13 February 2019, Wednesday

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov presented the 2018 results of industry and trade and outlined 2019 plans as part of national projects (defined by President’s Decree No. 204 of May 7, 2018).

The industrial production volume exceeded the 2017 figures amounting to RUB 2,818 billion, while industrial production index was 102.0%. Last year, the amount of state support totalled almost RUB 50 billion for the republic’s real sector. It is important to maintain the existing state support and seek for new tools within the framework of the national projects. Three of the 12 national projects directly involve industrial enterprises.

The first national project is Labour Productivity. A steady increase in labour productivity is necessary for all medium-size and large enterprises of the basic non-commodity sectors of the economy at a rate not lower than 5 percent a year.

The second area is the Digital Economy programme. Jointly with enterprises, the needs should be identified for the development of end-to-end digital technologies and a part should be taken in competitive selection for these support measures.

The third national project is International Cooperation and Exports. This is a key national project for the domestic industry, given that Tatarstan faces an ambitious task of doubling the volume of non-oil non-energy exports by 2024.
