Order No. 3080-r of October 31, 2025

In 2025, an additional 34.6 billion rubles will be allocated to subsidize preferential loans for Russian agricultural producers. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order.

Funds from the reserve fund will allow for the continuation of the preferential lending program for loans provided to agricultural enterprises for the production and processing of agricultural products. These funds will subsidize at least 39,000 previously issued loans.

Federal funding will enable the continued implementation of major investment projects and the expansion of agricultural production and processing.

“We hope that these decisions will help farmers continue their work successfully, ensuring the country’s food security and a wide range of products for our citizens,” Mikhail Mishustin noted during Government meetings on October 30.

The preferential lending program for farmers was launched in 2017. Under this program, agricultural producers can take out short-term (up to 2 years) or investment (up to 15 years) loans at a preferential rate.

Taking into account the signed resolution, the total amount of funds for subsidizing preferential loans for farmers in 2025 will amount to more than 187.7 billion rubles.

For the first time in the project's history, the number of children and adults who took the test was equal. This year, the Bank of Russia placed special emphasis on interactions with employers. Employees from over 300 companies across the country participated in the assessment.

Adults performed best on the topics "Starting Investing," "Saving for a Financial Goal," and "Borrowing"—over 70% of participants answered these questions correctly. The most challenging questions were those about starting a business and saving for retirement.

Middle and high school students performed most confidently on tasks related to combating financial fraud and digital security. They found questions on investing, insurance, and banking more challenging. Furthermore, 38,000 students also participated in the Olympiad competition during the test to qualify for the All-Russian School Olympiad "Higher Standard" held by HSE University in the Financial Literacy category. 2,500 students reached the finals. The winners will receive preferential treatment when applying to universities. Last year, 17 of these students made it to the finals.

Over 100,000 family teams participated in the competition, with nearly two-thirds of them completing the assessment. The number of participants who successfully completed individual assignments is also growing: 75% of participants passed this year, compared to 70% last year. Ryazan Oblast retained its top five financial literacy regions for the second year running. Other leaders include Yaroslavl and Astrakhan Oblasts, the Chuvash Republic, and the Republic of Buryatia. All participants received recommendations on areas where they made mistakes.

The Bank of Russia will use the results of the assessment to identify problem areas and regions and make decisions to help alleviate these bottlenecks. Information on the next assessment will be published onproject website.

Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with Kaliningrad Region Governor Alexey Besprozvannykh

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with Kaliningrad Region Governor Alexey Besprozvannykh. The parties discussed current performance indicators in the agro-industrial complex and the implementation of the "Environmental Well-Being" national project.

The Kaliningrad region's agro-industrial complex is developing steadily. Crop production is a key segment. The region grows approximately 100 types of agricultural crops. This year, the sown area increased by 5%, enabling a good harvest. The modernization of the agricultural machinery fleet contributed to the successful completion of seasonal fieldwork. Agricultural producers have increased the pace of acquisition of grain and forage harvesters, tractors, and other equipment.

Improving the quality of life in rural areas remains a key objective. This year, the region received over 1 billion rubles from the federal budget for the implementation of the state program "Comprehensive Development of Rural Areas." This allowed for the continued construction and renovation of social facilities, roads, and utility infrastructure, as well as the improvement of public spaces.

Dmitry Patrushev and Alexey Besprozvannykh also discussed the implementation of the "Environmental Well-Being" national project. Specifically, as part of the federal project "Forest Conservation," the region plans to increase the area of reforestation by 2030, conduct forest management, and modernize forest seed production. Six sites stretching over 56 km will also be cleared as part of the federal project "Water of Russia."

Particular attention was paid to the development of a municipal solid waste management system in the Kaliningrad Region. A plan has now been approved for the construction of a solid municipal waste sorting, burial, and recycling facility with a capacity of 350,000 tons in the village of Kornevo, Bagrationovsky District. Furthermore, a waste sorting complex and additional disposal sites are planned for the landfill near the village of Zhavoronkovo, Gusevsky District.

Speaking about waste collection and removal from collection sites, Alexey Besprozvannykh noted that 200 million rubles will be allocated from the regional budget in 2026 to improve the condition of container sites.

At the meeting, the parties exchanged views on the development of educational programs in artificial intelligence. Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke with Russian students studying at the university. Master's student Anna Van shared her impressions of her studies in detail.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, at the initiative of the heads of the two states – Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping – 2026–2027 have been declared cross-years in education.

"I am confident this will allow us to focus our efforts on key inter-university cooperation projects. Today, over 56,000 Chinese students are studying at Russian universities across all modes of study. Meanwhile, we have over 20,000 students in China. Over the course of our long and productive collaboration, we have already completed numerous successful joint projects," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The effectiveness of such cooperation will depend on how quickly and openly we act. I thank the university's leadership for their time and open dialogue. I am confident in our effective collaboration," concluded Dmitry Chernyshenko.
