The Russian government will continue to create opportunities for Russian businesses to increase their own production and achieve technological sovereignty. Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin announced this when addressing the participants, organizers and guests of the forum of the all-Russian public organization of small and medium-sized businesses "Support of Russia".

"We will continue to create opportunities for increasing our own production in the country, ensuring technological sovereignty, so that the SME sector becomes a real driver of structural changes in the economy," the prime minister assured. Mikhail Mishustin stressed that there are almost 6.5 million representatives of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia. "You represent all sectors of the national economy, work in every region, are engaged in important, socially responsible work, create jobs and make our economy stronger," he said.

The prime minister recalled that the government had implemented several support mechanisms - both for those who are just starting, and for already established industries. According to him, one of the most effective among them was the umbrella guarantee for investment loans, aimed precisely at forming the basis for long-term development. There are incentive programs for microloans and equipment leasing. "In total, over 1 trillion 250 billion rubles of credit support was provided to the SME sector. And this is just last year," Mikhail Mishustin said.

The head of government also drew attention to the fact that young entrepreneurs and social enterprises can receive gratuitous grants. According to him, the obligation established for state-owned companies to carry out a quarter of purchases from small organizations has also proven itself well. In addition, the size of the advance payment was increased, and the deadline for the final settlement was accelerated. As a result, in three years the volume of such purchases almost doubled and exceeded 7 trillion rubles. The payment of tax under the simplified tax system and insurance premiums was postponed to a later date, due to which the business was able to save more than 800 billion rubles.
