, you are not under simple conditions to ensure economic growth, therefore, each business initiative aimed at benefit in the country should receive support. to return to the question of a number of revisions of the norms of criminal law in terms of the so

-called economic offenses, of course. of course, the state must control what is happening in this area, permissiveness cannot be allowed here , but there is no need to go too far, it is also necessary to move more actively towards this decriminalization, about which i said i hope that the government, together with the parliament, law enforcement agencies , business associations, will be followers and thoroughly carry out this work, at the same time. i ask governments, in close contact with parliament, to propose additional measures that will speed up the economic process. businesses primarily included their sectors and industries must operate in russian jurisdiction. this is the basic principle. well, in this regard, dear colleagues. eh, so small.

philosophical digression what i would like to say separately in this regard, we remember, we remember what problems and imbalances the late soviet economy faced, therefore, after the collapse of the soviet union, its planned system in the chaos of the nineties , the country began to create an economy based on market relations of private property. well, in general, everything is correct in many respects , western countries of advisers served as an example here. as you know, there was a pond here and it seemed enough just to copy their models. they are among themselves. right now they are arguing. i remember europeans arguing with americans there. how to develop in the russian economy. and what happened as a result, our national economy has largely become oriented precisely backwards, and above

all, as a source. yes, the nuances, of course , were different, but in general, as a source of raw materials , the reasons for this are also understandable, the new emerging russian business was naturally targeted, like all other businesses. in all other countries, they are primarily aimed at making a profit, and fast and easy. what brought her? well, this is the very sale of oil , gas, metals, forests, few people thought about it, and maybe there was no such opportunity to invest in a long one, so others are more complex sectors of the economy developed poorly and in order to break this negative trend, but everyone saw great in all governments, but to break this trend, it took us years to adjust the tax system and large-scale public investment. we have achieved real

visible change here. yes, there is a result, however , i repeat, it must be taken into account. in what situation did our first of all large business develop? technologies in the west are cheaper financial sources and profitable markets in the west, of course, and capital is flowing away on the table. there and unfortunately, instead of going to expand production to buy technology equipment to create new jobs here in russia, they , among other things, spent money on foreign estates, yachts , luxury real estate, yes, then they began to invest. so in development. naturally. well, at the first stage everything is there. the broad stream went away to a large extent. here, for these purposes, for consumption, and where there is wealth. there naturally and children their

education. there their lives are their future and trace to prevent such a development situation, the state was very difficult, but almost impossible. we lived parallel to the free market. recent events have convincingly shown the image of the west as a safe harbor and a haven of capital turned out to be a fascist ghost and those who did not understand this in time, who considered russia or as a source of income, but planned to live. mostly overseas lost a lot of them. they simply robbed even legally earned money. somehow, as a joke, many remember, probably, he addresses the representatives of russian business. i said you're tormented swallow dust running through the courts and offices of western officials. saving your money exactly, that's how it all happened. and you know, now

i will add a very important, simple, but very important thing. believe me, none of the ordinary citizens of the country. he did not regret those who lost their capital in foreign banks. he did not feel sorry for those who lost yachts of palaces abroad and so on and so forth, and in conversations in the kitchen, people probably remembered the privatization of the nineties, when enterprises created throughout the country went for nothing and ostentatious demonstrative luxury, so-called new orders. what else is fundamentally important all the years after the collapse of the soviet union, the west did not stop trying to set fire to the post-soviet states

and , most importantly, finally finish russia off . used means of economic deterrence and suppression. and large russian business, for why am i saying all this, and large russian business is responsible for the work of strategic enterprises for thousands of labor collectives determines the socio-economic situation in many regions, which means that the state of affairs, when the leaders and owners of such a business, are dependent on the government, which pursue an unfriendly policy in with regard to russia , the danger for our country and this situation poses a great threat to us. it cannot be tolerated. yes, everyone has

a choice, someone wants to live his life in the arrested mansion with blocked accounts. it comes across to find a place that would be an attractive western capital or resort. in another warm place abroad, this is the right of any person. we don’t even encroach on it, but it’s time to understand that for the west such people were and will remain second-class strangers with whom you can do whatever you want, money and connections and bought titles of counts of peers. and mayors. absolutely no help here, they must understand, they are second-class there. but if another choice be with to work for our homeland for compatriots

, not only to open new enterprises, but also to change life around us in cities and towns in our country, and we have many such entrepreneurs, such real fighters in business. they are the future of domestic business. and the future should be only here in our native country in russia and then we will really create a solid self-sufficient economy that does not close itself off from the world, but use all its competitive advantages, russian capital, the money that is received here should work for the country for its national development. today, we have great prospects in the development of infrastructure,

the manufacturing industry of domestic tourism in many other industries. i want to be heard by those who are faced with wolf habits. west trying to run with outstretched hand is pointless. and most importantly. it's useless, especially. now that you understand well who you are dealing with. now you should not cling to the past, try to sue something , beg, you need to rebuild your life work. moreover, you strong people addressed the representatives of our business. i know many, personally and for many years, strong people who have gone through a difficult life school. well start new projects. earn, invest in russia, invest jobs in the enterprise, help schools and universities of science and health, culture and sports in this way and

increase your capital and earn recognition of the gratitude of people, but the generation ahead, and the state and society will certainly support you. we will consider that this is a parting word to our business, you are building work in the right direction, dear colleagues, russia is an open country and, at the same time, a distinctive civilization. in this statement. there is no claim to exclusivity and superiority. but this is our civilization. this is the main thing that our ancestors passed it on to us, and we

must preserve it for our descendants and pass it on, we will continue to develop cooperation with friends, with everyone ready to work together. we will adopt all the best, but rely primarily on our own potential, the creative energy of the russian society on their traditions and values. and here i want to talk about the character of our people. he has always been distinguished by generosity, breadth of soul, mercy and compassion, and russia as a country fully reflects in itself these traits we are able to. we know how to be friends and keep our word we will not let anyone down and will always support in difficult situations without hesitation we come to the aid of those who are in trouble. uh, everyone remembers how during a pandemic. we were the first to, in fact, provided support to some european countries, including italy, by another state in the most difficult, mm. most difficult weeks of the outbreak, we will not forget avito, and

how we come to the rescue. uh, in the event of an earthquake in syria in turkey, it is the people of russia that are the basis of the country's sovereignty, the source of power, the rights and freedom of our citizens , they are unshakable guaranteed by the constitution and despite external challenges and threats. we will not deviate from them in this regard, i want to emphasize. in this regard, i want to emphasize that the elections to local and regional authorities . this september and the presidential elections in 2024 will be held in strict accordance with the law in compliance with all democratic constitutional procedures. the choice is always different approaches to solving social economic problems. at the same time , the leading political forces are consolidated and

united in the main thing, and most importantly, fundamental for all of us is the security and well-being of the people, sovereignty and national interests. i want to thank you for such a responsible and firm position and recall the words of the patriot and statesman pyotr arkadyevich. stolypin, they were said in the state duma more than 100 years ago, but in full in tune with our times. he said in the defense of russia we must all join forces to coordinate our duties and our rights in order to uphold one historical supreme right, the right of russia to be strong.
