The Governor stressed that the region has adopted a large package of measures to support small and medium-sized businesses, which have suffered heavy losses.

It is clarified that the authorities have also taken a number of additional support measures, including tax incentives, a reduction in the rate of the simplified taxation system, the provision of tax preferences and deferrals for a number of taxes.

Tsybulsky added that this year, to reduce the budget deficit, the regional authorities will need to borrow money.
