The corresponding decree was signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. This was reported on the website of the Cabinet.

Previously, the limit on the amount of advances for government contract executives was 30%.

It is noted that the decision to increase was taken as part of a plan of additional measures to ensure sustainable economic development. 

“This measure is designed to support business in a difficult situation,” the report said.

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov said that the government is developing the third and fourth packages of measures to support business.
