You are supporters of Tatarstan, you are our friends and partners. We feel it and really appreciate it.

We hold many All-Russian and International events, which are widely covered in the federal media. You do it in a professional manner. Thank you for this! ”- Tatarstan President addressed the meeting participants.

 

He briefly summed up the outgoing year. Rustam Minnikhanov said that all 40 programs have been successfully implemented in the republic. The economic growth rate exceeded 101%. “Of course, the indicators could be higher, but this is due to restrictions in oil production, problems in the automotive market and the petrochemical market. Nevertheless, we believe that Tatarstan has a stable economy. All our plans have been implemented. I informed the President of Russia Vladimir Putin about this as part of his recent visit to Naberezhnye Chelny for the 50th anniversary of KAMAZ, ”said the President of Tatarstan.

The President of Tatarstan emphasized that the leadership of the country has set serious tasks that are called upon “to change the country in the next 5 years.” “National projects cover all spheres of life: transport infrastructure, education system, medicine, ecology and many other areas. These large projects will change the quality of life in our country. Some believe that it is impossible to achieve the inherent parameters. But, in my opinion, there are no impossible tasks. As for our republic, we are fulfilling all the parameters so far and will continue this work, ”he said.

 

At the same time, Rustam Minnikhanov noted that the effective implementation of national projects requires a number of systemic decisions by the Government of the Russian Federation.

 

One of the questions was devoted to the topic of taxation of self-employed citizens. Rustam Minnikhanov said that Tatarstan has fulfilled the planned indicators for the registration of self-employed – 60 thousand people. “This is a very serious step to legalize your income, to form a good credit history. This law allows you to earn up to 2.5 million rubles per year. There are two categories of people: those who enter the legal sector and young people who are taking their first steps in entrepreneurial activity, ”he said.
