They will link it to housing prices – the State Duma wants to increase the amount of maternity capital

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Mainfin Bank –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

What innovations do LDPR deputies propose for young parents?

The amount of maternity capital for the birth of a second child may be set in an unfixed amount, depending on real estate prices. LDPR deputies have prepared their proposals to stimulate the birth rate:

for the birth of a second child, parents will be paid the cost of housing with an area of 40 sq. m.; for the birth of a third child, full or partial repayment will be available mortgages in an amount equivalent to an area of 40 square meters; it is proposed to conduct an experiment on the implementation of initiatives in one of the regions in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the mechanism.

However, the proposal of the deputies is still just an idea; its implementation requires an assessment by the relevant departments, development and approval of the bill. The government has not reported on the consideration of the initiative.

How else does the State Duma plan to increase the birth rate in the country?

The Russian authorities are seriously considering stimulating the birth rate – for this purpose, the Demographic Council was created in early 2025. The members of this association proposed:

introduce corporate demographic standards at enterprises; create conditions for the resettlement of young families to villages; prohibit teenagers from having abortions without parental consent; change the Constitution, giving the embryo basic human rights; limit the commissioning of small apartments – developers must think about families.

“A good solution for large families would be to develop a domestic car – comfortable, large and roomy,” the People’s Front proposed.

Another bill currently under consideration in the State Duma proposes a 25% increase in the amount of maternity capital. The full amount is to be paid for the birth of each child, including 1.5 million rubles for the second, 2.6 million rubles for the third and subsequent children.

Marat Khusnullin held a meeting of the commission for the All-Russian competition for the creation of a comfortable urban environment

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A meeting of the federal competition commission for the organization and holding of the 10th All-Russian Competition of the Best Projects for Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment, as well as the 4th Competition for municipalities in the territories of the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin. The results of the competitions were summed up during the meeting.

"The All-Russian competition is an important tool for the development of small towns and historical settlements in the country. Since this year, it has been held as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". The competition affects the quality of life of millions of citizens across the country. The spaces created become centers of public life, places of recreation and communication, an incentive for the development of the local economy and attracting tourists. I would like to express my gratitude to the President and the Chairman of the Government for their attention to improvement issues. This year, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, together with members of the interdepartmental working group, have done a lot of work to review applications. I ask you to pay special attention to the implementation of projects in key settlements, and also to take into account the opinions of local residents on improvement issues during this work. In addition, it is necessary to complete the digitalization of competition procedures in order to simplify the summing up of the results. Every year, the projects are becoming more sophisticated and high-quality. I am sure that with the determination of new winners, there will be even more modern comfortable public spaces," said Marat Khusnullin.

Federal executive bodies, the Federation Council, the State Duma, as well as representatives of the expert community, architects and urbanists take part in summing up the results of the competition. The award ceremony for the winners will take place at the All-Russian Forum "Development of Small Towns and Historical Settlements" in Kazan.

"The All-Russian competition of the best projects for creating a comfortable urban environment has been held since 2018 by order of the President of Russia and has established itself as the most important tool for territorial development. Thanks to it, new public spaces are created, where modern standards of comfort are harmoniously integrated into the unique historical and cultural appearance of our cities. We see how renovated embankments, parks and squares are becoming not just places of recreation, but centers of public life. Each project takes into account local specifics, creating a recognizable image of the city and strengthening its identity. The joint work of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, regional authorities and the professional community allows not only to create comfortable spaces, but also to form new points of social and economic growth: new jobs appear, entrepreneurial activity and investment attractiveness of territories increase. We attach special importance to the restoration of cultural heritage sites, which become centers of attraction for people and important elements of local identity. Participation in the competition of new regions is of particular importance, where program activities aimed at improving the urban environment contribute to the accelerated integration of these territories into the all-Russian cultural space,” noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin.

Since 2025, historical settlements, small towns and key settlements with a population of up to 300 thousand people are allowed to participate in the all-Russian competition. Settlements with a population of up to 10 thousand people, from 10 thousand to 70 thousand people and from 70 thousand to 300 thousand people take part in the competition for the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District.

According to the decree of President Vladimir Putin on the national development goals of the country, by 2030 at least 1.6 thousand projects – winners of the all-Russian competition – should be implemented in small towns and historical settlements.

Financial news: Derivatives trading volume on Moscow Exchange during first weekend amounted to 46 billion rubles

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Exchange – Moscow Exchange –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On August 16 and 17, 2025, weekend trading started on the Moscow Exchange futures market.

The volume of derivatives transactions during the first trading weekend amounted to 46 billion rubles, which was 17% of the trading volume during the main session on August 15. Almost 27 thousand clients performed more than 178 thousand transactions with derivatives.

The share of individuals in the total volume of derivatives trading was 78%.

The largest trading volume was recorded in transactions with futures contracts on the Moscow Exchange Index (including perpetual and mini-futures), on the RTS Index, on shares of Sberbank, Gazprom, as well as with futures on natural gas Henry Hub, gold and Brent oil.

The trading was attended by 26 professional participants, including the largest Russian brokers and banks, whose share on weekdays accounts for an average of 85% of the trading turnover on the futures market.

Maria Patrikeeva, Managing Director of the Derivatives Market at Moscow Exchange:

“Events that affect the financial market happen every day, and trend directions can reverse at any moment. That is why it is so important for investors to be able to open and adjust their positions not only on weekdays, but also on weekends. For participants in the futures market – due to its high volatility – the availability of trading on Saturdays and Sundays is doubly important, and the level of investor activity last weekend confirmed this. We will continue to expand the capabilities of our clients in order to provide them with maximum flexibility in making investment decisions.”

Weekend trading on the derivatives market was held in sync with the additional weekend trading session on the stock market. By coordinating trading on the markets, investors can manage risks more effectively by using futures and options to hedge their stock positions. In addition, access to derivatives on weekends allows for more active implementation of arbitrage strategies.

Weekend trading on the futures market takes place from 09:50 to 19:00 (09:50–10:00 – opening auction, 10:00–19:00 – trading period) and is conducted as part of an additional weekend session, which is part of the trading day following the weekend.

Investors can trade all futures and calendar spreads in all trading modes, with the exception of currency contracts. Options trading is available only in the address mode. Liquidity in trading is maintained by market makers.

To reduce volatility risks and ensure liquidity, price limits for each group of instruments (indices, shares, commodities) are narrowed relative to the price limits determined during the evening clearing session of the previous business day and do not change. Changes in risk parameters or parameters of traded instruments during weekend trading are not envisaged.

Moscow Exchange Urgent Market – the leading platform for trading derivative financial instruments in Russia and Eastern Europe, which combines developed infrastructure, reliability and guarantees, as well as the most modern technologies for trading futures and options. Today, the derivatives market of the Moscow Exchange trades 41 stock options, 3 currency options, a gold option, an index option, over 150 futures contracts and options on them, the underlying assets of which are stock indices, shares, currency pairs, precious and industrial metals, oil, gas and other goods, interest rates.
