    NANJING, June 4 (Xinhua) — A nationwide service consumption campaign was launched in Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu Province, on Tuesday, the latest major initiative to boost growth in the sector.

    The event, organized by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China and China Media Group, with the support of the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Commerce and the Nanjing People’s Government, aims to cultivate new consumption points in the service sector and thereby create a new consumption architecture characterized by interaction and favorable circulation between supply and consumption.

    The campaign will involve more than 160 key events involving government agencies, national industry associations and leading enterprises to create new consumption scenarios, stimulate consumer potential and expand the supply of high-quality services to meet the diverse demands of the population.

    In 2024, Jiangsu Province’s service consumption expenditure accounted for 46.3% of the province’s total consumption expenditure, 0.2 percentage points higher than the national average. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Schools, clinics and sports complexes: what social facilities are being built in the city

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    About 230 social infrastructure facilities are being built in the capital using municipal and extra-budgetary funds. Among them are educational, medical, sports and cultural institutions. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “Currently, 149 educational and 45 sports facilities, more than 20 buildings for medical organizations and 12 for cultural institutions are being built in the capital using all sources of financing. Of the total number of social facilities under construction, 193 are being built by investors. Among them are 128 educational facilities, 42 sports complexes, 15 health and wellness institutions and eight cultural and educational facilities. In particular, in total, more than 78 thousand school and preschool places will be created in the capital at the expense of the city and investors, and clinics and medical centers will be able to accept about four thousand patients per shift,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    Modern buildings appear next to new residential developments and also complement the social infrastructure of historically established areas of the city.

    “Developers are actively involved in creating comfortable and modern social infrastructure: they are building kindergartens, schools, medical centers and sports complexes along with housing. In the future, the educational facilities they build will provide the capital with an additional 68 thousand school and preschool places. For example, in the Yuzhnoye Medvedkovo district, a kindergarten is being built on the territory of a new residential area on Polyarnaya Street. The area of the building will be about 4.4 thousand square meters, it is designed for 220 pupils,” added the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy of the City of Moscow

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    Permits for the construction of all facilities were issued by the capital’s State Construction Supervision Committee. According to the head of the department Anton Slobodchikova, the committee supervises 209 buildings of various social purposes. As part of control and supervision activities, inspectors check the compliance of the erected structures and materials used with the requirements of the design documentation. Specialists of the subordinate Center for Expertise, Research and Testing in Construction carry out instrumental control, including finishing work. This guarantees the quality and safety of schools and kindergartens during their further operation.

    Investors also pay great attention to the development of sports infrastructure. Thus, in the Severnoye Butovo district, a sports and recreation complex with a football field and tennis courts will appear. Its total area will be more than 10 thousand square meters. The facility will appear near the Butovsky forest park at the address: Sadki communal zone, Polyany street, building 12, plot 2.

    Schools, kindergartens and sports centers: what social infrastructure facilities are being built in the capital

    Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced plans for a large-scale renovation district sports facilities.

    The construction of social facilities in Moscow corresponds to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Premiere of the film “Impostors”. Life against the backdrop of historical events and a dialogue with Pushkin

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    A pre-premiere screening of Maria Reizen’s film “Impostors” took place. The action takes place in October 1993: against the backdrop of historical events, two lovers try to understand the circumstances of the death of a famous director and save his last film.

    Producer Georgiy Lordkipanidze said: “We must remember that we live in a history textbook. It does not end, and God willing, it will not end for a long, long time. It is fascinating and pleasant in its own way. This knowledge makes life much easier when you understand that you live in history, and it continues. This is its lesson – what happened once in one form or another will definitely happen again, will happen again.”

    The film “Impostors” is a very transparent statement on this topic. It is about people who find themselves on yet another broken-off ice floe among moving tectonic plates. The relationship of oneself to events, proportion – it seems that this is what the film screams about, if the entry point into it is the story of the main character. And the understanding that everything is repeating itself, and people have not drawn global conclusions, does not save the viewer from his own drama.

    The authors rethink Pushkin’s “Boris Godunov” through the “Time of Troubles” – the autumn of 1993. It seems to be the first artistic attempt to live through that period. 30 years is a sufficient period for a film to become historical. With every detail verified, the film is more of a discourse, a metaphor and a philosophical statement. Godunov runs through the film like a dotted line, but such that the main action is perceived precisely through him – as a foundation on which everything is strung.

    Pushkin the philosopher

    Alexander Sergeyevich wrote Boris Godunov 200 years ago, and it was, as the creators of the film rightly note, the first realistic historical drama filled with psychologism, the author of which violates all the laws that prevailed not only in Russian but also in world dramaturgy – the unity of place, time and action, the unity of genre and style of speech, the subordination of the plot to a love affair.

    At that moment, Pushkin becomes a historian and political thinker, gives a philosophical definition of the fate of Russia. And perhaps such a film seems to give the viewer a new Pushkin, which significantly expands the boundaries of the film itself. This intersection with many worlds at once: literature, philosophy, history, is the beginning of a big conversation, which, of course, goes on continuously, but the film brings it to a wider audience. An interesting phenomenon is how cinema becomes a starting point for a big discourse and how, going beyond itself, it can lay claim to eternity.

    “It seems to me that the form of this film allows us to hope that it will be seen not only by those who watch it in the coming weeks of distribution or later, when it goes on television platforms. This is a film that you can discover for yourself after some time,” explains Georgy Lordkipanidze. As in Pushkin’s “Boris Godunov”, the plot of “The Impostors” centers on ordinary people. The complicated, year-long relationship of the main characters is a real love drama. They find themselves drawn into a detective story, which is intensified by the events that take place. The turmoil of autumn 1993 erases everything that was, becomes stronger for each of them, but gives life new meaning. This is a personal tragedy and a tragedy for the country.

    Multi-layered and precise in every detail

    “The Impostors” is a multi-layered film. The viewer can be on one level, or can try to exist on all of them at once, which is certainly better because it provides a deeper immersion. But still, this is a film for everyone – and it is exactly what the person watching it is: well-read, living his own drama, searching or tired.

    The film contains many metaphors. The theme of the holy fool refers, for example, to the very essence of foolishness in Rus’, and to films, and to parables. The creators of “The Impostors” ask themselves and the viewer precisely calibrated questions, but great art always implies that the answers must be sought independently.

    This carefully assembled picture from the autumn of 1993 is the perfect work of production designer Evgeny Mitta, who accurately recreated the spirit of that time. “In general, this is already considered a historical film by cinematic standards. Quite a lot of time has passed, all this equipment no longer exists in the current media space. And we had to search quite well for some individual parts of the equipment and try to recreate it all,” says Evgeny Mitta.

    But it all started with a script written by Sergei Shumakov, the general director and editor-in-chief of the Kultura channel. That is why the story through the eyes of journalists looks as plausible as possible. Sergei Shumakov, in essence, showed the work of those he understands best, especially since he himself worked in television in 1993 and was in the television center building on the night of October 3-4.

    “I think the experience of documentary filmmaking helps, because the chronicle was the most difficult thing we did. The entire process of finishing the film took three years, but the chronicle took one and a half of that. Plus, during the preparation process, we worked on the chronicle, because there were documentary filmmakers who were separately from me preparing it for the set. In order to watch it before the motor, the group watched the chronicle – everyone remembered what happened. Some did not remember, but saw it for the first time – those who were younger. In general, the chronicle was probably the most difficult,” says Maria Reizen.

    Reincarnations

    The cast of “The Pretenders” is so impressive that it’s worth watching the movie just for them: Linda Lapinsh, Sergey Shakurov, Egor Beroev, Vladimir Guskov, Anna Mikhalkova, Mikhail Filippov, Aleksandr Adabashyan and others. It’s especially nice to see Ildar Gainutdinov, who plays the role of False Dmitry.

    “As for the role, my hero, it was very multi-staged. If we specifically proceed not from the excerpt, if, let’s say, we take on a full-fledged character, then we could take, for example, a story – how a person is changed by his desire for power, how his dream becomes some kind of nightmare. That is, this is a very, very complex work,” notes Ildar Gainutdinov.

    “The Pretenders” is a film that goes beyond itself. It is a serious attempt to understand the autumn of 1993, a large open dialogue with Alexander Pushkin, a history of stories, a film with a very precise inner time and brilliant work of the entire team. A magnificently depicted life of ordinary people who found themselves in the center of a historical breakdown.

    The film will be released on June 5th and can be seen in the Moskino chain of cinemas.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic students have developed a model for shelf development

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU together with the international logistics company “Aurora Logistics” held a student case championship. Participants were looking for practical solutions for the formation of an effective transport and logistics model for the development of hydrocarbon deposits on the shelf.

    The championship started in early April, when the teams received tasks from the company. For one and a half months, 25 teams from 14 cities in Russia, Belarus and Uzbekistan prepared solutions to defend them in the final. The event was held in a mixed format: in person, online and remotely.

    The guys worked on effective transport and logistics solutions for the development of offshore hydrocarbon deposits. Difficult climatic conditions, environmental risks and the need to minimize costs dictate the search for breakthrough solutions. The participants presented projects that combine digital technologies, environmental responsibility and economic efficiency.

    For our institute, it is important to organize and hold events together with the economic sector. It is the case championship format that puts participants in a real situation of finding solutions in conditions of time shortage and uncertainty with some data. The key here is the presence of tasks from partner companies and the competitive element, plus online materials and webinars with experts. All this involves students in the process, motivates, and provides practical experience, – noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade.

    The jury included representatives of Aurora Logistics: Deputy General Director for Offshore Project Logistics Alexander Kornalevsky and Head of the HR Department Olga Abramova, as well as Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina, Professors Mikhail Afanasyev and Alexander Ilyinsky, Associate Professors Anna Timofeeva, Natalya Alekseeva, Lyudmila Medvedeva and Dmitry Metkin, Senior Lecturer Vyacheslav Melokhin and Assistant Konstantin Sharlai.

    The first place was taken by Elizaveta Dasayeva, Karina Malyukova, Yulia Eroshenko and Maria Vshivkova, representing the G. I. Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University.

    Second place was awarded to students of the Higher School of Industrial Management of SPbPU Anastasia Malashchitskaya, Egor Korolev, Denis Krutov and Alexander Khomyakov.

    Third place was shared between two teams. These are students of the Belarusian State Economic University Ekaterina Meshkova, Maria Zakharchuk, Olga Shutova, Ksenia Sarkan. And students of the Higher School of Industrial Management of SPbPU Artur Prokhorov, Diana Svitkova, Alexandra Karkhanova and Nikolai Kazmin.

    The students were awarded winners’ diplomas, certificates, special diplomas for individual nominations and valuable gifts from Aurora Logistics.

    This championship is the result of a strategic partnership between the Higher School of Industrial Management and the company “Aurora Logistics”, fixed in a cooperation agreement. It is extremely important for us that students solve real cases, not abstract problems. This is how our model of practice-oriented education works: through interaction with the industry, we prepare specialists who are ready to immediately get involved in work on complex projects, be it the Arctic or other points of economic growth, – emphasized the director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina.

    The students immersed themselves in the specifics of developing offshore hydrocarbon deposits and showed themselves to a potential employer. Special thanks to the members of the organizing committee: the head of the HR department of Aurora Logistics Olga Abramova and associate professor of the higher school Anna Timofeeva, – noted the main organizer of the championship, academic director of educational programs in oil and gas management Mikhail Afanasyev.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “Young Architects Are Changing the Face of Moscow” — Hussam Shakuf on New Principles in Organizing the Urban Environment

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Monumentality, modern technologies and movement into the future – this is how British architect and urban designer Hussam Shakuf sees Moscow. He visited the capital in 2021, and when he returned four years later, he did not recognize it at first – and does not hide his delight at the changes.

    Hussam Shakuf visited the 6th Moscow Interior and Design Week, which took place in the Manezh Central Exhibition Hall. There he gave a lecture entitled “Beyond Borders: Creating Inspiring Interiors and Public Spaces”. And in an interview with a correspondent from the mos.ru portal, the architect talked about what he likes about the Russian capital, whether new buildings should be combined with cultural heritage monuments, and what his vision of a smart city is.

    From old to new

    Hussam Shaqouf is best known for the projects he worked on with the renowned British firm Zaha Hadid Architects for 17 years. Among others, he designed an asymmetrical diamond-shaped shell in North Africa and the ellipsoidal headquarters of a major smartphone manufacturer in Shenzhen. Hussam Shaqouf also participated in the design of a business center in the southeast of Moscow, consisting of flat squares stacked on top of each other.

    The specialist highly praised the changes that have taken place in the capital’s architecture in recent years.

    “In Moscow, there are more buildings created by young architects who use parametrics in their design – computer modeling based on mathematical algorithms. These buildings feel dynamic, moving into the future,” the architect believes.

    From his point of view, there is also dynamism in the proximity of cultural heritage sites to modern buildings – this is a hint at the transition from the past to the present and future.

    “On the one hand, it is important when the city has buildings that are reminiscent of past eras. In those distant times, they were also a symbol of progress, and, of course, they need to be restored and maintained. On the other hand, when planning new objects, we always look ahead, asking ourselves: how will they fit into the metropolis in five years? Is it worth building retro-style buildings now just so as not to violate the concept of the street? I admit, I am for contrast. Let old mansions and avant-garde towers stand next to modern houses. After all, the future belongs to the new. Of the old that I see in Moscow now, Stalinist architecture is closest to me: these houses, although built in the middle of the 20th century, seem to be a foundation, a model for creating ultra-modern buildings, they have a sense of monumentality,” says Hussam Shakuf.

    He calls himself a bearer of the avant-garde DNA. At the same time, the architect admits that even in postmodernist projects it is important to take into account the cultural characteristics of the country and the city and organically integrate them into fantastic ideas and new technologies. Such is, for example, the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, created by Zaha Hadid Architects: the outlines of its roof reflect the waves of the Caspian Sea, and the swaying flames, referring to the ancient cult of fire that existed in Azerbaijan, and geometric figures – a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid.

    A city built with intelligence

    According to Hussam Shakuf, a modern city should be comfortable to live in. However, despite the architect’s commitment to everything modern, he is against a metropolis consisting entirely of roads and cars.

    “It’s healthier to walk. If you walk for 35 minutes, you’ll quickly relieve stress, which means you’ll be happier and more productive. I’d also install smart traffic lights everywhere, which would reduce car traffic,” says our interlocutor.

    Another thing is that the size of Moscow and other world capitals hardly allows for walking. But Hussam Shakuf knows how to solve this problem.

    “Large cities need large multifunctional complexes where people can live, study, work, and have fun, then they won’t have to go anywhere, and the economy of the area where such a complex is built will develop. And this is exactly the concept I call a smart city,” the architect notes.

    He also does not support the widespread launch of air taxis, as is planned in some cities in the future. “This means that passengers will land on roofs and enter buildings from above. What is the point of having a ground floor then? If this is the method of moving around the city that wins in the future, we will have to design buildings completely differently,” says Hussam Shakuf.

    Places for communication

    According to Hussam Shaqouf, the interior structure of a building is what connects architecture with man.

    “I recently worked on a project for a business center for a Chinese smartphone manufacturer in Shenzhen. First of all, I tried to put myself in the shoes of the company’s employees and understand what could inspire them when they come to work. Firstly, it is a view of the city and the Shenzhen Bay, so the walls are glass. Secondly, convenient passages from one tower to another, and you can get into the buildings both from the street and from the interior. Thirdly, spacious rooms where people communicate with each other and drink coffee,” the architect says.

    In his opinion, the most important thing in the interior is accessible and at the same time isolated public spaces. In particular, he would like to build houses in Moscow where the courtyard is at the level of the second floor and is a podium: so residents could walk with their children and talk to each other without being distracted by passers-by and what is happening on the streets.

    “We currently discuss business and personal interests mainly on social networks. But is it really possible to really get to know a person this way? If every home or office had a place to meet with neighbors and colleagues, there would be no need for online correspondence,” Hussam Shakuf sums up.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Georgia: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2025 Article IV Mission

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    June 4, 2025

    A Concluding Statement describes the preliminary findings of IMF staff at the end of an official staff visit (or ‘mission’), in most cases to a member country. Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, or as part of other staff monitoring of economic developments.

    The authorities have consented to the publication of this statement. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF Executive Board for discussion and decision.

    Tbilisi: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission led by Mr. Alejandro Hajdenberg conducted discussions for the 2025 Article IV consultation with Georgia from May 21 to June 4, 2025, in Tbilisi. At the end of the visit, Mr. Hajdenberg issued the following statement:

    Georgia’s economy has been remarkably resilient despite heightened domestic and geopolitical uncertainty. Growth approached double digits in 2024, is projected at 7.2 percent this year, and is expected to converge to its long-term trend of 5 percent. Inflation has ticked up but remains close to its 3 percent target. Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves have recovered from last year’s lows and continued fiscal discipline has contributed to a further decline in public debt. However, risks to the outlook are elevated and challenges persist due to still high structural unemployment and income inequality. In this context, the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) should prioritize building additional reserve buffers while monitoring potential financial sector risks. Strengthening NBG’s governance and independence remains central to macroeconomic stability. Fiscal reforms should aim to raise additional revenues to finance development priorities, improve spending efficiency, and contain fiscal risks. Structural reforms should focus on sustaining strong growth and making it more inclusive, including by enhancing labor market opportunities and outcomes.

    Recent economic developments, outlook, and risks

    Economic activity has remained robust. Real GDP grew by 9.4 percent in 2024 despite domestic political tensions. Growth was driven by consumption, marking a shift from previous years when investment and net exports were the main contributors. Tourism rebounded to pre-Covid levels, while the information and communications technology (ICT) and transport sectors remained key drivers of growth, continuing to benefit from high skilled migrants and transit trade. The unemployment rate continued to decline, albeit remaining structurally high. With strong momentum continuing in the first four months of 2025, growth is projected to moderate slightly to 7.2 percent for this year before converging to its medium-term potential rate of 5 percent.

    Inflation has returned to target after undershooting for two years. Headline inflation averaged 1.8 percent over 2023 and 2024 but rose to 3.5 percent year-on-year in May 2025, mainly due to increasing food prices. Core inflation, however, remains subdued, with the NBG keeping the policy rate unchanged at 8 percent since May 2024. Inflation is projected to average 3.4 percent in 2025 and to converge to the NBG’s 3 percent target in 2026 along with easing domestic demand.

    The current account deficit narrowed in 2024 to 4.4 percent of GDP, with a similar projection for 2025, but reserve coverage remains below adequate levels. The improvement in 2024 was driven by lower imports, partly reflecting lower oil prices. Foreign direct investment (FDI) declined for the second straight year, in part reflecting the absence of new large greenfield projects. Gross international reserves have fallen from a peak of $5.4 billion in August 2023 to $4.5 billion as of April 2025––equal to 80 percent of the Fund’s Assessment of Reserve Adequacy (ARA) metric. Recent favorable inflows have allowed the NBG to offset the sizeable foreign exchange sales made before the October parliamentary elections.

    The fiscal deficit held steady at 2.4 percent of GDP in 2024, despite it being an election year, and is expected to remain unchanged in 2025. Robust tax revenues––supported by strong growth, tax policy measures in the financial and gambling sectors, and improved revenue administration––have helped finance social and capital spending. Amid stronger-than-expected economic activity, the 2025 budget target of 2.5 percent of GDP deficit is well within reach. Public debt, at 36 percent of GDP, has returned to pre-pandemic levels, with an increasing share denominated in local currency. The USD 500 million Eurobond maturing in April 2026 is expected to be rolled over smoothly.

    While uncertainty remains exceptionally high, risks to the outlook appear broadly balanced. The direct impact from tariffs imposed by the U.S. is limited as the U.S. accounts for only 2 percent of total exports—mainly ferroalloys, which are exempt. However, the indirect effects of heightened global trade tensions could be more significant. Weaker investor confidence and slower trading partner growth pose negative risks, but Georgia could benefit from lower oil prices and sustained trade diversion through its territory. A resolution of the war in Ukraine could unwind some gains linked to migration and transit trade but increased regional stability and reconstruction in Ukraine could be offsetting positive factors. Persistent domestic political uncertainty and sanctions affecting Georgia could dampen FDI, discourage tourism, and further pressure the lari. Healthy fiscal and financial sector buffers mitigate these risks.

    Monetary and exchange policies

    The NBG should maintain a broadly neutral policy stance while remaining flexible and data driven to ensure inflation expectations remain anchored. Although wage and employment growth have moderated and business confidence has weakened, heightened global uncertainty warrants caution in considering further policy rate cuts, particularly as the recent increase in domestic food prices may not prove transitory. Should inflationary pressures persist, a tightening of the policy stance may be warranted.

    Exchange rate flexibility, opportunistic reserve accumulation, and monetary policy communication should be enhanced. Efforts to rebuild reserve buffers should be sustained while allowing the exchange rate to act as a shock absorber. The NBG should continue to strengthen monetary policy transmission, effectiveness, transparency, and credibility. Communication of monetary policy should be strengthened by clarifying the NBG’s assessment of the balance of risks and how this informs policy decisions.

    Strengthening NBG governance and independence remains central to macroeconomic stability. The filling of the board vacancies and the governor position is a welcome first step. Efforts should now focus on amending the NBG law to: (i) ensure a non-executive majority on the NBG’s oversight board, (ii) limit the possibility of discretionary financial transfers to the government, and (iii) clarify and further strengthen [the NBG succession framework and] board member qualification criteria. Moving from a presidential to a collegial decision-making model is also advisable.

    Fiscal policy

    With public debt at sound levels, maintaining a broadly neutral policy stance over the medium term is appropriate. A fiscal deficit of 2.3–2.5 percent of GDP would help stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio near its current level. The shift toward domestic debt should proceed carefully, avoiding crowding out the private sector and monitoring borrowing costs and risks linked to a stronger sovereign-bank nexus. While good progress has been made, further tax policy and administration reforms that broaden the tax base and streamline tax expenditures—supported by a stronger medium-term revenue strategy—are needed to secure revenue for spending priorities.  

    There is considerable scope to enhance spending efficiency and further strengthen public investment management (PIM). Despite elevated levels of public investment, infrastructure quality remains below that of many emerging market peers, highlighting the need for more effective implementation of PIM processes, building on recent years’ improvements. Spending on education and health could be more efficient, to achieve better outcomes at similar expenditure levels. Spending reviews could help in this regard. Social assistance is relatively generous but targeting could be improved to prioritize the most vulnerable households.

    Sustained efforts are needed to manage fiscal risks and increase fiscal transparency. The authorities have taken significant steps in enhancing the Ministry of Finance’s financial oversight of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and maintaining this momentum will be important. Efforts should focus on legislation that would separate the state’s shareholder, regulatory, and policy functions beyond the energy sector, where implementation has recently taken place, and strengthen the corporate governance of SOEs. The authorities should address gaps in the coverage of fiscal reporting, particularly from non-market SOEs with significant fiscal risks.

    Financial sector

    Continued vigilance and reforms will help address long-standing and emerging financial sector risks. The banking system remains well capitalized and profitable, and the implementation of the IMF’s 2021 Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) recommendations is nearly complete. Key priorities going forward include enhancing the consolidated supervision of financial groups—particularly non-bank subsidiaries and cross-border activities, operationalizing a fully-fledged bank resolution framework, and improving competition in financial services. The NBG continues to implement its long-term dedollarization policy to support financial stability, and recently raised the FX loan threshold for unhedged borrowers further to GEL 750,000. Nevertheless, the share of unhedged foreign currency bank loans is still high, and the deposit dedollarization trend was interrupted amid heightened political uncertainty. Banks—especially smaller ones—have faced lari funding pressures, and the cost of funding has risen, potentially weighing on profitability. Consumer loans have grown rapidly, while riskier nonbank financing—including foreign currency bond issuances by real estate developers—has increased considerably. Neither risk is assessed to be systemic at this stage, but continued close monitoring is warranted.

    Structural reforms

    Structural reforms are needed to sustain high growth and make it more inclusive and job rich. Potential growth remains constrained by structurally high long-term and youth unemployment, low educational attainment, infrastructure bottlenecks in the transport and logistics sectors, and low sectoral productivity, especially in agriculture. An aging population, outward migration, and informality pose challenges for the labor market, along with persistent income inequality. Better targeting of agricultural support, improving teacher quality, and expanding vocational training would help raise rural labor force participation and facilitate the integration of workers into the formal economy. Remittances and return migration could be better leveraged to boost productive investments and knowledge transfers from returning migrants. Continued investment in transport and logistics infrastructure, as well as coordination with regional partners to harmonize fees and procedures, are important to support long-term competitiveness. Finally, the authorities should enhance judicial independence and strengthen the autonomy of the Anti-Corruption Bureau to improve the business environment.

    The mission team would like to thank the Georgian authorities and other counterparts for their close collaboration, candid and informative discussions, and warm hospitality.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The first kindergarten built using advanced large-module construction technology has opened in Moscow. Sergei Sobyanin reported this on his Telegram channel.

    “Such buildings are assembled like a construction set: super-large modules are delivered to the site and assembled in a short time. A significant part of the production cycle takes place on

    factory. This allows us to guarantee the quality of the facility,” the Mayor of Moscow noted.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin

    An important advantage is the durability and high degree of readiness immediately after production of such modules. They have all the necessary embedded parts for engineering systems, so their installation does not take much time – as well as facade and finishing works.

    Thus, thanks to innovative technologies, it was possible to reduce the construction time of the facility while maintaining its quality and ensuring the durability of the building.

    A new kindergarten for 300 children in Izmailovo with an area of 4.5 thousand square meters was built using funds from the Moscow City Targeted Investment Program. The above-ground part of the building required 114 modules, which were installed in just two weeks. For comparison, this stage of construction usually takes six to nine months.

    The three-story kindergarten has everything you need: it has 12 groups, sleeping areas, a gym and music room, a spacious lobby, and changing rooms. In addition, the building has a medical block and a full-cycle food block, administrative offices, and a security room. The interiors are decorated with paintings, and the facade is done in a calm color scheme.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Stir, Don’t Shake: HSE and AIRI Accelerate Further Training of Neural Networks

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    Researchers from the Higher School of Economics and AIRI have proposed a method for quickly fine-tuning neural networks: data is processed in groups, which are then mixed in an optimal way to improve their interaction. The method copes better than its analogues with generating and analyzing images, and fine-tuning text models. At the same time, it requires less memory and training time. Results The works were presented at the NeurIPS 2024 conference.

    The larger the neural network, the more difficult it is to quickly adjust it to a new task. Retraining a model from scratch is long and expensive. Therefore, developers are looking for low-cost ways to adapt it to a specific task while maintaining the overall quality of the original version.

    One of them is fine-tuning using orthogonal matrices: unlike alternative approaches, they preserve important features of the original model. But popular options like block-diagonal or butterfly matrices have drawbacks: they are either limited or require a lot of calculations.

    Researchers Faculty of Computer Science HSE and AIRI have proposed a new method for constructing matrices, which they call “Group-and-Shuffle”. Instead of working with all the data, they divide its parameters into small groups, process each one separately, and shuffle them together. This structure turned out to be both flexible and compact: it helps the model to more accurately adapt to the task, but at the same time requires less computation and memory.

    Based on GS matrices, the researchers developed the GSOFT method, a new implementation of orthogonal fine-tuning of neural networks. Unlike previous approaches, GSOFT uses fewer parameters, but maintains stability and training quality even with a small amount of data. The team also proposed a two-sided version of the method, Double GSOFT, which allows you to change the parameters on both sides at once, increasing the flexibility and accuracy of the model.

    “We figured out how to form orthogonal matrices using just two matrices of a special type, rather than five or six as in previous approaches. This saves resources and training time,” explains Nikolai Yudin, a research intern Scientific and educational laboratory of matrix and tensor methods in machine learning National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    The researchers tested the approach on three types of tasks. In additional training of the RoBERTa language model, the method worked better with a comparable number of parameters. In image generation, where the model must preserve the features of the original but adapt to the user’s request, GSOFT and Double GSOFT performed better than popular approaches such as LoRA and BOFT, while requiring less memory and training time.

    The authors also tested their approach on convolutional neural networks, which are most often used to analyze images and videos, such as in face recognition. They adapted GS matrices even for cases where the model needs to be highly resistant to noise and distortion.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Tatyana Golikova: The main events of the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the founding of the city of Yuryevets have begun

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova held a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the celebration in 2025 in accordance with the decree of President Vladimir Putin of the 800th anniversary of the founding of the city of Yuryevets in the Ivanovo region. The Governor of the Ivanovo region Stanislav Voskresensky, representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Rosmolodezh, and Rossotrudnichestvo reported on the program of key events and readiness to celebrate the city’s anniversary.

    “Yuryevets has many attractions that are important for the history of the Russian state and the history of the formation of small towns in Russia. Preparatory work for the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Yuryevets has been completed. The program of the main events of the celebration, which started on June 1 and will last until August 30 of this year, has been published. Some events related to restoration and major repairs will be completed in 2026-2027,” noted Tatyana Golikova.

    The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the plan to prepare for the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Yuryevets included 75 major events and projects financed from the federal and regional budgets. Among them are the repair of buildings, social infrastructure, street and road network, including repair of access roads, modernization of the city’s housing and utilities engineering system, improvement of urban spaces, restoration of cultural heritage sites, educational and cultural events.

    To date, major repairs have been completed at the Yuryevets Secondary School and the Central District Hospital, and all six city kindergartens have been repaired. Gasification of Yuryevets, including its historical part, is underway. The Volga embankment has been completely landscaped. 11 streets in Yuryevets have been repaired, as well as regional roads approaching the city, and street lighting has been updated.

    The Governor of Ivanovo Region Stanislav Voskresensky reported in detail on the program of key events for the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Yuryevets.

    “There is attention to Yuryevets, people come and are interested. I hope that all this will be converted into sustainable development of a wonderful small town. We do not set a main date in the cultural program; significant events will be held all summer. I would like to draw special attention to and invite everyone to a classical music concert as part of the V International Classical Music Festival “Cantata”, which will be held on June 12, Russia Day, on the embankment, from where a beautiful view of the sights of Yuryevets and the endless Volga opens up,” said Governor Stanislav Voskresensky.

    BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) — China is actively promoting the consumption of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in rural areas by creating an optimized policy environment.

    Five government departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Commerce, jointly issued a circular on Tuesday, according to which promotional activities will be carried out in a number of counties where the prevalence of NEVs is low and the market potential is large.

    Within the framework of such promotions, exhibition events and test drives will be organized, for which NEV car models with a good reputation and reliable quality that meet the needs of use in rural areas will be selected.

    The selection includes 124 models, both pure electric and hybrid, from domestic brands such as BYD, Geely, GAC Aion and Xpeng, as well as Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y.

    In order to optimize the support environment for the use of NEV vehicles in rural areas, after-sales service and repair companies, electric vehicle charging and battery replacement service providers, and financial services firms will also join the promotions.

    In the first four months of 2025, China’s NEV production volume rose 48.3 percent year-on-year to nearly 4.43 million units, while sales jumped 46.2 percent to 4.3 million, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed. NEVs accounted for 42.7 percent of the country’s total auto sales in the period.

    At the same time, according to official data, as of the end of March 2025, there were 13.75 million NEV charging infrastructure devices across the country, including 3.9 million public and 9.85 million private. -0-

    The RAEX-Analytics agency presented the results of the rating of the hundred best universities in Russia at the forum of universities “The Future of Higher Education”, where the speakers were the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy and the vice-rector for personnel policy Maria Vrublevskaya. Among the hundred best universities in the country, Polytechnic took 8th place.

    The rating included 166 universities from 40 regions of Russia. The most widespread category of universities in RAEX-100 are technical universities. The best included 37 such educational organizations, while a year earlier there were 35. Universities of engineering and technical profile not only expanded their presence in the rating, but also showed the best dynamics among all categories of participants. 54% of technical universities grew in the rating compared to last year.

    The high assessment of our university by the RAEX rating agency is not just an achievement, but a confirmation of our commitment to technological leadership and innovation in education. We actively cooperate with industry, introducing modern technologies and approaches into the educational process. This allows our students not only to gain theoretical knowledge, but also to develop practical skills necessary for a successful career in a rapidly changing world. We are confident that it is through partnership with industry that we will be able to prepare a new generation of specialists capable of solving complex problems and contributing to the development of the economy and society, – commented the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy.

    The number of students in the RAEX-100 universities is growing. In 2025, the number of students exceeded 1.5 million people for the first time. In the 2024-2025 academic year, the total number of students at the Polytechnic increased from 29,622 to 30,870 people. The 2024 admissions campaign showed record numbers – more than 130,000 applications.

    The rating agency also noted a change in the age structure of the teaching staff at universities included in the top 100. Thus, at SPbPU, the share of young specialists in the total number of scientific and pedagogical workers has increased by 5% over the past three years.

    At Polytechnic University, we pay special attention to the development of human capital, because we are confident that it is people who have the enormous potential for comprehensive growth and strengthening the university’s competitiveness. We strive to create conditions that contribute to the development of talents, skills and knowledge of our students and teachers, which, in turn, allows us to adapt to the rapidly changing requirements of the industry and ensure high quality education, – noted Vice-Rector for HR Policy at SPbPU Maria Vrublevskaya.

    When preparing the rating in 2025, statistical indicators were used in the questionnaire, as well as the results of online surveys of over 150,000 respondents: representatives of academic and scientific circles, students and graduates, employers. The rating functionality is determined based on the analysis of the following integral factors: conditions for obtaining a quality education (50%), the level of demand for graduates by employers (30%), the level of research activity (20%). In 2025, a new criterion appeared in the rating – “The number of graduates holding leadership positions in regional executive bodies.” It refers to the sub-rating for assessing the quality of graduates’ careers.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “Fathers and Sons.” How to View the Exhibition at the Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Museum of Russian Lubok and Naïve Art is hosting an exhibition called “Fathers and Sons,” dedicated to professional dynasties among naïve artists.

    “The idea of the exhibition was born in the same way that a TV viewer has a question after watching the last episode of their favorite series: will there be a sequel? And here, too, this cinematic technique was used to answer the question: did the works of famous classics of naive art have a sequel? Did the pictorial language of naive artists influence their own children and what came of it?” Alexander Klenchev, curator of the exhibition, art critic, and head of the cultural and educational activities sector of the Ilya Glazunov Gallery, shared with “Culture of Moscow”.

    Dynasties of masters are an important part of the history of our country, starting from Ancient Rus: jewelers, potters, furniture makers, toy makers and many others passed on their experience and skills to their descendants. The initiative to decorate everyday life “for oneself” — to paint the walls of the house, a spinning wheel, household utensils — also has a long tradition. This is how self-taught people appeared who dared to paint pictures “for the soul”.

    With rare exceptions, they began to engage in creativity only when all the work had been done, the children had grown up, the cattle had been sold, and free time, which had been practically absent before, appeared. For example, this is how Lyubov Mikhailovna Maikova, Aunt Lyuba from the village of Selishchi in the Tver region, explained her desire to start drawing.

    “We chose three life lines for the exhibition,” continues Alexander Klenchev. “The first two are naive artists, famous classics of the late 20th century – Pavel Leonov and Lyubov Maikova, included in the World Encyclopedia of Naive Art. And the third is the artist Valentina Cherepnina from the famous family of naive art collectors Sergei Tarabarov and Evgenia Cherepnina. We gave viewers the opportunity to feel the common and different in their works, to find in them the answer to the question of mutual influence and the presence of “common DNA.”

    The World of Naive Artists

    Aunt Lyuba’s son, tractor driver Anatoly Maikov, once said: “I can draw a hundred times better. A mother paints worse than a child, and these weirdos buy them and even pay money – nothing compared to my salary.” This is how the works of Anatoly Maikov ended up in the collection of the Museum of Russian Folk Art. He was born in 1939, began drawing when he was over fifty, and managed to paint no more than 30 hardboards.

    “The main feature of naive art is the author’s special original view, and this view, of course, is largely influenced by his life. Often, a representative of naive art is a person who has lived for a long time in one city or small town and through his special original prism of the creator tells us stories in paintings,” explains Alexander Klenchev. Thanks to the exhibition, one can understand how life and everyday life are seen in the Tver and Ivanovo regions, as well as in Moscow.

    Life, notes the curator of the exhibition “Fathers and Sons”, of course, is changing – globalization is penetrating the most remote corners of the world, and some experts say that modern naive artists are not as “naive” as the authors of the late 20th century. This is partly true, but nevertheless, naive artists continue to appear, create, surprise with creative energy and unusual plots of their paintings.

    “Naive art is a term that has not yet been fully formulated. But all experts agree that it is not a type, not a genre, not a trend, but a special artistic phenomenon. There are no conditions for the emergence of these creators – no one knows why an original artist suddenly appears. One can definitely say: these paintings convey some kind of original energy that attracts thousands of visitors and leaves no one indifferent,” says Alexander Klenchev.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Road surface repairs have begun on a section of the Kyiv Highway. City services specialists have begun replacing the asphalt concrete pavement. Work is underway from the intersection with the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) to the 41st kilometer of the Kyiv Highway in both directions.

    It is planned to lay over 900 thousand square meters of asphalt on the 21-kilometer-long roadway. Repairs are necessary due to wear of the top layer and the appearance of ruts, which reduces traffic safety. The last time the surface was changed here was in 2021.

    The work is carried out in several stages. First, specialists cut off the layer of old asphalt, then repair inspection wells and rainwater intake grates. After that, they lay a new asphalt concrete surface and apply road markings.

    Repairs are carried out at night, when there are fewer cars. Traffic is partially blocked.

    Kievskoye Shosse is a federal highway M-3, which is part of the European route E-101. The highway starts from the MKAD interchange with Leninsky Prospekt and passes through Kaluga and Bryansk. In the capital, the highway runs through TiNAO and is one of the main transport arteries connecting these administrative districts with other areas of Moscow and the Moscow region. In addition, you can get to Vnukovo Airport along it.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Residential buildings for the implementation of the renovation program will be built in Kapotnya according to the KRT project

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    In the south-east of the capital, three areas will be reorganized within the framework of the integrated development of territories (IDT) program. The corresponding draft decision has been posted on the websiteMoscow Government. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “The three sites subject to reorganization are located in Kapotnya and are part of one integrated territorial development project. The total area of the sites located near the Moscow Ring Road in an area with well-developed social and related infrastructure is 2.89 hectares. On each territory allocated for redevelopment, residential buildings will be built to implement the renovation program with an area of about 100 thousand square meters. Shops, pharmacies, cafes, and consumer services will be able to open on the first non-residential floors of the new buildings. Thus, the implementation of the project will create about 200 more jobs,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    The KRT project is being implemented on sites located near the banks of the Moskva River. Not far from the future new buildings is the nature reserve “Bank of the Moskva River in Kapotnya”, where recreation areas and places for walking are arranged.

    “In new buildings for the implementation of the renovation program, the total area of apartments will be approximately 61 thousand square meters. About 2.2 thousand Muscovites will move to the new housing. Children’s and sports playgrounds with safe surfaces will be arranged in the courtyards. The area near the houses will be improved: landscaping will be carried out, modern outdoor street lighting systems will be installed, convenient access roads to the houses will be organized, intra-block roads and sidewalks will be built. Thus, Muscovites will not only improve their living conditions, but will also receive a comfortable urban environment,” noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Urban Development Policy

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    According to the KRT program, multifunctional city blocks are being created, where roads, comfortable housing and all the necessary infrastructure are being designed on the site of former industrial zones and inefficiently used areas. Currently, 302 integrated development projects with a total area of about 4.2 thousand hectares are at various stages of development and implementation in the capital. This work is being carried out on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin.

    The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Sergei Sobyanin ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the program in twice.

    Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

Information security specialists, developers, SRE and QA engineers, analysts and other IT specialists could participate. The event was held online and offline in six Russian cities where T-Bank IT hubs are located.

    Three teams from NSU were in the top 20 of the competition. The team “Big Hamster Weekend Point PAS” took 1st place, the team “tralalero tralala” took 3rd place, and the team “CYBERSQD” entered the top twenty.

    The T-CTF competition has been running since 2023 and is based on web security, application and infrastructure security, cryptography, and general intelligence challenges.

    — These are classic “task” (i.e., with tasks, not attack-defense) CTF competitions. Within the framework of such competitions, participants solve various tasks from the world of information security and receive points for them. In particular, they hack programs, websites, codes, do computer forensics and much more, — said Roman Lebedev, a graduate Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) NSU and senior lecturer of the Department of Computer Systems (KafKS) FIT NSU, member of the winning team.

    The Big Hamster Weekend Dot PAS team also included Vladimir Sitnov, a graduate of the NSU FIT and assistant of the KAFKS FIT NSU, Roman Fedoseyev, a graduate Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSUThe team has participated in these offline competitions every year, and this year was no exception.

    — The impressions are excellent, these competitions delight us with the quality and spirit of the tasks year after year. Their authors are the SPbCTF community, which manages to offer tasks that usually have a simple and elegant solution, but at the same time it is difficult to find. In most other competitions there are fewer original ideas, and more monotonous work.

    There was a strict limit on the number of participants for each team – 3 people, the competition was quite serious, nevertheless, the NSU representatives managed to show excellent results.

    “We come to these competitions to spend time, like in the old days, and solve interesting problems. There was no goal to take prize places, it just happens,” Roman Lebedev shared his impressions.

    The team “tralalero tralala”, which took 3rd place, included Ivan Baksheev and Dmitry Makogon, both second-year master’s students at the NSU Institute of Information Technologies, and Dmitry Baryshev, a second-year master’s student at ITMO, St. Petersburg. The team “CYBERSQD”, which entered the top 20, included Alexey Vishnevsky, a first-year student at the NSU Institute of Information Technologies, Danis Ivanchenko and Ivan Dudnik, first-year students at PSUTI and SSAU.

    — We connected online from home, although it was possible to participate offline at the sites provided by the organizer. CTF is traditionally well organized thanks to the SpbCTF team. The tasks were quite complex, but interesting, ideological, and did not require monotonous work.

    In T-CTF, the traditional mascot is a capybara. This year, the capybara theme was presented to the maximum: a separate city of Kapibarovsk was created, and the scenarios of all tasks were dedicated to capybaras. All teams that entered the top 20 were presented with a toy capybara. And cash prizes were provided for 1, 2, 3 places.

    — I would like to note how well Novosibirsk has shown itself this year — the Siberians took 1st and 3rd place in the security league and 3rd place in the development league. Thus, the prize places were shared with Moscow 50 to 50, — Ivan Baksheev shared.

    The student team of the Civil Engineering Institute, led by senior lecturer of the ICI Liliya Talipova, won the IT championship “Digital Era of Transport”. The awarding of the champions took place at the industry forum “Road Construction in Russia: Innovations, Technologies, Quality”.

    The team was presented with diplomas and gift certificates by the head of the Federal Road Agency Roman Novikov and the director of the Digital Era of Transport Association Dmitry Olkhovikov.

    Students are already proposing practical solutions – from optimizing traffic lights to monitoring the laying of asphalt concrete. This is proof that young people are already shaping the future, – noted Roman Novikov.

    The event was held with the support and participation of the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services, the Federal Road Agency, the State Duma, the Federal State Institution Rosavtodor, the R.O.S.ASFALT Association, as well as specialized institutions and institutes. The organizer was the Digital Era of Transport Association.

    Teams of students from eight regions of our country took part in the championship. The ISI Vysota team (Artem Yenikeev, Evangelina Morozova, Alexandra Solodova, Anna Ryabova, Igor Tokarev and Yaroslav Sosnovsky) confidently solved the case from FSUE ZashchitaInfo Trans “Configuring traffic lights in a small town”. The Polytechnicians developed a model for optimizing traffic light phases.

    Working on the case solution became an excellent example of integrating mathematical modeling skills, programming and knowledge of the road industry to solve current problems of intelligent transport systems. It was the diversity of competencies in the team that allowed us to win. The championship demonstrated the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to solving modern transport problems, as well as the need to develop practice-oriented interaction between IT and the transport industry, – noted postgraduate student Evangelina Morozova.

    The ISI Vysota team demonstrated their skills in mathematical modeling and programming during the case study. It should be noted that most of the team acquired programming skills while studying in the Digital Departments project programs, Liliya Talipova emphasized.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Social entrepreneurs to gather in Moscow for the forum “More than business”

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    On June 27 and 28, the Digital Business Space will host the social entrepreneurship forum “More than Business”. The event, which is being held for the second time, will bring together entrepreneurs, representatives of city and federal departments, large companies, development institutions and non-profit organizations (NPOs).

    The organizers are Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of Moscow, Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) And Fund for the support of social projects.

    Over the course of two days, guests of the event will enjoy a rich program: presentations by more than 100 speakers, including international experts, a plenary discussion, a market with socially oriented products, as well as lectures, master classes, design laboratories, case studies and networking.

    “Social entrepreneurship is more than just a business. It is a way to solve important problems of society. That is why our forum with the same name helps future and current entrepreneurs find effective tools, gain knowledge and support. In Moscow, social business is one of the priorities, and a wide range of support measures is available for it: consultations, training, promotion, preferential lending and other measures,” she noted.

    Kristina Kostroma, head of the capital’s Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development.

    The forum program is divided into five key tracks:

    — “More than growth” — is dedicated to the possibilities of scaling your project and assessing the social impact. The track also provides information on whether scaling is always the only way to develop a social business;

    — “More than trends” — focused on new niches available to social business, as well as tools and mechanisms for accelerated development;

    — “More than partnership” is a track about joint work with big business, international experience, collaborations and regional trends in the development of social entrepreneurship;

    — “More than an idea” — about the creation and implementation of ideas that can help and inspire;

    — “More than a Market” is a track about new technologies and products that are used and created by Russian social entrepreneurs today to solve socially important problems.

    “Social entrepreneurs, along with non-profit organizations, are involved in solving key state tasks today. The result of this work is a fundamentally new quality of life for people with disabilities, as well as the formation of a sustainable idea of inclusion in society. Social entrepreneurs create projects that change the living environment of people: from small creative studios where people with disabilities work, to large-scale production of modern technical rehabilitation equipment. The Agency for Strategic Initiatives is working on the formation of a set of measures that contribute to the development of the sector, and therefore, allow a large number of our citizens to live a full and happy life,” emphasized Svetlana Chupsheva, General Director of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.

    Program of events

    The first day of the forum is devoted to analytics, assessments and forecasts. The main event will take place in the large hall — the plenary discussion “More than business”, where representatives of government bodies, large businesses, as well as active social entrepreneurs will raise issues related to the main directions of development of social entrepreneurship not only in the capital, but also throughout the country.

    Participants will also be able to learn about the experience of developing social entrepreneurship in foreign markets. International experts will share their practices, successful models and innovative approaches to conducting such an important business mission for society.

    On this day, the traditional award ceremony for the winners of the My Good Business award will take place, which is being held as part of the All-Russian competition of projects in the field of social entrepreneurship and socially oriented non-profit organizations.

Thanks to the forum, which united businesses with a social mission, government representatives and support institutions, there is an opportunity to exchange information and experience, which will accelerate the implementation of sustainable solutions in the social sphere and their impact.

    The second day of the forum will feature a discussion on social challenges and a regional block where you can learn about the system of support for social entrepreneurship in the country. Experts will raise the issue of burnout, share secrets of resolving conflict issues and help those who have lost their inspiration.
