Almost 4.7 trillion rubles of off-budget investments were attracted to the regions of Russia.

      March 27, 2026 13:50 Society Since 2021, projects implemented using infrastructure budget, special treasury, and treasury infrastructure loans have attracted about 4.7 trillion rubles in off-budget investments to the regions. This was reported by the General Director of the Territorial Development Fund, Vasily Kupyzin. According to him, such mechanisms not only contribute to the development of territories and economic growth but also stimulate the influx of private capital. During the operation of the programs, 42.6 million square meters of housing have been built and 203 thousand jobs created. To date, with the involvement of IBK, SKK, and KIK funds, 1004 facilities and events have been completed. Among them are 576.7 km of roads and more than 2.1 thousand km of utility networks. Vasily Kupyzin emphasized that a significant portion of the funding is directed towards the modernization of housing and communal services as one of the most complex and vulnerable areas. The head of the FRT also noted that the fund continues to monitor projects implemented using the treasury infrastructure loan mechanism launched in 2025. By the decision of the Presidium of the Government Commission for Regional Development, led by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, regions have been approved for 396 billion rubles in KIK. New initiatives, as previously supported under IBK and SKK, cover almost all subjects of the country. KIK funds are directed towards the modernization of housing and communal services, the development of the Far East and the Arctic, the implementation of large infrastructure projects on behalf of the president, and the development of domestic tourism. In total, since 2025, 759 facilities and events have been approved as part of 272 projects in 86 regions. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin previously emphasized that in the current economic conditions, effective support measures for subjects are particularly important. The most capital-intensive instrument has become infrastructure loans, which are provided to regions on preferential terms — at 3% per annum for a term of 15 years. This allows for the implementation of projects with a multiplicative effect on the economy and the development of territories without significant burden on regional budgets. All initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of life and creating a foundation for further growth. The Ministry of Construction of Russia is the curator of the infrastructure loan program, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation. It was previously reported that the Nizhny Novgorod region is a leader in the modernization of communal infrastructure. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
