The government has written off the debts of seven regions.
The total write-off amounted to almost 12.5 billion rubles. The authorities of Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal Territory, the Kirov, Novgorod, Penza, Pskov regions and the Chukotka Autonomous Region will be able to use the released funds for promising economic projects, business support, the development of the urban environment and the implementation of master plans in the cities of the Far East and the Arctic.
This mechanism has proven its effectiveness in practice. Its active use is constantly expanding.
- said Prime Minister Mikhail Meshustin.
In general, this year the scope of this support to the regions reached 300 billion rubles.
