Rustam Minnikhanov: We are particularly worried about slowdown in industrial production

On October 29 at a regional meeting of financial, treasury, and tax bodies Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov said that for 9 months of 2013 revenues were mobilized in the sum of 117,4 bln rubles. He added that we can now already discuss results of 2013 and set tasks for 2014.

Tatarstan President said he was especially worried about slowdown in industrial production, construction, retail trade spheres, and freight transportation. He also noted the decrease in tax revenues, and that some commodity producers did not make pension contributions and personal income tax. By and large, debts by personal income tax make 500 mln rubles.

“Under current economic conditions we have to pay special attention to budget balance, take measures on providing economic stability, promotion of our products at external markets. As for our expenditure powers, we must focus on social programmes,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.
