“A total of 82 subjects submitted applications for 1.1 trillion rubles. This is more than two times more than the limit, which means that the program is very much in demand with the regions,” Khusnullin said.
A total of 485.4 billion rubles in loan applications were submitted under the regional limit, the other 623.7 billion rubles will be granted on a competitive basis, Khusnullin said.
