The Future of Industries: Where Are We Ahead, Where Are We Behind, and Why?
We expect that the related to investment preferential loans programme, which is currently being developed at the level of the Russian Government, will be available to the automotive industry, and this will allow us to set the production of the necessary competencies, such as automatic transmission, all-wheel drive. They require investments of about RUB 30 billion

The Car Industry: A New Impetus
We need to implement government policy on a very careful, point-by-point basis. That’s so we can allocate investments across various vehicle classes – investments which are made with automotive manufacturing in mind – and not allow any cannibalism between enterprises which will be involved in automotive manufacturing. On the contrary, through synergy and the unification of auto components, we will be able to achieve synergy in this class

It’s not even support for the actual production programmes which is important. The same can be said for the development of our own platforms that I spoke about. What is of primary importance – just as it has been several times before in our history – is supporting demand. Here we can see the great effect achieved through the concessional car financing programme, which was launched by the Ministry of Industry and Trade back in the middle of the summer

Looking at the moment we are in – a critical juncture not only for the automotive industry, but for all industries and the country as a whole – we of course see that we need to come up with new strategic aims. And in principle this is already being done in line with the President’s order

If we speak about a specific moment, we can say that we have indeed already passed the most acute phase of this crisis. After a long period of downtime, and after moving to a four‑day working week, AVTOVAZ managed to resume production in June of this year

Reform of the Construction Industry. Transition to a New Mechanism of Housing Construction
For us, the transition to new market regulation rules using escrow accounts will be fairly painless. When we made calculations for almost each project that our company is implementing and put them through indicative offers of different major banks that offer working through escrow accounts, we saw that the financial model is improving due to reduction of loan debt burden
