Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting on the formation of a national model of target conditions for doing business. This is a new stage of work to improve the business climate. The model consists of specific initiatives that entrepreneurs need at each stage of business development.

"The President has instructed to enter the top 20 countries in terms of business climate by 2030. The Russian Ministry of Economic Development has submitted a draft order to the Government to approve the national model. There are 11 separate areas of the national model, containing target indicators and "road maps" for their implementation. In total, more than 250 measures are planned to improve the business climate at all stages: from registration to export," said Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

During the meeting, the participants discussed issues of developing social infrastructure, pre-trial dispute resolution mechanisms, using the motivated opinion tool in taxation, and reducing the burden on businesses to prepare tax reports. Representatives of federal executive bodies, business associations, and development institutions took part in the work.

Business played a key role in developing the national model. Nine out of eleven working groups were headed by representatives of the business community. It was business, together with business associations and departments, that determined which barriers needed to be eliminated and how progress would be measured.

Particular attention is paid to the regional part of the model. The task is to equalize the conditions for doing business throughout the country, pulling lagging regions up to the results of the leaders. For this purpose, 27 indicators have been defined in four areas: real estate, utility networks, business protection and development of competition.

Among the Russian regions that faced the problem of defrauded equity holders, there are no long-term construction projects left in 53 subjects of the Russian Federation. In 2024–2025 alone, 25 regions completed work on problematic projects. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Territorial Development Fund Marat Khusnullin.

"Systematic work to resolve the issues of affected citizens – participants in shared construction has allowed us to achieve positive results. Already in 53 regions of the country, which previously faced the problem of defrauded equity holders, there are no long-term construction projects left. Thanks to the instructions and attention of the President and the Prime Minister, a comprehensive system of measures to protect citizens was created. Weekly headquarters are held with governors, where we, among other things, consider these issues. Since 2019, the rights of 257.2 thousand affected equity holders have been restored. Last year alone, with the help of federal mechanisms, 54 houses were completed for about 12 thousand people," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the coordinated work of a number of regional teams, which, in close cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Construction and the Territorial Development Fund, demonstrate high responsibility in restoring the rights of citizens.

In 2024, 20 subjects of the Russian Federation completed the program, including the Orenburg Region. The rights of about 650 residents of the region were restored thanks to the joint efforts of federal and regional mechanisms.

Also, in the Irkutsk region, since 2019, the rights of about 1 thousand citizens have been restored, including with the help of the FRT mechanisms – about 650 people and with the use of regional mechanisms – about 350.

"In 2025, five more regions – Saratov, Volgograd, Ulyanovsk regions, Perm and Krasnoyarsk territories – joined the number of subjects where the problem of long-term construction projects has been solved. Work on implementing the decisions of the Supervisory Board of the Territorial Development Fund continues. The overwhelming majority of participants in shared construction have already received the compensation or apartments in completed buildings due to them," said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

The Territorial Development Fund is empowered to protect the rights of affected equity holders. Federal and regional mechanisms are used to help citizens. The former include completing the construction of a problematic facility and paying compensation based on the decision of the FRT Supervisory Board, the latter include attracting a new investor to complete the construction, providing compensation housing, payments, etc. The decision to use a particular regional mechanism is made by the subject independently.

The government continues to create conditions for the implementation of sustainable development programs for energy and housing and communal services enterprises in Dagestan, Ingushetia and North Ossetia. An order has been signed to allocate more than 600 million rubles for these purposes.

The funds from the Government's reserve fund are needed to co-finance the expenses of the three regions within the framework of the implementation of program activities. In particular, they include the consolidation of the regional property complex of housing and communal services. This is done by single operators created in each subject.

In addition, within the framework of the programs, measures are being implemented to attract qualified specialists to the industry. Work is also underway to establish economically justified tariffs.
