Time has shown that thanks to these measures, even in difficult economic conditions, we managed to preserve the reserves of housing under construction for further growth of housing construction,” the Deputy minister stressed.
At the conference, in addition to the problems of the modern mortgage lending market, the possibilities of mechanisms for the development of housing construction were discussed. As Ilshat Gimayev noted, one of the main indicators is the number of construction permits issued.

A separate item of the report was the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, which expands the list of infrastructure facilities, the construction or reconstruction of which can be carried out according to simplified procedures.
This new measure of support for the industry allows, through the use of a simplified procedure for allocating land plots, accelerated examination of projects and development of documents on the planning of the territory, to reduce the total construction time. The list includes kindergartens, schools, medical and obstetric centers, sports and recreation complexes, children's art schools and other social institutions.
“Thanks to changes in federal legislation and the launch of new mechanisms to support the construction industry, work is underway to increase the reserves of promising new construction,” Ilshat Gimayev said.
