According to RIA Novosti, an exception will be investments of 2.5 trillion rubles in self-sustaining infrastructure projects from the list approved by the government, which the authorities are now developing.
Co-financing of such projects from the fund will take place even before the volume of the liquid part of the NWF reaches the threshold of 10% of GDP.
In April, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to develop incentive measures, including tax incentives, for businesses to increase the share of financing investment projects.
Later, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, announced that the government was working out options for attracting funds from the National Welfare Fund on a return basis for use in megaprojects of development.
In July, the Russian Ministry of Finance brought the de facto structure of the NWF to new standards, excluding the dollar.
