Khinstein and Manturov discussed investments and federal support of the Kursk region

The Governor of the Kursk region Alexander Khinshtein discussed with Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov prospects for the development of regional industry. Special attention was paid to the mechanisms of federal support.

Since the start of the Industrial Development Fund in the Kursk region, 20 projects worth over 5 billion rubles have been financed. This support contributed to the growth of the index of processing industries in the region by 11.7% in the eight months of 2026, which is significantly ahead of the all-Russian indicator.

This year, more than 2 billion rubles were allocated for the recapitalization of the regional fund. These funds are used both to compensate for damage to affected businesses and to launch new investment initiatives.

"Enterprises primarily need preferential loans for raw materials, components and investment purposes, so I proposed to consider the possibility of providing additional capitalization in this format," Khinshtein said.

During the meeting, other important issues for the regional industry were touched upon. It was about the synchronization of procurement for the military-industrial complex and the problems of insurance of defense enterprises from drone attacks, terrorist attacks and sabotage. Insurance companies often refuse to include such risks in policies or offer inflated rates. Alexander Khinshtein assured that the federal center will find solutions to these issues.

Considerable attention was paid to the creation of the Fatezh Industrial Park, for which 4.65 billion rubles were allocated. Agreements have already been reached with ten investors to support their projects on the principle of “one window”. It is expected that this will attract 35.5 billion rubles of investment and create 1.7 thousand new jobs.

In addition, three projects are being developed in the region to create technology parks with a total cost of 1.43 billion rubles. It is planned that the new sites will begin to operate in 2028-2029.
