Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting of the subcommittee on increasing the stability of the financial sector and individual sectors of the economy. The situation in agricultural engineering and the work of individual systemically important organizations were discussed.

The event was attended by the Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, the Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut, the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Zhukov, the Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Nikolai Zhuravlev, the President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Alexander Shokhin, representatives of federal authorities, the Central Bank of Russia, heads and representatives of investment banks, development institutions, industry companies, and parliamentarians.

The meeting participants reviewed the current situation in terms of production and sales of domestic agricultural machinery. It was noted that the measures to support the industry agreed upon at previous meetings of the subcommittee help maintain the sustainability of its work. These include preferential leasing, lending and subsidies, deferrals of payment of the recycling fee, and the possibility for farmers to purchase domestic machinery at discounts.

In addition, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture is working on the issue of increasing the rate of subsidizing loans issued for the purchase of agricultural machinery. The participants of the meeting agreed that as demand for agricultural machinery stabilizes, and subsidizing loans are launched in the near future, there is currently no need to introduce additional measures to support the industry.

Alexander Novak instructed the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to continue monitoring the situation in the agricultural engineering sector and to promptly propose solutions to ensure the development of the industry.

The Deputy Prime Minister also instructed federal authorities to promptly monitor the situation at all systemically important enterprises to ensure their sustainable operation in the current economic conditions.

"Previously adopted support measures are working successfully and have begun to produce a positive effect from implementation. We continue to monitor the situation, if necessary, we will fine-tune the current measures and return to the issue of developing new mechanisms," emphasized Alexander Novak.

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia continues to work on implementing the decisions taken at the strategic session on the development of the creative economy in the Government of the Russian Federation. One of the key documents will be the Strategy for the Development of the Creative Economy until 2036. It will be based, among other things, on the opinions and practices of the business community. For this purpose, the Center for Strategic Research is conducting a business survey.

Representatives of companies, industry associations, public and expert organizations, as well as individual entrepreneurs and the self-employed can take part in the survey. The best regional practices for developing the creative economy will also be analyzed.

An open dialogue with business is a key part of preparing a strategy, says Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

"Systematic work on developing the creative economy is already underway. In 2024, a federal law on the development of creative industries was adopted, and since 2025, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has been officially vested with the functions of a regulator in this area. Developing a long-term strategy is the next logical step. Already during the strategic session, we received proposals from State Duma deputies, specialized associations and experts. But the key part of this work is an open dialogue with businesses and the professional community. The survey conducted by the Center for Strategic Research is one of the most important feedback tools. Its results will form the basis for decisions and mechanisms aimed at creating conditions for the sustainable growth of creative industries in Russia," Tatyana Ilyushnikova emphasized.

To take into account proposals and initiatives onsurvey page It is necessary to fill out a questionnaire and describe the project in detail, including its uniqueness, innovativeness and potential impact on the development of the industry. Information on possible economic effects and social significance will be of particular value. The questionnaire also includes an indication of current/required support measures (tax incentives, subsidies, grant support, educational programs, etc.).

Upon completion of the survey, CSR specialists will collect, summarize and submit proposals to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development for work on the text of the strategy.

On Wednesday, July 23, the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Maxim Reshetnikov, presented the main results of the work of special economic zones (SEZ) over the 20 years since the mechanism was created at a meeting of the President with members of the Government.

“Exactly 20 years ago, on your instructions, a law was adopted on Special Economic Zones to create new growth points in the regions and stimulate investment,” the minister noted, addressing the head of state.

Since the mechanism was launched, 59 SEZs have been created in Russia. More than 1,300 resident companies have invested 2.7 trillion rubles and created 110 thousand jobs. Today, the zones are developing in various sectors – from industry, science and logistics to tourism.

"Special economic zones respond to key business needs. It is within the framework of SEZs that production facilities are launched that ensure technological sovereignty and replace imports," emphasized Maxim Reshetnikov.

The development of SEZs has accelerated especially in the last five years. Since 2020, more than half of the zones operating today — 34 — have been created. The influx of residents during this period was a record — 561 companies. Recent examples include the production of trailers in Tatarstan, medical furniture in the Tula region, pet food in the Lipetsk region, air filters and polymer products in the Novgorod region.

The head of the department separately noted the contribution of SEZs to the development of regional economies. The zones become drivers of diversification and create highly skilled jobs. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, the level of wages at resident enterprises is often 30-50% higher than the regional average.

In 2025, six new economic zones were created in Russia, and five more were expanded. Among the new ones are a tourist zone in Kuzbass, a machine-building cluster in the Chelyabinsk region, and an industrial and logistics hub in the Novosibirsk region. Applications for opening new sites are being developed, including a tourist SEZ in Mineralnye Vody.

According to the minister, the effectiveness of the mechanism is also confirmed from the point of view of the return of state investments: "The costs of benefits and the creation of infrastructure are recouped by the growth of the tax base. As of today, the budgetary effect from the work of the SEZ has exceeded 122 billion rubles," the head of the Ministry of Economic Development reported.

During his speech, the minister outlined further priorities for the development of the mechanism. Among them are the simplification of procedures for investors, the integration of infrastructure support measures, the expansion of tourism formats, and the active attraction of foreign companies. Today, more than 100 foreign investors from 34 countries work in Russian SEZs.

"The Institute of Special Economic Zones has become an effective mechanism for the country's economic development. This is the result of the work of regional teams, constant improvement of legislation and, of course, your support," Maxim Reshetnikov noted in conclusion, addressing the President.

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has become a strategic partner of the Russian Creative Week. The forum will be held in Moscow on September 25–27 at the Russia National Center. The initiator and organizer of the event is the Creative Economy ANO.

The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation carries out functions to develop state policy and improve the regulatory framework in the creative economy, and is also engaged in developing a long-term strategy for the development of this sector.

The cooperation between the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the ANO "Creative Economy" will allow for a comprehensive discussion of the draft strategy – the fundamental document at the site of the "Russian Creative Week", key issues in the field of creative economy at the federal level, and to attract the attention of entrepreneurs to the issues of developing creative industries.

"The development of the creative economy requires a systematic approach and consideration of the positions of all participants in the process: the state, business and industry associations. The forum will create a space for uniting these views and developing joint solutions," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

President of the ANO "Creative Economy" Marina Mongush emphasized: The Ministry of Economic Development has launched the process of preparing a document that will determine how this sector will develop until 2030.

"We are actively working with colleagues, with departments, with the expert community so that the strategy takes into account not only the economic, but also the socio-cultural, value-oriented approach to the creative economy. The Russian Creative Week forum will give our joint work with the Ministry of Economic Development an additional impetus," believes the president of the ANO Creative Economy.

"Russian Creative Week" has become an effective tool for the development of the industry as a whole – this is acknowledged by experts, noting that the forum gives a powerful impetus to the growth of regional "experience economies".

"It is important for people to be part of something big, and not just stand at a machine or work in a bank branch. It is important for everyone to build their own temple and feel involved in big goals, and it is the value-oriented approach that gives this feeling and distinguishes one community of people from all the others, both in the example of a separate company and in the example of the country," emphasized the head of the Presidential Administration for Public Projects of the Russian Federation, Sergei Novikov.

Partners of the Festival-Forum "Russian Creative Week":

Official partners: Rostec State Corporation, Andrey Melnichenko Charitable Foundation.

Business partner: Aluminum Association.

Business program partner: Prosveshchenie Group of Companies.

Participating regions: Moscow, the Republic of Bashkortostan, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Tula regions.

At a meeting of the State Duma, amendments to the legislation on innovative scientific and technological centers (ISTCs), developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on instructions from the President of the Russian Federation, were adopted in the second and third readings. The draft federal law is aimed at creating flexible mechanisms for managing land plots and the infrastructure of ISTCs, as well as strengthening the role of regions in the development of innovative clusters.

The key changes to the bill in the second reading concerned the regulation of land turnover in the INTC, and the conditions for the transfer of land to companies with state participation and subjects of the Russian Federation are regulated in detail. In particular, it is envisaged that land plots can be provided to companies with state participation for ownership, lease or gratuitous use for a period of up to 49 years.

At the same time, the provision of land plots to state companies is possible only if there is a construction concept approved by the management company and a decision of the Supervisory Board of the INTC Fund. In the event of the sale of land plots, an agreement is also envisaged between the fund and the company, which will include strict obligations regarding the terms and parameters of construction, as well as liability for failure to comply with the conditions.

In turn, the subjects of the Russian Federation will be able to receive land for the implementation of infrastructure projects after coordinating their concept with the management company of the INTC and receiving approval from the Supervisory Board of the INTC Fund.

According to the First Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov, the facilities built in the INTC can only be used to implement INTC projects and provided to the fund, the management company or the project participants, which excludes misuse. In addition, mandatory state examination of design documentation is introduced for facilities built with the involvement of budget funds. The draft law separately highlights norms for increasing the involvement of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the development of the INTC.

"The subjects of the Russian Federation will be able to independently establish funds and management companies for the INTC without the mandatory participation of the federal government. The regions will also participate in coordinating strategies for the development of innovation centers, which will increase their involvement in the process," commented Maxim Kolesnikov.

Finally, for project participants – residents of the INTC – the period of extraterritoriality (the ability to work outside the borders of the INTC territory) is extended from three to five years, which will provide the INTC with sufficient time to create infrastructure to accommodate residents.

"The adoption of the amendments will create stable conditions for investors and participants of the INTC, ensure transparency in the management of land and infrastructure, and strengthen the interaction between the federal center and the regions in the development of the innovative economy. In this way, we are laying the legal foundations for the long-term development of the INTC, including such significant projects as the Vorobyovy Gory cluster. This will allow us to more actively form advanced scientific and technological centers that are competitive at the global level," emphasized Maxim Kolesnikov.

The amendments to the law on the INTC are aimed at creating a sustainable legal framework for the development of innovative infrastructure. In general, this will speed up the implementation of key projects, attract new participants and strengthen cooperation between the state, business and scientific organizations, he added.

A total of 13 INTCs have been created. They provide development of more than 40 scientific and technological areas in 12 regions (Moscow, Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, FT Sirius, Tula, Ryazan, Novgorod, Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad Regions, Primorsky Krai, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra), more than 600 residents are involved in the work of the centers.

At a plenary session on Tuesday, July 22, the State Duma supported the ratification of the protocol on amendments to the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, which provides for the creation of a special mechanism for conducting investigations and making decisions on the application or non-application of special protective, anti-dumping and compensatory measures. The protocol was signed on December 26, 2024 and submitted for consideration to the lower house of parliament by the President of the Russian Federation.

Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ilyichev reminded in his report that the said measures are intended to protect the Union's producers from unfair (dumping or subsidized) or sharply increased imports from third countries. These measures are applied in the form of duties on imported goods. "Considering that in the EAEU, production is mainly concentrated in Russia, these measures are an important tool for domestic producers, allowing them to compete on fair terms," he said.

At the same time, Russia’s partners in the EAEU, who do not have their own production and who are interested in cheap imports, do not always support initiatives to introduce measures and can block a protective measure using the right of veto, the deputy minister stated.

The current version of the Union Treaty does not contain a procedure for exiting the situation with the blocking of a protective measure. A "veto" imposed by one of the Union partners on a decision to introduce a protective measure may be in effect indefinitely. While the measure is blocked, imports from third countries continue to cause damage to Union producers, including Russian businesses.

“The amendments to the Treaty on the Union, developed at the initiative of the Russian side, establish a procedure for exiting the situation with the ‘vetting’ of protective measures with the participation of the Intergovernmental Council and the Court of the Union, as well as a time limit for it,” Vladimir Ilyichev emphasized.

The first stage of the procedure will be the consideration of the blocked measure at two meetings of the Intergovernmental Council. If an agreement is reached, no further continuation of the procedure is required, and the protective measure comes into force. At the second stage, the Commission transfers the consideration to the Court of the Union. This body, as an arbitrator, must assess whether the decision is balanced – whether the interests of both producers and consumers, who may also suffer damage from the introduction of the protective measure, are satisfied. If, after the Court of the Union, the member state does not agree with the introduction of the measure, the issue is brought to the level of the Supreme Council of the EAEU. This mechanism will be in effect for 2 years with automatic extension for subsequent two-year periods (if there are no objections from the parties).

“The set of changes provided for by the Protocol will ensure legal certainty in the issue of exiting the veto situation, speed up the decision-making process on the application of a protective measure and, accordingly, strengthen the protection of our producers from unfair or sharply increased imports,” concluded the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

Today, July 22, the mechanism of special economic zones (SEZ) turns 20 years old. During this time, they have become one of the key drivers of development of territories where the most important projects in industry, science, logistics are being implemented, and growth points in tourism are being formed. SEZs create conditions for the implementation of priority economic tasks outlined by the President of Russia.

Companies that are residents of special economic zones provide higher wages compared to regional averages. This is due to both the technological profile of enterprises and the competition for qualified specialists. According to the administrations of a number of zones, the difference in wages can reach 30-40%.

Thus, according to the results of the first quarter of 2025, the average salary at the enterprises of the Dubna SEZ residents amounted to 121.6 thousand rubles. This is approximately 15% higher than the average level in the Moscow region. According to Anton Afanasyev, General Director of JSC Dubna SEZ TVT, the zone specializes in high-tech industries – medicine, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, IT and design of complex systems – which allows creating jobs with high added value and corresponding wages.

In St. Petersburg, the difference is even more noticeable: salaries at resident enterprises exceed the city average by about 30%. As noted by Tamara Rondaleva, General Director of the St. Petersburg SEZ, this is facilitated by the concentration of knowledge-intensive and export-oriented industries in the zone: "Specialists with complex qualifications work here – developers, research associates, engineers. The growth of salaries is also affected by the competition between residents for qualified personnel."

Other regions demonstrate similar indicators. In the Titanium Valley SEZ, the average salary at operating production facilities is about 105 thousand rubles, while in the Sverdlovsk region as a whole it is 84.6 thousand. In Kaliningrad, the difference is also noticeable: the average salary at resident enterprises is approaching 83 thousand rubles, while at non-residents it is about 66 thousand.

According to Mikhail Labudin, Director of the Association of Clusters, Technology Parks and SEZs of Russia, high wages are a characteristic feature of all special economic zones: "The level of wages in SEZs traditionally exceeds the average for the manufacturing industry and other sectors by 30-40%. This is explained by the specifics of the residents themselves – as a rule, these are high-tech, capital-intensive companies focused on export and production of products with high added value. Such enterprises impose higher requirements for the qualifications of personnel, which is directly reflected in the level of wages."
