Video greetings from Tatyana Golikova on the All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity

From the transcript:

Greetings to the participants of the second season of the “It’s in Our Family” competition and to all the families of our great country!

Today is a special holiday – Family, Love and Fidelity Day. A holiday that unites generations and proves that a strong family is the foundation of a strong Russia.

Family is an inexhaustible source of love, support and wisdom, the foundation on which personality is built. It is in the family that the most important values are passed on from generation to generation: respect, mutual understanding, loyalty, responsibility, traditions and the memory of ancestors. It is in the family circle that we learn to love, forgive, believe and create.

Our common goal is to strengthen families, to avoid alienation and separation of generations. I am convinced that this is possible if the family is united by common goals, plans and dreams. This is the mission of the competition "It's Family for Us", which is held on the initiative of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Almost 600 thousand people from all over the country took part in the first season of the competition, turning it into the largest family competition in Russia and giving it real national love. The tasks motivated thousands of families to spend more time with their loved ones: to learn new things together, to adopt knowledge from the older generation, to get to know each other better – through simple and useful activities.

Since this year, the competition has become annual and has joined the large-scale national project "Family". Its main and fundamental goal is for us, Russians, to become more numerous.

The contest "It's Family" was created to show how important and multifaceted family is in our lives. You share a piece of your family history, your unique traditions, recipes, hobbies. You remind us all that strong family ties, mutual support and love are the harmonious foundation of our society.

The new season of the competition has started. Every Russian family can take part in it. I am sure that interesting communication, an atmosphere of creativity, new interesting acquaintances await you, because generosity of soul, love and loyalty are our family traits! Join us!

Ministry of Economic Development: SEZ residents almost doubled investments in 2024

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia sent to the Government report on the results of the work of special economic zones for 2024. Such analysis is carried out annually in accordance with the rules for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the SEZ, approved by the Government.

The overall efficiency indicator was 90% (the functioning of the SEZ is considered effective if the overall calculated indicator is 80%).

"In recent years, the number of SEZs in the country has increased significantly. New territories with a preferential regime have already been included in the rating, but have not yet reached full capacity. At the same time, residents are actively entering the "young" SEZs, expanding production and investing, creating highly paid jobs. Thus, the lion's share of all investments in the SEZ in 2024 were provided by territories created in 2020-2022. It is important that businesses are increasing investments in the development of new technologies – R&D costs have grown by almost 60% and exceeded 35 billion rubles. This means that even in difficult conditions, companies continue to search for and implement innovative solutions, update products and develop new markets," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Svyatoslav Sorokin.

According to the assessment results, the leaders in terms of efficiency for 2024 were industrial production zones in the Samara Region (Tolyatti), the Republic of Tatarstan (Alabuga), Moscow Region (Stupino Kvadrat), Ivanovo Region (Ivanovo), Lipetsk Region (Lipetsk), and Kaluga Region (Kaluga).

"Special economic zones remain one of the most effective instruments of state support for investors. Last year, residents invested more than 1.2 trillion rubles in projects, which is twice as much as the year before. Over 25 thousand new jobs were created, which is 40% more than in 2023. These results confirm that businesses are comfortable working in SEZ conditions: these are tax and customs preferences, ready-made infrastructure, administrative support and reduced costs for connecting to resources. All this makes SEZ sites growth points and attractive for long-term investments," Svyatoslav Sorokin emphasized.

"Business investments are new high-tech production facilities, jobs, and taxes that we direct to the development of the social sphere and improving the quality of life of our citizens. And the special economic zone "Togliatti" with its opportunities and preferences is an effective tool for attracting private investment, a key growth point. The development of the capacities of the SEZ "Togliatti" will contribute to the development of the regional economy and increase the competitiveness of the region in the investment arena," said the Governor of the Samara Region Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

"Of course, the preferences of the special economic zone play an important role when an investor chooses a location – these are both tax benefits and ready-made infrastructure. For us, the SEZ in Baikalsk has become part of the important work to create a new environmentally friendly business format on the former industrial site," said Igor Kobzev, Governor of the Irkutsk Region. He also noted that there is currently a high interest from investors in the SEZ, in connection with which the regional authorities are preparing documents for the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation to expand the preferential regime zone.

"The Saint Petersburg Special Economic Zone annually confirms its effectiveness, taking places in the top three special economic zones of the technology implementation type. We are the leader in the volume of tax deductions from our residents to the country's budget system. This makes a significant contribution to the high assessment of our work. Over 19 years of operation, two operating sites of the SEZ have already brought Saint Petersburg 135 billion rubles in investments, almost 8 thousand jobs and about 29 billion rubles in tax deductions. The city sees the effect for Saint Petersburg and is interested in scaling up the project," said Tamara Rondaleva, General Director of JSC Saint Petersburg Special Economic Zone.

The efficiency assessment was carried out based on 25 quantitative indicators, as well as six calculated metrics, including: the performance of residents, the profitability of investments from budgets at all levels in the infrastructure of the zones, the efficiency of management bodies, the quality of planning during the creation of the SEZ, and the contribution to the achievement of national development goals defined by the May decree of the President of the Russian Federation.

Every year new production facilities are opened in the territory of special economic zones. In 2024 alone, several socially significant and high-tech projects began operating at once.

The production of televisions under the GigaFactory brand has started in the Novgorodskaya SEZ — this is the first and only enterprise of its kind in the region. The plant produces “smart” televisions based on a domestic operating system, which makes the project an important element of import substitution.

On the territory of the SEZ "Lotus", the company "Rybnye Korma" launched the first stage of the plant for the production of feed for industrial aquaculture – sturgeon, catfish, trout, salmon, sea bass and dorado. The production is focused on domestic raw materials, and the volume of feed production today is up to 25 thousand tons per year.

The Krasnogorsky dairy plant has started operating in the Orenburg SEZ. The processing capacity is up to 150 tons of milk per day, the range is more than 50 types of dairy and fermented milk products. The products are supplied not only to retail chains in the Orenburg Region and neighboring regions, but also to Kazakhstan and China.

The Petexpert plant, specializing in the production of high-quality pet food from natural raw materials, has opened in the Lipetsk SEZ. The enterprise produces up to 20 thousand tons of dry food per year and is developing regional exports.

On the territory of the SEZ PPT "Alga" in Bashkortostan, the company "Azimut" launched an innovative plant for the production of road paint and cold plastic for marking. The production is located in the industrial park "Ufimsky" and is equipped with a modern laboratory and lines. The products are used in the implementation of federal and regional programs for the construction of transport infrastructure.

Financial news: What investors know about mutual funds: Bank of Russia survey

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Bank of Russia will appreciate, how popular are mutual investment funds (MIF) among investors, from what sources do they get information about funds, and whether they are satisfied with the amount of information disclosed.

The collective investment sector is one of the most dynamically developing in Russia. A mutual fund is the most convenient financial instrument for an investor, including a beginner. The investment process is simple: a future shareholder transfers his funds to a fund managed by a management company. A professional manager invests the received resources in various assets: securities, real estate, infrastructure projects and other instruments. The entry ticket to a mutual fund is small – you can start investing with just 5 rubles on hand.

In order to increase interest in such an instrument, the Bank of Russia intends to analyze what sources an investor uses to obtain information about a mutual fund, how convenient and understandable such a financial instrument is. This will allow the regulator to further create conditions for increasing the availability of information for a wide range of investors and increase the attractiveness of investments in mutual funds.

The Bank of Russia published report, where he identified possible scenarios for the development of the retail mutual fund market.

The government will support investors planning to implement projects in certain areas of the Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Resolution of July 5, 2025 No. 1023

Document

Resolution of July 5, 2025 No. 1023

Entrepreneurs planning to implement investment projects in the border areas of the Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions will be able to use the preferential regime of the free economic zone (FEZ). The resolution on the conditions and features of the application of the preferential regime in relation to new projects in these territories was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Until now, this free economic zone regime applied to actually operating and damaged enterprises in the border areas of the three regions. This allowed entrepreneurs to partially compensate for the damage sustained during military operations.

Now investors implementing new projects in the manufacturing industry, agriculture, logistics, and the development of computer technologies and software will be able to take advantage of the preferential regime.

The investment volume, which is the entry threshold for receiving preferences, will be 30 million rubles. At the same time, for small and medium-sized enterprises, this volume is set at 3 million rubles, and for projects in the field of information technology, regardless of the size of the enterprise, at 1 million rubles.

In June 2024, the President signed a law allowing the preferential regime of the free economic zone to be extended to certain territories of the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions.

Residents of the SEZ enjoy reduced rates of corporate income tax, mineral extraction tax, and the right to exemption from corporate property tax and land tax. Organizations and individual entrepreneurs are also granted the right to apply reduced insurance premium rates.
