Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a meeting of the presidium (headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development. Participants discussed preliminary results of work within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life", issues of cash execution under programs, and also considered the next applications for financing projects with the involvement of funds from treasury infrastructure loans (TIL).
"The construction industry faces an important task of ensuring the availability of housing throughout the country, especially in key settlements, and linking this with the Spatial Development Strategy and master plans. In addition to maintaining the high rate of commissioning of multi-apartment and individual housing, it is important to continue working more actively to involve unused land plots into circulation, as well as to increase urban development potential. I ask the regions to more actively join these tasks. In general, the implementation of key indicators across the country is proceeding as usual. The Saratov and Penza regions, Perm Krai, the Republic of Tatarstan, Adygea, Buryatia, and the Chechen Republic consistently maintain high positions and are among the leaders in traffic lights. We see positive dynamics in road activities. Since the beginning of the year, almost 4 thousand km of regional and local roads have been commissioned, which is 676 km more than last year. 45 regions in the “green” zone, including Belgorod, Kaliningrad, Penza regions, the city of Sevastopol and the Republic of Mari El, have fulfilled the road paving plan,” said Marat Khusnullin.
In his report, Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin spoke about the systemic work of the Russian Ministry of Construction to reduce the procedures of the investment and construction cycle, about the measures taken to prevent the growth of prices for construction resources and about the applications received from the regions to participate in the selection of infrastructure projects to receive treasury infrastructure loans for their implementation.
"To measure the duration of the investment and construction cycle, the Russian Ministry of Construction has introduced a monitoring system that allows for quarterly measurement of actual construction periods. Regions are developing and implementing comprehensive plans to reduce the procedures of the investment and construction cycle. The Russian Ministry of Construction has studied international experience, translated national standards of the People's Republic of China, which are planned to be included in the federal register by the end of the year," said Irek Faizullin.
During the meeting, the presidium of the government commission reviewed applications for treasury infrastructure loans. The curator of the CIC program is the Ministry of Construction of Russia, the operator is the public-law company "Fund for Development of Territories".
"All projects approved under the treasury infrastructure loans are important for the comprehensive development of regions and improving the standard of living of Russians. Most of the projects, after completion of the work, will help provide local residents with high-quality utilities, improve transport accessibility and the environment. A number of projects will be implemented in key settlements. Today, the headquarters approved 13 projects, including 28 objects in the Khabarovsk, Kamchatka, Zabaikalsky Krais, Ivanovo, Novgorod Regions, the Republics of Sakha (Yakutia) and Buryatia, for a total of 14.67 billion rubles. The projects will be provided within the limits for the modernization of housing and communal services, for the development of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic, and for the implementation of large infrastructure projects on behalf of the President of Russia. In addition, within the framework of the competitive selection, 5 investment projects were considered in the Kaliningrad, Voronezh and Amur regions, Zabaikalsky Krai for a total CIC amount of about 16.9 billion rubles and, thus, the final list of 20 projects in 17 regions was approved. The total CIC amount for projects under the competition within the first stage amounted to about 77 billion rubles. The regional teams are now faced with the task of implementing the planned projects on time, because this determines how life in our regions will change in the coming years," noted Marat Khusnullin.
