Ufa entered the first wave of 45 cities for the implementation of urban development projects with the support of VEB.RF. This was reported by the press service of the corporation with reference to the Deputy Chairman of VEB.RF Alexei Sorokin.

“Urban residents amount to three-quarters of the country's population. Today, Russian cities are faced, in many ways, with similar problems: the need to upgrade the housing and utilities services fund, the need to modernize public transport, and the lack of effective technologies for processing solid household and municipal waste. We believe that solutions to these problems can be packaged into cost-effective projects that will provide a capital return,” said Alexey Sorokin.

The corporation is currently considering 109 projects in 45 cities. Many of them are projects in the field of modernization of public transport. VEB’s main banking tools in these projects are concessions, infrastructure loans, and leasing of new equipment.
