Official: Russia may follow risk scenario in construction industry

MOSCOW, Oct 26 (PRIME) – Russia’s construction industry can develop under a risk scenario, although the authorities will do their best to follow the basic one, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said at a government meeting on Wednesday.

"The strategy envisages two scenarios: basic and risk. There are currently many risks due to the external restrictions and other factors, but we will do our best in order to fulfill the basic scenario," Khusnullin said.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin offered to approve a construction industry strategy until 2030, which was considered at the meeting. He called the strategy ambitious.

According to an earlier statement by Khusnullin, the strategy is united with the public utilities development plan and envisages about 160 trillion rubles of investment.
