Today, the indicators of gross territorial product, industrial production index, shipments and investments in fixed assets, taking into account small business, are formed by Rosstat only at the level of the subject. To identify reserves for further socio-economic development, maximizing the potential and specifics of municipal districts, it is necessary to consider the possibility of developing data indicators at the municipal level," said Midkhat Shagiakhmetov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan and Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan.
