A large-scale modernization of the city's public utilities infrastructure is underway in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia Oblast. This includes water treatment facilities, a water pumping station, and four main water pipelines, which are 95% deteriorated. Specialists have already begun upgrading sections of two water pipelines, totaling nearly 6 km in length, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The water supply and wastewater systems in Berdyansk had been unmaintained for approximately 50 years. Severe wear and tear on the pipes had led to leaks over time, and the terrain had also reduced water pressure. Last September, a decision was made to reconstruct the most vulnerable sections of four main water pipelines in two stages. One of them is the "Privil" pipeline. Seven kilometers of new pipes were laid virtually next to the old ones, gradually switching consumers, minimizing the risk of network overload. Now, under the supervision of the Territorial Development Fund, work has begun on two more sections, 1.1 kilometers and 4.7 kilometers long," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that these two water pipelines are intended to supply water to two-thirds of Berdyansk's residents.

"In the first phase, specialists will have to relocate nearly 6 km of pipes in challenging conditions: existing underground utilities, a roadway, and residential buildings are all located nearby. Overall, we plan to completely repair all four main water pipelines, totaling approximately 47 km, by the end of 2028. According to calculations, this will help resolve the water supply issue for more than 80,000 residents and visitors to the resort town of Berdyansk," said Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.

Alexander Novak met with Acting Governor of the Tver Region Vitaly Korolev.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak met with Acting Governor of the Tver Region Vitaly Korolev.

The parties discussed the region's socio-economic development, prospects for gasification of housing, utilities, and industrial facilities, modernization of the heating system, and improving the reliability of energy supply to consumers in the region.

It was noted that since March of this year, the state-owned company United Energy Systems of Tver Oblast (UES), with 100% regional ownership, has been operating the regional capital's heat and power complex. This decision is aimed at improving the reliability of Tver's heat supply and ensuring an uninterrupted supply of high-quality housing and utilities services to consumers.

The region's investment attractiveness is being enhanced by the gasification of its territories. A program approved by the regional government and Gazprom is being implemented, which aims to increase the gasification rate in the Upper Volga region to 84.5%.

At the same time, municipal heating systems are being modernized: modern gas boiler houses are being installed, and heating networks are being repaired and built. By 2026, the number of renovated heating facilities is planned to double.

A program to improve the reliability of the region's electricity supply for 2026–2030 has been adopted. This program will include the reconstruction of high-voltage lines, as well as the purchase of specialized equipment and generators.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On March 28–29, 2026, the Moscow Exchange held its first weekend bond trading. Investors were able to trade all bonds admitted to the Moscow Exchange's main trading session, with settlements in Russian rubles and Chinese yuan.

The first trading weekend demonstrated the demand for the new service: 48,000 private investors concluded debt instrument transactions, accounting for 97% of the total transaction volume.

Bond trading volume during the first weekend amounted to 2.5 billion rubles, which is approximately 10% of the average daily volume of stock and unit investment transactions on weekends since the beginning of this year.

The launch of weekend bond trading complements existing offerings: since March 2025, the exchange has offered weekend trading of shares and mutual funds, and since August 2025, futures and options.

Trading on the Moscow Exchange's stock and derivatives markets is conducted on Saturdays and Sundays under the same trading hours as on weekdays, from 9:50 AM to 7:00 PM Moscow time. To reduce the risk of price fluctuations during weekend trading, price limits on the stock market are set at 3% of the previous trading day's closing price. On the derivatives market, price limits for each instrument group (indices, stocks, and commodities) are narrowed relative to the price limits determined during the evening clearing session of the previous business day and remain unchanged. Risk parameters or instrument parameters are not subject to change during weekend trading.

In both market segments, there is an increase in investor interest in weekend trading: the average daily trading volume of shares on weekends is 7.7% of the average daily trading volume on weekdays, and for futures and options it is 2.1%.

The Moscow Exchange Debt Market is Russia's leading platform for raising funds for governments and businesses, combining developed infrastructure, reliability and guarantees, and cutting-edge bond trading technologies. Moscow Exchange trades bonds with outstanding volumes equivalent to almost a third of GDP. Its portfolio of over 4,000 instruments issued by 500 issuers includes government and corporate bonds, as well as complex debt instruments. Over 1.7 million private investors trade bonds on Moscow Exchange. In 2025, bond trading volume reached a record 42 trillion rubles, and the average daily volume since the beginning of 2026 has exceeded 150 billion rubles.
