Kalinin suggested a way to support investment growth

Alexander Kalinin, president of the public organization Opora Rossii, said on September 3 that in order to maintain investment growth in Russia, it is necessary to reduce the rate or support it through leasing.

"Of course, the investment rate should be less than 10%. But I think we will definitely not see such a rate this year, so we need to think about how to support investments by other means. In particular, we proposed for SMEs, for example, to significantly increase leasing <...> for domestic goods," Kalinin said in the Izvestia studio at the Eastern Economic Forum 2025 (WEF 2025).

He noted that leasing can be supported not by the budget, but by the instruments of the Central Bank.
