This was reported by Yamal-Region.

“Yamal is the territory for the implementation of the country's largest industrial projects.

This is not only about traditional mining, but also about new prospects in processing.

To make these projects even more effective, it is necessary to develop transport infrastructure, ”said Artyukhov.

According to him, the Northern Latitudinal Railway is a key link that will change the logistics in the Arctic zone, allow developing its industrial potential and reduce the cost of new projects.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his address to the Federal Assembly, spoke about measures to support the regions. He said that the regions can be provided with infrastructure budget loans at a rate of no more than 3% for 15 years.
