On April 22, the government of the Ryazan region hosted an off-site meeting of the Coordination Council of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of the Central Federal District (CC RSPP Central Federal District), which was chaired by the Chairman of the CC RSPP of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Board of JSCB "Russian Capital" Mikhail Kuzovlev. The event was attended by the first deputy chairman of the regional government, Sergei Samokhin, heads of regional ministries and departments, representatives of the banking sector, heads of enterprises in the Ryazan region and other regions of Russia, and members of public organizations.
Sergei Samokhin, speaking with a report, noted that in the current economic conditions, support for existing enterprises capable of producing import-substituting products is of particular importance. The work of the regional government to create a favorable investment climate involves, first of all, improving the legislative framework that protects the rights of investors and stimulates them. Changes have been made to the relevant regional law: the list of priorities for areas of investment activity has been expanded, the minimum capital investment threshold for projects applying for state support has been reduced, the period for providing state support has been increased from three to five years, in the period from 2015 to 2018, for any investment projects, a reduction in the income tax rate in terms of crediting to the regional budget by 4.5% has been provided, and there has been an exemption from property tax. Particularly significant projects are also exempt from payment of transport tax, and subsidies have also been increased for such projects.
Today we can already talk about some projects that took advantage of anti-crisis measures - this is the project for the construction of a complex for the production of thermal insulation, the construction of a deboning shop, packaging and warehouses for storing meat products in the Rybnovsky district and the construction of a bioecological plant in the Alexander Nevsky district. As of January 1, 2016, more than 200 investment projects are being implemented in the region totaling 256 billion rubles

The first deputy chairman of the regional government added that a number of large investment projects will be completed this year, in particular for the construction of high-strength fastener factories.BERVEL", the Logicruf thermal insulation plant and a new workshop for the production of road barriers of Tochinvest JSC. In total, there are 16 investment projects operating in the region that enjoy state support, the volume of investments attracted through them is more than 35 billion rubles, additional tax revenues to the regional budget amount to nine billion rubles with state support of 5.5 billion rubles. Currently, the issue of creating a regional industrial fund is being considered, the funds of which are planned to be provided as preferential loans for a period of three years for the purchase of modern equipment and technologies. As for supporting small and medium-sized businesses, in 2015 167.4 million rubles were allocated for these purposes. 1024 small and medium-sized businesses received this support.
