Denis Manturov's working visit to Tuva

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, as part of a working visit to the Republic of Tyva, visited a construction materials production facility, reviewed an exhibition of key industrial enterprises in the region, and held a working meeting with the head of the republic, Vladislav Khovalyg.

OOO Vostok is engaged in the construction of housing and social institutions. With the help of the individual development program, the enterprise has established the production of reinforced concrete products and building blocks. The volume of goods shipped in 2024 reached more than 5 billion rubles. The share of Russian equipment at the enterprise is 75%.

At the industrial products exhibition, Denis Manturov got acquainted with the production potential of the region and the work of existing enterprises. One of them is JSC Techmashservice (part of the Rostec State Corporation), where in November 2023, thanks to government support measures, a plant for the production of emulsion explosives for the development of deposits was put into operation. The company cooperates with local mining enterprises and supplies them with products. The plant's capacity is 5 thousand tons per year.

The First Deputy Prime Minister and the head of the republic also flew over a number of deposits by helicopter, including Tastygskoye and Kyzyl-Tashtygskoye. Denis Manturov emphasized that the development of the Tastygskoye deposit for the production of lithium concentrate is not only a promising direction for supplies to the domestic market, but also has export potential. The Tastyg deposit in Tyva is one of the largest lithium deposits in Russia and one of the key ones for ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty in the field of modern high-capacity power sources and energy storage.

At a meeting with Vladislav Khovalyg, Denis Manturov recommended that the region more actively use the tools of the Industrial Development Fund, including to attract local investors. In addition, the First Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, together with the government of the republic and the management companies of private industrial parks, to work out the issue of their inclusion in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This will allow companies to apply for support measures from the ministry in the future.

Vladislav Khovalyg reported to Denis Manturov on the start of the development of a preliminary feasibility study for the creation of the Central Eurasian Transport Corridor (CETC). At SPIEF-2025, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Khakassia and Tuva signed a memorandum, according to which the Center for Strategic Research Foundation began assessing the prospective cargo base. The technical specifications were approved by a working group formed on the initiative of Denis Manturov.

Let us recall that the order to determine the feasibility of forming the Central Eurasian Transport Corridor was given by President Vladimir Putin within the framework of new strategic directions of Russia's development. The Central Eurasian Transport Corridor provides an additional opportunity for the transit of goods to the Northern Sea Route via the Yenisei River and creates the basis for the northern branch of the New Silk Road.

Alexander Novak took part in the meeting of the OPEC Group of Eight countries

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak took part as a co-chair in a meeting of the Group of Eight participating countries that adopted additional voluntary adjustments to oil production in April and November 2023.

The Group of Eight includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman.

The parties discussed the state and prospects of the global oil market. Taking into account the stable prospects of the global economy and current market indicators reflected in low oil inventories, they agreed to make an adjustment to production by 548 thousand barrels per day in August 2025. The gradual increase can be suspended or cancelled depending on changing market conditions. Such flexibility will allow the group to continue to maintain stability in the oil market. The eight OPEC countries also noted that this measure will allow participating countries to speed up the compensation of volumes.

The parties to the deal confirmed their commitment to the voluntary adjustments to oil production agreed at the 53rd meeting of the OPEC Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee on April 3, 2024, and their intention to fully offset any excess production from January 2024.

The eight OPEC countries have agreed to meet monthly to review market conditions, compliance and compensation. The next meeting will be held on August 3 to decide on the level of oil production by the members in September 2025.
