Mobile monitoring of systemically important organizations continues. During the week, 6 enterprises of the republic included in the federal list of backbone organizations were considered. Taking into account the existing measures of state support, specific solutions were developed for each issue.

Among the measures taken to address the issue of purchasing imported products is a programme of preferential credit for import purchases under the approved List of priority products for the import.

More than 180 backbone organizations took part in the work, and 65 new systemically important enterprises registered in the Centre after it.

Shagiakhmetov also briefed on the implementation of national projects. To date, a limit of 32.7 billion roubles has been set for the implementation of measures of national projects in Tatarstan. In May, 3 billion roubles were allocated under the Safe and Quality Roads national project and 284 million roubles under the Tourism and Hospitality Industry national project.

The minister emphasized that in the current conditions, it is important to promote efficiency of the implementation of all planned activities. Lack of concluded contracts slows down the flow of federal funds to the regional budget.
