Bankruptcy of CJSC Metrostroy
The bankruptcy of CJSC Upravlenie -20 Metrostroy lasted 4 years, the end of this process was set on February 7, when the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region decided to complete the bankruptcy procedure, which was initiated by the Service Federal Tax No. 23 for St. Petersburg in 2019. The company owes the budget 62.2 million rubles.
During the subsequent procedure, the company’s creditors demanded another 141 million rubles from the company, but their claims were rejected. An audit of the company’s activities revealed no signs of fictitious or deliberate bankruptcy, so no one was held accountable.
As reasons for the bankruptcy, the company itself cited the lack of financing for the execution of government contracts during the construction of metro facilities and the execution of orders from the city administration in preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. company property is currently for sale. It is a land with an area of 62 thousand square meters. m., worth 2.45 billion rubles. and equipment for a total cost of 646.3 million rubles.
The situation with Metrostroy in St. Petersburg has been going on for several years. At the same time, the pace of metro construction in the city is clearly insufficient.

City officials have been talking about construction plans for years; Versions of the metro map with new stations and lines are periodically published on the Internet. On February 6, it became known that the coordinating council for the development of the transport system of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region plans to request 35.7 billion rubles from the federal budget. for the construction of the Kudrovo metro station.

The cargo transshipment company became property of USC
100% of the shares of the company “Commercial Center, Transport and Forest (KCTL) will be transferred to the authorized capital of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), according to a decree in this regard was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 7. During the share transfer process, which will last 12 months, the company will be under the management of USC.
As a reason for the actual nationalization of the company, the media cited the activities of the former owner Alexander Abrosimov, who through her took away the assets of the defense plant, which led to the bankruptcy of Severnaya Verf. It is noteworthy that in May 2023, Alexander Abrosimov resigned from the position of business ombudsman of St. Petersburg with the phrase “by his own will.” The media already wrote then that his move was related to the transfer of the company to state assets. A month earlier, the shares of the company he owned became state revenue.

Loans to companies from the Industrial Development Fund
111 million rubles. will allocate the Industrial Development Fund for specific loans to companies. These funds will be used to purchase fixed assets and equipment. Loans are granted at a preferential rate. They will be received by manufacturing companies dedicated to the production of import substitution products.
The money will be received by PeterTrustEngineering LLC, PSK LLC, Universaldetal LLC and Tekhnoklip CJSC. With the help of loans they will be able to acquire turning and milling machining centers.
Let us note that under the conditions of Western sanctions, Russian companies were deprived of the opportunity to obtain loans from foreign banks, so the only source of raising borrowed funds remained the domestic banking sector. With a refinement rate of 16%, the price of a business loan will be greater than this value, which automatically makes the cost of servicing the loan greater than the profitability of production. Therefore, the government is resorting to targeted loans to the industry. Against the background of data from the Central Bank, Russian banks earned a record 3.3 trillion rubles in 2023. profits, the imbalance in the Russian economy, which functions primarily in the interests of financial capital, becomes evident.
