Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on Regional Development, where applications for the implementation of projects financed with funds from treasury infrastructure loans were reviewed and approved.

"We continue to work on distributing funds from treasury infrastructure loans. Most of the application campaign has been completed. All 89 regions of the country took an active part, we see the involvement. I ask all governors to take this work seriously, to monitor the implementation of planned projects. Many of them allow not only to put the existing infrastructure in order, but also to create a reserve for growth and prospects for the future. Today, applications for a total of 46.8 billion rubles were approved. These are 64 objects in 20 projects in 10 regions of the country. The funds will be used to modernize housing and communal services systems. I am confident that all approved projects will contribute to improving the quality of life of people and will generally have a positive impact on the socio-economic development of the regions," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that, in particular, the headquarters approved applications for the construction of a second line of the main sewer collector in St. Petersburg with a CIC volume of 11.9 billion rubles, the reconstruction of the water supply system in the Republic of Dagestan with a CIC volume of 6.86 billion rubles, the reconstruction of a pumping station and a settling tank block of a water treatment plant in the Chuvash Republic with a CIC volume of 2.44 billion rubles, the reconstruction of treatment facilities in Sredneuralsk and the construction of treatment facilities in Sysert in the Sverdlovsk region with a CIC volume of 5.81 billion rubles, and the modernization of water supply networks in Chelyabinsk and Kopeysk in the Chelyabinsk region with a CIC volume of 2.92 billion rubles.

Also, 5.12 billion rubles will be allocated to the Volgograd region for the construction of a water supply system in the Kirovsky, Sovetsky and Krasnoarmeysky districts of Volgograd, the construction of water supply networks and structures for prospective residential buildings in the central-western part of the city.

In the Kirov region, it is planned to build 5 boiler houses with conversion to gas, as well as a complex facility for handling municipal solid waste, using KIK funds totaling 2.28 billion rubles.

Thanks to the KIK, water treatment and sewage treatment facilities will be reconstructed in the village of Staraya Ladoga in the Leningrad Region, and water supply and sanitation networks will be built. The volume of the KIK is 1.87 billion rubles.

Samara Region has approved applications with a CIC volume of 4.13 billion rubles for the implementation of 6 projects and 26 objects. Among them are the reconstruction of 15 sections of heating mains, modernization of heat supply systems in Novosemeykino, major repairs of a water main in Syzran, construction of two water disposal facilities and reconstruction of a wastewater treatment facility in Tolyatti, reconstruction of two water disposal facilities in Samara, construction of three boiler houses in the Kinel-Cherkassky municipal district. The projects will improve the quality of heat supply, water supply and sanitation for more than 800 thousand residents of the region.

In the Republic of Tatarstan, an application for 3.47 billion rubles from the KIK for the development of a promising territory in the Kirovsky district of Kazan with a total area of 759 hectares has been approved. It is planned to develop it in stages according to the principle of a "15-minute city". Thanks to the KIK, it is planned to build main networks of domestic and household sewerage systems with a length of more than 19 km. The project will improve the quality of the water disposal system for more than 142 thousand residents of the territory.

Previously, applications with a total CIC volume of 19.73 billion rubles were approved for the implementation of the projects of the Bolshoy Smolensky Bridge in St. Petersburg, the purchase of buses in the Kirov region, the reconstruction of the Smolensk-Severny airfield and the renewal of the housing and utilities infrastructure in the Smolensk region.

In his report, the Minister of Construction, Irek Faizullin, spoke about the current review of applications from regions for the implementation of infrastructure projects using funds from treasury infrastructure loans (TIL).

"Currently, we see high interest from regions in using the CIC tool. The application campaign for basic housing and communal services limits and the competitive selection for investment projects has already been completed. Applications continue to be received within the framework of long-term comprehensive plans for the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone. 7 regions with an approved limit for this year have already submitted applications, and applications from other regions are still being accepted until the end of September," said Irek Faizullin.

As part of the redistribution of limits, it was also proposed to allocate 3.3 billion rubles to restore infrastructure in the Kursk and Belgorod regions; applications from the regions will be submitted for approval in the near future.

Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund, reported that the KIKs have become a continuation of the mechanism of infrastructure budget loans, which has proven itself to be effective in comprehensive regional development.

"As a CIC operator, the fund carefully works with each application. 82 regions submitted applications for updating housing and communal services systems for a total of 187 billion rubles. The sphere is very complex and requires special attention, so the planned work is important for improving the quality of provided utilities. In general, we have extensive successful experience in implementing IBC projects. We will make every effort to ensure high-quality implementation of new projects for the benefit of Russians," commented Vasily Kupyzin.

Financial news: Credit growth to the economy continued to slow in June.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Monthly growth of credit to the economy slowed to 0.3% in June from 1.1% in May. Tight monetary conditions continued to constrain lending.

In June, the entire growth of credit to the economy was fully provided by corporate lending: banks' claims on organizations increased by 0.4% over the month. Claims on the population remained almost unchanged over the month.

Broad money supply increased by 0.6% in June, which is comparable to the May growth rate. The bulk of the growth was accounted for by cash rubles and current accounts of the population. This may be due to the fact that during the summer holidays the need for funds for settlements increased. In the segment of term deposits, long-term deposits grew at an accelerated rate, which may be explained by the desire of depositors to fix current rates.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that tariffs on U.S. imports of microchips and pharmaceuticals will be imposed "in the next week or so."

“We’ll put a small tariff on pharmaceuticals first,” Trump said in an interview with CNBC. “But in a year, a year and a half at the most, it’ll go up to 150 percent, and then to 250 percent, because we want pharmaceuticals to be made in our country.”

According to the American leader, a statement will also be made in the near future on the issue of duties on semiconductor products and microcircuits.

D. Trump added that his plans to introduce customs duties are still far from complete.

The announcement comes days after the U.S. administration imposed new tariffs on imports from a number of countries. They followed the release of a disappointing July jobs report on Aug. 1 that not only missed market expectations but also included downward revisions to employment figures for both June and May. –0–

Moscow, August 5 (Xinhua) — The BRICS motor rally from Yekaterinburg to Moscow will take place from August 9 to 15, the organizers of the motor rally announced at a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday.

The event is timed to coincide with the opening of a new section of the M-12 "Vostok" highway Dyurtyuli – Achit. The section, more than 275 km long, opened in mid-July, became a continuation of the high-speed highway from St. Petersburg to Yekaterinburg.

"The launch of this road is one of the key links in the implementation of the project to create the international transport corridor "West-East". Of course, the launch of this project will have a huge socio-economic effect on the entire transport system of the country," said Igor Koval, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Russian state company "Avtodor". According to him, the key objective of the motor rally is to demonstrate to foreign partners the achievements in the development of the road and transport infrastructure of Russia.

The 1,600 km route will pass through the territory of six Russian regions. During the motor rally, business and cultural events are planned, during which participants will be able to get acquainted with the industrial, investment, tourism and cultural potential of the subjects of the Russian Federation.

50 cars have applied to participate in the rally. Representatives of 20 BRICS countries and partner countries have already confirmed their participation.

As Chairman of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia Zhou Liqun emphasized, the upcoming BRICS motor rally is an event of high international level. He reported that many Chinese companies operating in Russia supported this project. “The motor rally is not only an example of business cooperation, but also humanitarian and cultural interaction between Russia, China and the BRICS countries. I sincerely wish that the BRICS motor rally will unite us not only as a business community, but also as true friends,” he added, proposing to make this event annual.

The main organizers of the motor rally were the National Association of Infrastructure Companies (NAIC) and the state company Avtodor. The project was supported by the BRICS Business Council, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. –0–
