“Now in Russia there are 71.3 thousand construction in progress (ONS), which are financed from budgetary sources (open and closed data),” the agency’s website says.

It is noted that the largest number of problematic construction projects was identified in Bashkortostan (43%), Dagestan (39.3%) and the Tver region (27.2%).

The smallest number of long-term construction was recorded in Tatarstan (1.3%), Lipetsk region (2.6%) and Jewish Autonomous Region (3%).

Earlier, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill aimed at strengthening the protection of the rights of participants in shared construction. The document was introduced by a group of deputies headed by the chairman of the committee on natural resources Nikolai Nikolaev. The project establishes the grounds for the exclusion of construction projects from the register of problematic ones, provides for the possibility of bankruptcy of a developer making payments to citizens, regardless of whether the developer pays contributions to the compensation fund, including to members of housing construction cooperatives.

The document also establishes the obligation of the developer to update the project declaration on a monthly basis.
