“In the Trans-Baikal Territory, in the first half of the year there was a significant increase in industrial production - 4.5%, growth in retail trade, services, real wages and unemployment decreased by 1%. This separately deserves attention, because it interrupts the long-term reverse trend, when the level of GRP (gross regional product. - RT ), real incomes and unemployment increased every year, ”the acting head of the region said.
Osipov also spoke about the work of the Far Eastern Hectare program.
"Far Eastern hectare" earned dynamically. We consciously went to move the boundaries of the territory in which the hectare is provided, as close to the settlements as possible ... People are actively disassembling it and now the main thing is to strengthen our budget capacities and see what support methods we can help people develop this hectare, ” - he said.
Earlier it was reported that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed an order on the additional allocation of more than 15.5 billion rubles for the development of centers of economic growth in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) in 2019-2021.
In November 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory were included in the Far Eastern Federal District.
