The Southern Federal District (SFD), supervised by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, is one of the most dynamically developing in Russia. It includes eight subjects: Krasnodar Krai, Rostov, Volgograd and Astrakhan Regions, the Republics of Adygea, Kalmykia, Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The district is famous for its warm climate, developed agriculture, resorts on the Black Sea and Azov coasts and developed industry. Key transport hubs are located here, as well as million-plus cities – Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. The SFD plays an important role in tourism, energy and logistics of the country. The development of the district is facilitated, among other things, by the financial support mechanism – infrastructure budget (IBK) and special treasury loans (STC).
"Infrastructure budget and special treasury loans have become a powerful tool for regional development, ensuring not only the construction of key facilities, but also a comprehensive socio-economic effect. Thanks to these measures, large-scale projects are being implemented that create new jobs, stimulate the development of related industries and increase the investment attractiveness of territories. The Southern Federal District successfully combines a resort and recreational zone with industrial and agro-industrial clusters, millions of tourists come here every year, so it is extremely important to change the appearance of these regions for the better. Since 2022, projects within the IBC and SCC have contributed to attracting about 283.56 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investments," said Marat Khusnullin.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest volume of housing commissioning thanks to the IBC and SKK projects is observed in Krasnodar Krai – 1.09 million sq. m, Rostov Oblast – 421 thousand sq. m and Volgograd Oblast – 394 thousand sq. m.
Starting this year, in continuation of the IBC program, treasury infrastructure loans (TIL) are being launched, which will also be designed to improve the quality of the living environment on favorable terms for the regions. The Presidium of the Government Commission for Regional Development has begun work on approving applications from regions. In particular, projects in the Southern Federal District will be implemented at the expense of TIL.
In the Volgograd Region, an application for the construction of a water supply system in the Sovetsky, Kirovsky and Krasnoarmeysky districts of Volgograd and water supply networks in the central-western part of the city has been approved. In the Rostov Region, a treasury infrastructure loan will be used to reconstruct the storm sewer system of Rostov-on-Don. In the Krasnodar Territory, funds are planned to be used for the reconstruction of treatment facilities with a capacity of 100 thousand cubic meters per day in Anapa, the construction of a sewage pumping station, a pressure pipeline and a main sewer collector with a capacity of 400 thousand cubic meters per day in Krasnodar.
First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin noted that in the regions of the Southern Federal District, 93 projects and events have already been completed within the framework of the IBC and SKK mechanisms, including the delivery of new public transport.
"89 projects and events have been implemented through the IBC, including the Zapadnaya Chord highway in the Rostov Region, the reconstruction of the 110 kV Severnaya substation in Simferopol, Republic of Crimea, with an increase in the number of feeder lines. Under the SKK mechanism, 4 projects have been completed, including the construction of a sewer collector in Rostov-on-Don, a major overhaul of almost 14 km of a water pipeline in the Saksky District of the Republic of Crimea, and the construction of the Dakhovskaya-Deguakskaya Polyana road in the Republic of Adygea, leading to a tourist and recreational park. These projects not only improve transport and utility infrastructure, but also create conditions for sustainable development of regions," said Alexander Lomakin.
Thanks to IBC and SKK, 163 buses were sent to the routes of Krasnodar Krai, 112 trolleybuses and 143 buses were delivered to Volgograd Oblast, 158 buses to Rostov Oblast, 50 buses to the Republic of Adygea, 18 buses to Sevastopol, and 10 buses to the Republic of Kalmykia.
Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund, reported that work involving funds from the IBC and SKK continues in all eight regions of the district.
"In total, 46 objects and events are currently underway in the Southern Federal District with the use of infrastructure budget and special treasury loans. Of these, 2 objects are social infrastructure, 4 are road infrastructure, 40 are utility infrastructure, including two large group water pipelines that supply water to several settlements at once – to Kabardinka and Yeisk in Krasnodar Krai. They will help significantly improve the water supply to local residents and city guests," said Vasily Kupyzin.
The curator of the budget loan program is the Ministry of Construction, and the operator is the Territorial Development Fund.
