EKATERINBURG, 24 May – RIA Novosti. The press service of the regional governor noted the high indicators of economic development of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YaNAO) of the Bank of Russia and the measures taken to support entrepreneurs.

Yamal Governor Dmitry Artyukhov discussed with Rustem Mardanov, head of the Ural Main Department of the Central Bank of Russia, the issues of ensuring the sustainable development of the region’s economy in the face of sanctions, supporting industrial projects and small and medium-sized enterprises. .

“Credit holidays have proven to be even during the coronavirus pandemic as a support measure and have helped loan and borrowers and companies in many ways. Since March 2022, this mechanism has resumed its work. 146 small and medium-sized representatives in Yamal Businesses are already away from the holidays. At the same time, Bank Russia recommended that creditors meet the needs of borrowers who do not meet the requirements of the law on credit holidays and restructure loans under their own schedule. In Yamal, this support measure is also working effectively,” Mardanov said in the message.

He added that as a result of the sanctions restrictions imposed, some companies are facing a deterioration in their financial situation. For them, the Bank of Russia has developed federal support measures implemented through the financial sector. Especially SMEs can benefit from preferential revolving and investment loan programs.

At the meeting, Mardanov drew attention to the Yamal support measures for enterprises. In early March, entrepreneurs were given a six-month deferral for a number of taxes (United Agricultural Tax, simplified tax system, PST, transport and land taxes, and property tax) and preferential loan products in the My Business agency: 7.5% for trade in remote areas and 9.5% for other regions. A new support measure package will be available in the near future.

Dmitry Artyukhov emphasized that the situation in the economy of the Okrug is stable. Implementation of large oil and gas complex projects continues in Yamal.

“Our financial sector is actively developing, the largest projects are being implemented in the region. We have been among the top three regions in terms of attracting investment for many years. We keep the investment bar of over one trillion rubles every year. Despite all the difficulties, the oil and natural gas complex continues to implement big projects,” he said. .
