Khusnullin told Putin what the people of Russia invest their money in

“New national projects should be launched starting next year,” Vladimir Putin recalled. — We have created a basis for this, quite stable and reliable… The plans we talked about are realizable. Everything needs to be planned in detail.

He recalled that inflation was declining in February, and in March it “went to zero.” He said that the day before he had already met with Mikhail Mishustin and discussed everything on key issues. So now it’s up to the Cabinet of Ministers. Putin gave him a solid credit of confidence, saying that the work should be organized “taking into account the government’s experience.”

First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov named a key goal – the country should join the top four countries in the world by 2030. Now we are in fifth place.

“Calculations show that Russia can become the fourth economy in the world, ahead of Japan,” Belousov said. The main thing here is to maintain stable economic growth rates and gradually increase them. By the end of the six-year period, GDP should grow by 20%.

After listening to Belousov’s numbers-filled report on mechanisms for increasing gross domestic product, import substitution and support measures for small and medium-sized businesses, the president summarized: all this should ultimately be reflected in how people live. On education, culture, families with children, healthcare, social sphere. Thus, Putin handed the ball to Tatyana Golikova.

She decided to start with the main thing – with life. Its duration is planned to be increased to 78 years by 2030. True, three regions have already fulfilled the six-year plan – Dagestan, Ingushetia and Moscow. What needs to be done to make people live longer? According to Golikova, first of all, modernize first-level medical institutions, re-equip children’s hospitals, antenatal clinics and maternity hospitals.

“Primary care medical organizations receive more than a billion calls annually,” said the Deputy Prime Minister. Modernization of the healthcare system and payments for medical workers will ultimately help save a million lives and save 2 trillion rubles for the budget.

She also recalled the increase in the minimum wage. Now it has been raised by 18%, by 2030 it will be doubled and amount to 35 thousand rubles.

The President asked Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko how things were going with the construction of new student campuses. He replied that everything was fine, 17 were already under construction. The pace is very good. The project costs half a trillion rubles. 40% of the money comes from the budget. It is also planned to spend 20 billion rubles a year on the renovation of student dormitories over the next few years.

— The main thing is that this is provided with funding. But the sources have been identified,” Putin noted. That is, he once again sent the same signal as during the message: there is money.

Separately, Vladimir Putin praised the Cabinet of Ministers for the “Games of the Future.” He noted that many may have perceived this event as something light and frivolous. And it turned out to be very serious.

“We were the first to organize an event of this scale. This is, of course, great. Interesting and promising. It is necessary to note those people who organized this work,” he addressed Chernyshenko.

There is also a lot of work to be done in Denis Manturov’s line: from industrial robots to BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway. And also space, nuclear energy, nuclear installations.

— The development of telecommunications services is extremely important. They are actively moving into space,” said Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.

Putin listened carefully to Manturov and only then took the floor. You can’t call him laudatory.

“Everything is important,” he agreed. – But what I would like to draw your attention to. For example, a nuclear power plant for operation in space. Funding needs to be done on time. If we treat this way, it does not concern you personally, but we need to determine priorities here.

Then the president plunged into the specifics of shipbuilding and proposed a solution that could plunge the financial bloc of the Cabinet of Ministers into a slight shock: build where it is more expensive, but more profitable in the long term.

— Regarding shipbuilding, we need to decide on the location of the shipyards. It is better to do this in the east of the country. But everything is more expensive there. Therefore, decisions will be needed about the cost of production. There is unlikely to be any other way but to support this production. It will be easier and cheaper to do it in the European part. But it is more expedient, based on the long-term interests of the country’s development, to develop these competencies in the Far East,” the head of state emphasized.

Where we have obvious records not in the future, but today, on the ground, is in construction. Therefore, Marat Khusnullin in his report focused not even on what remains to be done, but on what has already been done. He reported to Putin that already last year we achieved record volumes of housing construction.

— Housing commissioning in 2023 amounted to 110.4 million square meters. Moreover, in the first two months of this year, housing commissioning amounted to, Vladimir Vladimirovich, 20.6 million square meters. That is, we continue to maintain the momentum,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.

And what’s even more important, Khusnullin continued, is that housing conditions improved for 4.4 million families at the end of last year.

“This is the best indicator in history,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Well, the most important thing in all this is that people believe. That’s why they invest money not just anywhere, but in housing construction.

— The population invests 5.6 trillion rubles annually in housing construction. This is the largest investor in our country. The population believes,” concluded Marat Khusnullin.
