Marat Khusnullin: More than 8,000 families have returned to preferential mortgage rates for individual housing construction.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

More than 8,000 borrowers who failed to complete their homes within the 12-month deadline have returned to preferential mortgage rates. This was made possible by a government decision extending the deadline for completing private home construction without a contractor from 12 to 24 months, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"For families building a home on their own using a preferential mortgage, a long-awaited support measure has been adopted, making the program terms more convenient and flexible. The key change is the extension of the construction and title deed period from 12 to 24 months. This has led to an extension of the preferential rate, which is one of the most popular measures among citizens. We see that people are increasingly attracted to living in their own home, and our goal is to support them in this choice. Borrowers now have not one, but two years to complete their home, significantly facilitating their desire to own a home. Thanks to this government decision, more than 8,000 families who have already completed construction have been able to return to preferential terms on their loans," said Marat Khusnullin.

Before the changes came into effect, if a house wasn't built and registered within 12 months, the preferential mortgage rate was replaced with the market rate. The decision to extend the term to 24 months was made in response to numerous citizen requests.

This innovation isn't the only one this year. For example, as of March 1, the reform of the individual housing construction (IHC) market for private homes began using the protective mechanism of escrow accounts when applying for mortgages under government-supported programs.

You not only teach, but also cultivate true patriots and remarkable individuals. You do this masterfully, fulfilling the national goal set by the President of realizing the potential and talents of every person in our country. Together, we are a huge team of like-minded individuals. And together, thanks to the national project 'Youth and Children,' we are making our entire education system even better, more modern, and more effective," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov warmly congratulated the teachers.

"Dear teachers, happy Teacher's Day! This year is significant for us. It's the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the Year of Defender of the Fatherland. And today, you, education workers, are at the forefront of the information war. The future of our children and our country depends on you. We extend our sincere gratitude for your work.

We are the strongest education system in the world. I am confident that the winner, the finalists, and all the participants will play a huge role in the life of our country—they will become leading experts, teachers, and scientists," Viktor Sadovnichy told the teachers.

Financial News: Improving Credit Institution Reporting: A Public Consultation Report

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The regulator proposes that credit institutions in the future submit information to the Bank of Russia not in the form of reporting forms, but in the form of data sets linked by a single model.

The collection of individual types of detailed data can be implemented in such a way that the main body of information is collected once, and then only updated data is presented.

Among the promising methods for operational work with big data, the organization of direct access by the Bank of Russia to the data marts of credit institutions in real time is being considered.

Application of the approaches outlined in the report "Improving the collection of reports from credit institutions", will reduce the frequency of changes made to reports and the number of requests sent by the Bank of Russia, while significantly increasing analytical potential, quality and speed of data delivery.

Responses to the questions presented in the report, as well as comments and suggestions regarding it, can be sent to the Bank of Russia up to and including October 31, 2025.

Changing approaches to collecting data from credit institutions will also be discussed at the Innovative Technologies Forum. Finopolis, which will take place from October 8 to 10, 2025.
