New reality era coronavirus: the President had to live to carry the meeting to support the construction industry. Such need, according to GDP, has arisen in connection with the “dirceu graphics” and the approach of the event (as subsequently it turned out it was a call to XI Jinping), which cannot be postponed. “Mr. Belousov, you think?”- Putin asked permission from the first Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov. “Whatever you say, Mr President!” agreed on the video slightly startled official.

Also, the state is ready to subsidize interest rates on loans received by construction companies. Ng they must commit themselves to keep the employment and in time to complete the construction of homes, scheduled to be commissioned in 2020-2021 years. “We need to avoid protracted. People should be confident that their apartment will be built with quality in time”, – said Putin. 50 billion rubles, he said, will be the state guarantees the HOUSE.Of the Russian Federation, which is headed by Vitaly Mutko.
