The Government of the Russian Federation was instructed to introduce amendments to the terms for the Far Eastern Mortgage programme. The terms will provide for subsidising interest rates of up to 2 percent annually on mortgage housing loans for young families buying a flat in the primary market up to January 1, 2030, in the regions of the Russian Federation, the territories or parts of territories that are classified as Arctic zone land territories.

Instructions to the Government of the Russian Federation, along with the Defence Ministry and government executive bodies of the Murmansk Region, concern major repairs of the Sports Centre for Marine and Physical Training (Severomorsk) of the Central Army Sports Cub affiliate.
