Financial news: Information on the progress of liquidation proceedings in relation to insurance entities, for which the DIA Group is the bankruptcy trustee (liquidator).

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Insurance is one of the key financial institutions of a market economy and a mechanism for effectively protecting the property interests of citizens, businesses, and organizations from various risks.

3976.6 billion rubles

amounted to insurance premiums based on the results of 2025.

Currently, insurance services are provided for more than 100 types of insurance, the most popular of which are compulsory motor third party liability insurance (CMTPL), accident and illness insurance, and personal property insurance.

Regulation, control and supervision of the activities of insurance entities: insurance organizations, insurance brokers and mutual insurance companies is carried out by the Bank of Russia.

395.5 million units

insurance contracts were concluded by 2025, of which 91% were contracts with individuals.

As of 01.01.2026, the following was in effect in Russia:

129 insurance companies

60 insurance brokers

15 mutual insurance societies

The main tasks of the Bank of Russia are to prevent and suppress violations of insurance legislation and unfair practices, ensure the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of consumers of insurance services, and the effective development of the insurance business.

The focus of insurance supervision is on creating a reliable insurance environment, increasing the responsibility of the insurance business, and building consumer confidence in insurance services. One of the key priorities of the Bank of Russia's activities concerns improving mechanisms for protecting the rights and legitimate interests of insurance consumers, as well as developing behavioral oversight practices.

Following the entry into force of Bank of Russia Instruction No. 6315-U dated 14.11.2022 "On the Forms, Deadlines, and Procedure for Compiling and Submitting Insurer Reports to the Bank of Russia," the methodology for generating indicators for Form 0420162 "Information on the Insurer's Activities" has changed. Specifically, beginning with data for the first quarter of 2023, Form 0420162 reflects the amount of insurance premiums under insurance contracts paid during the reporting period in accordance with the terms of the insurance contracts. Due to these changes, in some cases, the amount of insurance premiums, beginning with data for the first quarter of 2023, may not be fully comparable with indicators for comparable periods of the previous year.

Financial news: From April 1, 2026, the maximum overpayment on loans and credits will be reduced.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Overpayments now cannot exceed 100% of the loan amount instead of 130% previously. Thisnorm of law applies to new loans and credits issued for a period of no more than one year by banks, microfinance organizations (MFOs), pawnshops, and credit consumer cooperatives (CCCs and SKPKs).

Thus, if a person borrows, for example, 10,000 rubles from an MFI, interest, penalties, and all other charges cease to accrue once the total amount reaches 100% of the debt. Ultimately, the borrower will be required to repay no more than 20,000 rubles.

The overpayment limit is indicated on the first page of the agreement, before the table containing the individual terms of the consumer loan or credit. The law, which the Bank of Russia actively contributed to, is aimed at protecting borrowers' interests and reducing the debt burden of individuals.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

An updated road development plan through 2031 has been approved. This is the key operational planning document for the road sector, encompassing all activities and funding sources to achieve the "Infrastructure for Life" national project targets.

"The six-year plan is a proven, flexible road financing mechanism that has enabled us to align road construction with spatial development objectives and improve the efficiency of budgetary funds. The updated six-year plan details 215 federal road construction projects and 116 regional ones. It also includes large-scale investment projects, which include another 94 promising federal projects and 37 regional ones. The implementation of the six-year plan will help achieve the targets of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, ensure the quality of federal, regional, and metropolitan roads, and improve transport connectivity and the quality of the living environment, including in 2,160 key settlements. In recent years, motorization has increased by 12%, and traffic volume on federal highways has increased by 60%. High-quality roads have impacted freight traffic, which has increased by 11% along the West-East, North-South, and Europe-Western China international corridors," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that key projects include the M-12 "Vostok" highway, which will be extended to Tyumen this year, and construction of a bypass around the city will begin. Additionally, bypasses are under construction around Derbent and Khasavyurt in Dagestan, Adler in the Krasnodar Krai as part of the M-4 "Don" – Sochi highway project, a southern bypass around Saratov, a bypass around Oryol, a southern bypass around Ryazan, and an access road to the Manzherok resort in the Altai Republic. Plans are underway to expand the Chuysky Trakt highway in the Novosibirsk region with access to China. Design work on bypasses around Makhachkala, Astrakhan, and Orenburg is nearing completion. Construction of the northern bypass around Omsk continues as part of a regional concession, a high-speed section bypassing several settlements on the approach to Vladivostok is underway, and large-scale reconstruction of the M-4 "Don" highway in the Rostov region is underway. Almost 100 km of the highway will be converted to six lanes. The main work is scheduled to be completed this year.

"Among the largest road construction projects, which are creating new, high-quality infrastructure and providing a significant boost to the development of adjacent territories, is the Azov Ring Road, a route around the sea. Work is already underway in the Rostov Region and the Donetsk People's Republic, and a bypass around Mariupol is being built. Also planned are the expansion of sections from Simferopol to Dzhankoy in Crimea and from Mariupol to Berdyansk in the Zaporizhzhia Region. Today, the land corridor to Crimea through the reunified regions is the main channel for delivering goods to the peninsula. Furthermore, work continues on the design and construction of the high-speed bypass around St. Petersburg (KAD-2), as well as the Primorsky Ring Road in the Kaliningrad Region. Sections of the route already completed connect the regional capital with the airport and resorts in Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk. By 2030, we will complete the ring road and provide key tourist destinations with access via the expressway," added Marat Khusnullin.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order approving an updated road development plan through the end of 2031.
