      Politics "While speaking before the deputies of the Legislative Assembly with a report on the government’s work, Governor Gleb Nikitin emphasized that the main goal of the authorities is to improve the quality of life for people. To this end, economic development is encouraged, social obligations are expanded, and infrastructure is modernized," stated the speaker of the regional parliament, Evgeny Lyulin.

      He added that despite objective difficulties, the government managed in 2024 to maintain the growth rates of the regional economy. New promising projects were launched, reaffirming the region’s leadership.

      According to Evgeny Lyulin, the foundation of the region's economic well-being—the industry—continues to grow almost twice as fast as the national average.

      "Last year, GRP increased by 3.3%, and in the first five months of 2025, it grew by another 2.4%, whereas the average across Russia was 1.3%. This is despite the high key rate and market instability. We support industrial enterprises. Think about it: over the year, the volume of funding from the regional Industrial Development Fund doubled! That’s why investors are coming to us. Recently, we opened Russia’s only silica gel plant in Kulibin. Last year, 6.6 billion rubles were allocated to agriculture—16 livestock complexes were built. These are investments in the future!" said the speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

      Evgeny Lyulin noted that economic successes contribute to the implementation of infrastructure projects: "The modernization of the electric transport system in Nizhny Novgorod continues. The ice sports arena is nearly finished. In the fall, the first students will begin studies at the 'Neymark' IT campus. Under national projects, over five years, 33 schools, 45 kindergartens have been built, hundreds of hospitals have been renovated, and 6,000 kilometers of roads have been reconstructed. As part of new national projects, which the region has joined, we will receive 54 billion rubles in federal funding in 2025."

      Special attention in the Nizhny Novgorod region is paid to the development of the social sphere.

      "Since July 1, the initiative 'Parent Basic Income,' launched by the governor, has been in effect, allowing payments for childbirth in the Nizhny Novgorod region in combination with federal maternity capital to reach up to 1 million rubles. Such a measure has never existed before!" said the regional parliament speaker.

      Evgeny Lyulin also recalled that special support measures are in place for participants in the SVO (Special Military Operation) and their families, and the project "Heroes. Nizhny Novgorod Region" has been launched to prepare veterans as qualified managers.

      It is evident to everyone that today the Nizhny Novgorod region is a vital center where the power of industrial production is generated, the digital future is created, and unique projects are launched—to serve the interests of the people and the benefit of the country," emphasized Evgeny Lyulin.
