after writing off budget loans, the ministry of finance finally took this step, i think it is justified in modern conditions and will help all active participants in economic activity, i will say more about this later. in addition, i am confident that the regions will support investors directly through their budgetary capabilities, and these are also growing in the regions. let me emphasize that what i said concerns. tax deduction in the constituent entities of the federation. in addition to it, a federal deduction will be introduced as part of the reconfiguration of the tax system, the purpose of which is to stimulate business investment in development, achieve greater social justice, reduce inequality between citizens. in the near future, together with business associations, it is necessary to determine such parameters and volumes of the federal investment deduction so that it becomes... an effective, widely sought-after

tool. returning to the work of the constituent entity of the federation to support business activity, i will note such a mechanism as the regional investment standard. its task, based on the requests and recommendations of business, is to provide uniform principles for attracting investors to throughout the country. that is, in each region, create a universal investment... ecosystem, create a clear algorithm of actions for business, for locating production, and such support measures, of course, are available to all of us and are in demand; today , the regional investment standard has been implemented in all subjects of the federation , specialized specialists responsible for interaction with investors have been trained, dear colleagues, friends, i would like to thank

the regional teams and business associations, government for the work done. i know that there is a proposal to enshrine the investment standard in legislation. i suggest the government discuss this topic with the business community and regions. at the same time , i would like to emphasize that now the task is, as they say, to promote this mechanism and actively apply it in practice. this is our goal for the near future. in this direction, and for those teams that achieve the best results here, i think it is necessary to provide incentive mechanisms at the level of the government of the russian federation. i note that the launch of the regional investment standard allowed many subjects of the federation to make a breakthrough in the national ranking of the investment climate. by tradition, its results are presented at our forum. i'll tell you a little more about them. for the last year. thanks to the exchange of experience and

replication of leadership practices, 74 regions of russia improved their integral index, which is much more than a year earlier. among the regions that showed the best dynamics are the republic of buryatia, mordovia, as well as the lipetsk, ryazan, and arkhangelsk regions. i i congratulate my colleagues on the results achieved and wish you further success. i will add that we will improve the national investment climate rating, including exchanging advanced solutions in this area with our brix partners. in addition, at a recent meeting of the supervisory board of the agency for strategic initiatives , they agreed to refine the rating methodology and use it as a basis. a national model

of target business conditions, this is our improved and more objective analogue of international ratings. dear colleagues, the third most important structural change that we are seeking is a new quality of the labor market. today in russia unemployment is at a record low; in april it was only 2.6%, which... it is especially important that we have reduced its so-called structural component, that is, youth unemployment has significantly decreased in those regions and settlements where it was historically high. even 15-20 years ago, the main question was how to find a job, now where to find personnel. in these conditions it is important. tune

the vocational education system to respond to the needs of the labor market, to train modern, in-demand specialists, to create opportunities for workers to improve their professional skills. level throughout the entire working career, for this we form a forecast of the personnel needs of the domestic economy, on its basis, on its basis, on its basis, a transformed system of professional education and development. by the end of the current decade , the share of skilled employment in our labor market should increase, that is, specialists working in industries with high added value, and therefore... with higher wages, i repeat, the task of the personnel development system is to ensure such a transformation. the federal professionalism project plays a big role here; it has already made it possible to begin modernizing the material and technical base

of colleges, technical schools, and update educational programs for aircraft and shipbuilding, pharmaceuticals, electronics, defense and other industries. for these areas... by 2028, we will have to train about a million blue-collar specialists, we this has already been talked about many times, i just want to remind you about it today. as for higher education, in the next 10 years 40 university campuses will appear in russia with advanced conditions for study, research, living and working of students. i will emphasize again that we will evaluate the work of universities, russian universities, colleges, technical schools, because of how in demand their graduates are, how their wages are growing, while our economy needs not only young personnel, but experienced, knowledgeable specialists who themselves

are competent in their field, and can teach their colleagues a lot, become real mentors for them, in this regard, it is important... to support the desire of people who have reached retirement age to continue working, to be useful, their knowledge, skills, competencies are an important resource for the economy and social sphere, what are we talking about, we are talking about the level of wages of working pensioners, we have been discussing this topic for a long time, we just talked about this... with the governor of st. petersburg at a meeting right before our meeting, i want to talk about decision, which was raised more than once during my meetings with citizens, due to financial and budgetary restrictions, in past years there was no indexation of pensions for working

pensioners, during this time the issue that concerns millions of our citizens, as they say, has become urgent, and today we have... the resources to begin solving it in the interests of people. i propose to resume indexation of pensions for working pensioners starting next year. from february 1, 2025 onwards , pensions will be increased annually not only for those who have already retired, but also those who continue to work.

challenges we face, an objective shortage of personnel, the most important conditions for achieving high rates of economic growth are associated with increasing labor productivity, this is the most important resource. today i already spoke about the need to increase investment and update our enterprises. it is important to ensure this on a qualitatively new technological basis with widespread use of automation. so russia should enter the top 20 in a short time. 5 countries in the world in terms of robotization density, these are means the installation of more than 100,000 robots, and their production needs to be rapidly developed in our country using our own technological base, and we certainly have this opportunity, while it is also important

to increase the efficiency of existing equipment and technological processes. the key tool here is the dissemination of lean production methods; such work is carried out within the framework of a national profile. federal projects included in it within the framework of the new national project for an efficient and competitive economy. moreover, it is necessary to expand this practice in order to involve at least 40% of medium-sized large enterprises in basic non-resource sectors of the economy, as well as all state and municipal social organizations, in projects to increase labor productivity by 2030. for enterprises, companies. this will mean increasing production output, improving the quality of services, and

more comfortable working conditions for their employees, and of course, increasing wages. let me remind you that over the next 6 years they should increase at a rate higher than the tax rate. domestic, gross domestic product, sorry. the fifth structural change is a true digital, platform revolution. under normal conditions, labor productivity is directly related to digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence technologies. by 2030, we will have to create digital platforms in all key sectors of the economy and social sphere. these tasks will be solved within the framework of the new national project data economy. i will add that in the next 6 years, at least 80% of russian organizations in key sectors of the economy. should in production management

processes, to support the it industry, we will provide a number of measures, including taking into account with increased coefficients, the coefficient of expenses for domestic digital solutions when calculating income tax, and we will also establish a reduced income tax rate of 5% for russian it companies, it will be valid until 2000 1930 inclusive, i ask the government to work out additional measures to support domestic software developers, including determine the level of purchases of companies with state participation from small technology companies and startups, i repeat, this is the guaranteed level below which the volume of purchases cannot fall, we are already using this mechanism and it works quite effectively, it is necessary... i note that over the last

5 years, due to the elimination of administrative barriers and clearly excessive requirements, the duration of the investment and construction cycle has decreased by almost half; i will not now list everything that has been done, a lot has been done, but there is still work to be done. we will continue this work so that more roads, bridges, plants and factories are built in russia, and, of course, comfortable affordable housing with high modern energy and resource efficiency parameters. in this regard, the housing and communal services sector and road construction have enormous potential, including the use of secondary resources, the use of so-called smart solutions and green standards based on advanced ones.

within 6 years, we plan to enter the top ten world leaders in terms of research and development volume, internal costs for these purposes should increase to at least 2%. in such key areas as production and automation equipment, new materials, chemistry, advanced space services, energy technologies and a number of others. in these projects , a whole range of solutions will be implemented, from the popularization of science and training to...

the implementation of positive trends, of course, are indicated, so in the first 4 months of this year alone, almost 8,000 applications for inventions and 3,500 applications for on utility models, primarily on areas critical for our country in the field of metallurgy, energy,

transport, building engines, it is extremely important to ensure the protection of the intellectual... property of our developers, as well as the commercial effectiveness of their solutions, so that inventions do not lie on the shelf, but go through the entire chain from procurement to its implementation in a specific product, including the possibility of transferring patents for scientific developments, well, some experts believe that from the customer, as their creator, as well as small innovative enterprises and technology companies that know how to commercialize... someone paid for certain inventions should not be allowed legal arbitrariness, if they are the owner, this is obvious, but it is necessary to create such a soft and market

mechanism for the use of these inventions so that they didn't fall on the shelves on this one. very difficult, let me remind you that some colleagues chuckled and said that this was an unrealistic goal, today we can confidently say that this goal has been achieved and achieved ahead of schedule. our entrepreneurs, including the younger generation, are confident, gaining momentum,

occupying the market, and launching production of products that are often superior. foreign in its characteristics, in addition, russian business understands that its own trademark becomes evidence of quality and solid economic assets; the number of such applications for clothing and footwear, software in the field of pharmaceuticals, household chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, confectionery , and so on is growing further and so on. in last year, more than 143,000 trademark applications were filed, twice as many. than in pre-covid 2019. by the way, the process of registering a trademark in russia is one of the most convenient and fastest in the world. it is completely digitized. the application review period is 4 months. based on its results, an electronic security certificate is issued. what is especially important

is that more and more often, original, regional, local brands are being registered. this is definitely true. respect for the culture and traditions of our peoples, evidence of the pride of entrepreneurs in their small homeland, for the region where they do their business, and of course, business sees that people want, they want to buy domestic goods made in russia. by the way, many of the regional brands belong to the so-called creative industries; more than half of the federal subjects are already systematically promoting their development. i ask that already in the spring parliamentary session, a federal law be adopted that will establish a clear legal framework for the creative industry and in the future will allow us to establish general standards for its support. we we will create all the conditions for small and medium-sized companies in our country to grow even faster. we will increase the effectiveness of existing support measures, as well as

offer new ones in addition to them. i would like to note that it plays a significant role. the so-called marketplaces play a role in the development of start-up, small-scale businesses; together with the russian post, they form a modern infrastructure, a kind of circulatory system for the delivery of domestic products, allowing companies, even in remote cities and towns, to gain access to the large market of russia and everything eurasian economic union. i ask my colleagues in the government to pay special attention to the development of such commodity flows during sales.

especially, almost all participants in the competition in general, many domestic entrepreneurs support military personnel and veterans of a special military operation, their families, relatives of our heroes, send their products to the unit, buy things, equipment, help hospitals, such a high understanding of social mission, responsibility, patriotism in the most direct and best way. sense this word is certainly very valuable and deserves great respect, thank you,

dear colleagues, the next, eighth most important structural change is related to unlocking the potential of russian regions, this is a new geography of development, creating growth points in cities, towns, throughout the country, opportunities for... people not only in capitals, but in small towns, in rural areas , to acquire a profession, find a good, well -paid job or run their own business, realize themselves, live, raise children in comfortable, modern conditions. in the next year, new national projects and state programs will be launched to develop education and healthcare systems, sports, culture, to improve the environmental well-being of our...

developments, but deserve attention and support, and there are positive examples, for example, the move to the roshydra company from moscow to krasnoyarsk, and of course, it is important to concentrate resources on promising growth points, this is exactly the approach provided within the framework of master plans for the far eastern and arctic regions, we agreed to approve similar programs and documents for... 200 more settlements, these will include all regional centers, as well as cities that play an important role in strengthening the technological sovereignty

of russia. for powerful, long-term development of the regions, it is important to eliminate restrictions in the energy and transport systems, to build and repair roads, engineering and utility networks; for the implementation of such projects, the subjects of the federation receive infrastructure and budget loans. as i already said, starting next year their volume will be increased, this portfolio will grow by no less than 250 billion rubles annually, in general , by the end of 2030, the amount of issued infrastructure budget loans will be 2.5 trillion rubles, and the funds will be distributed not only on the basis of limits for each subject of the federation, but by. ..

to use, you need to work out all the details here and not, of course, introduce bureaucratic barriers, not allow abuse or theft from cities, towns, land plots, of course, you need to think through it, but it’s definitely absolutely necessary with this do something. i am confident that an effective solution to this problem will not only improve the urban environment and make the lives of citizens more comfortable, but will directly increase the capitalization of city assets and attract small medium-sized businesses. developers with interesting residential development projects. in this regard , two words about mortgage lending. as you know, we have extended the family mortgage until 2030. all russian families with children under 6 years of age can receive a preferential loan at a rate of 6%. i offer here additional social, special solutions, well, in the social sphere for families who live or want to buy housing in

small towns. cities or regions where the volume of housing construction is still insufficient, here families with two children will be able to take advantage of a family mortgage at 6%, regardless of the age of the children, the only condition is that at least one child in the family is a minor at the time of registration of the mortgage, and other such preferential mortgage terms will... apply in all regions of russia, for each, for each family who want to build their own home, for each families who want to build their own home, this is especially important for large, large families, i ask the government to launch these programs as early as july 1 of this year, i will add that in order to improve the appearance of cities, we will continue the all-russian competition for the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment,

as well as let's launch the programs: yes, yes, yes, she, she, she is popular, this program really gets a good backlash from people. we will launch a program for the construction and improvement of embankments and parks. a separate direction will be restoration and reconstruction of cultural and historical heritage sites. by 2030 , at least a thousand such facilities must be installed and put in order throughout the country, giving them a second life so that they serve people. uh served to save money, strengthen our identity, decorate cities and villages, and increase their tourist attractiveness. the development of domestic tourism is one of the priorities of our long-term strategy. over 6 years, the share of the tourism industry in gross domestic product should increase to 5%. and the number of trips around the country with accommodation hotels will grow to 140 million people.

we will create a comfortable one. and affordable recreational facilities, including the development of hotels and small campgrounds, ski resorts and amusement parks. our economic and social policy measures must be not only effective, but fair, in this sense, the next ninth structural shift is a reduction in poverty, a reduction in inequality, an increase in the income of russian families, which in turn directly affects the quality of life of people, an increase.

how it is defined.
