In her speech, Natalia Kondratova, First Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan and Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Department, noted that the key task of ensuring the smooth operation of enterprises is to increase the effectiveness of implemented support measures aimed at updating outdated or worn-out equipment, expanding or updating production facilities, reconfiguring internal production processes, including their digitalization and optimization as well as increasing competitiveness by reducing the time of the production cycle, logistics costs for raw materials and finished products, and increasing labor productivity.
The deputy minister also noted that due to the lowering of the refinancing rate, interest rates on federal programs are decreasing, while the preferential basis remains for republican programs. In addition, the range of potential recipients of microfinance support is expanding in the republic due to the launch of new products.
Regarding the mandatory labeling of construction products, a list of mandatory labeling products was announced, which entered into force on September 1 of this year, as well as innovations that will enter into force on December 1, 2026.
