The agenda: the comprehensive science and technology programme New Composite Materials, additional mortgage subsidies for large families, supporting the manufacturing industry
Government meeting
Mikhail Mishustin’s opening remarks:
Good afternoon, colleagues,
Before we get down to work, I would like to say a few words about the document that has been signed.
The Government has approved the comprehensive science and technology programme aiming to develop new composite materials and their components. The introduction of advanced technologies in this sphere will help accomplish specific objectives facing the country and attain technological sovereignty as soon as possible, the necessity of which the President talks about.
In the next 5 years, we will spend about 7 billion roubles on implementing this programme, with extra-budgetary investment accounting for 50 percent of the grand total. There are plans to create dozens of innovative products.
What is important is that the use of Russian-made composite materials will make it possible to boost the competitiveness of key sectors, primarily space exploration, the shipbuilding and aircraft manufacturing sectors, the transportation sector, energy and the construction industry.
Let us now turn to the agenda.
The President noted the need to monitor the situation with incomes of families with children at all times. He emphasised that well-thought-out, targeted and effective measures were needed.
The Government will allocate an additional 15 billion roubles for guaranteeing mortgage obligations of families who have welcomed a third or subsequent child after 1 January 2019.
These parents will be able to obtain 450,000-rouble benefits for repaying their homebuyer loans either completely or in part.
This year’s federal budget stipulates over 60 billion roubles for reimbursing loan agencies, and most of the sum has already been remitted.
This decision will allow more than 33,000 families with children to improve their living conditions.
Another issue deals with high-priority investment projects to facilitate technological development.
The President set the task of providing effective tools to support the manufacturing industry and provide it with the required volume of financial resources.
We discussed these measures in great detail at the International Industrial Trade Fair INNOPROM 2023 in Yekaterinburg.
This year, we will spend an additional 2 billion roubles on grants to develop design documentation for components. That makes for almost 7 billion roubles since last year.
This will make it possible to implement about 150 projects in the field of medicine, social assistance and rehabilitation, transport equipment manufacturing, the machine-tools and tools sector and the radio-electronic industry. These projects also include the production of LNG small-tonnage vessels, as well as that of gas motor fuel, power transmission, oil and gas exploration and production. These projects will involve a whole range of sectors.
The current decision will help expand the volume of Russian-made high-tech products and their range, and they will also expand production assets and investment volumes.
