Explanatory Note  
 
1. Support for Industrial Production in 1998 out of the Budget of the Russian Federation  
 
Under Federal Law No. 42-FZ of the Russian Federation “On the Federal Budget for 1998” 
dated March 26, 1998, the following forms of st ate support were available to certain economic 
sectors, specific enterprises and regions: 
- direct transfers of funds from the Fe deral Budget, including under federal 
programmes; 
- budgetary loans and credits; 
- deferred payments and exemptions in respect  of taxes payable to the Federal Budget; 
- tariff preferences in respect of railway trans portation granted to industrial enterprises; 
- grants and subventions to regions. 
 
The overall amount of funds allocated from th e Federal Budget in 1998 to finance the above 
forms of support amounted to 81,780.7 million rubl es, including for direct support for industrial 
production – 10,444.4 million rubles; for promoti on of region development – 54,885.6 million rubles; 
for funding various federal progr ammes – 16,450.7 million rubles. 
Details for each of the above types of assi stance are provided in Tables Nos. 1 to 7. 
1.1. Support for Industrial Enterprises 
 
Out of the total amount of support for indus trial production (10,444.4 million rubles were 
allocated to industrial production support in 1998) , the largest amount was provided in the form of 
direct transfers of Federal Budget funds to ente rprises, which totalled 6834.8 million rubles, or 65.1 1 
of the overall amount of assistance for industrial enterprises (for information on direct transfers see 
Table 1). Budgetary loans and credits were issued in 1998 for a total of 787.06 million rubles, which 
makes up 7.54% (see Table 2); tax subsidies, tax holid ays and exemptions in respect of payments to 
the Federal Budget amounted to 2,694.54 milli on rubles, or 25.80% of the overall amount of 
assistance (see Table 3); and railway tariff prefer ences were granted for a total of 128.04 million 
rubles, or 1.23% (see Table 4). 
1.1.1.  Direct Transfers of Funds from the Federal Budget  
The total payments from the Federal Budget und er this type of assistance amounted to 
6,834.80 million rubles, or 65.44% of the total dir ect support for industrial production in 1998. The 
expenses are mainly attributable to the fuel and energy sector and coal industry support, which cost 
5,254.27 million rubles (50.31% of th e total assistance provided) in 1998. 
Under 1998 budget, joint-stock companies dealing in energy and electric power supply in the 
Far East were to receive compensation for the diffe rence between the cost and the selling price to end-
users, and 1,200.00 million rubles were actually provided (11.49% of the total amount of assistance). 
In 1998, other branches of national industry we re directly financed from the Federal Budget 
(see Table 1). 
                                                      
1 1 In this Section 1.1 percentages are calculated on the basis of the amount of direct federal budget 
financed support for industrial production (10,444.4 million rubles).

 Please note that the purpose of the provision of subsidies to certain wood and timber-
processing enterprises as well as certain enterpri ses in light and textile industries was import-
substituting production (4.71 million rubles, 4. 00 million rubles, and 16.06 million rubles 
respectively). 
1.1.2.  Federal Budget Financed Loans and Credits  to Enterprises and Organisations  
In 1998, interest-bearing repayable loans were ma de out of the Federal Budget. The terms of 
such loans and their recipients are listed in Table 2.  Overall, such budgetary loans were granted in the 
amount of 787.06 million rubles, or 7.54% of the total amount of assistance. 
The largest amount of assistance in the form of  soft loans was provided to enterprises in the 
fuel and energy sector. Benefits granted to  such enterprises totalled 631.27 million rubles. 
The loan to open joint-stock company “Rossiis ky insulin” (“Russian In sulin”) (in the amount 
of 0.90 million rubles) was provided for the purposes of import-substituting production). 
1.1.3.  Deferred and Instalment Pa yments to the Federal Budget  
In 1998, deferrals were granted in respect of payments to the Federal Budget in order to 
financially stabilise certain industrial enterprises. Th e terms of deferrals and the value of benefits 
thereby received are indicated in Table 3. Under th e legislation currently in effect, the overall amount 
of deferred payments totalled 2,694. 54 million rubles, or 25.80% of the total assistance, including for 
chemical and microbiological enterprises the amount of 2,296,00 million rubles, or 21.98% of the overall amount allocated to the support of industrial enterprises. 
1.1.4.
 Railway Transportation Tariff Preferences for Industrial Enterprises  
Preferential tariffs for railway transportation were granted to suppliers of asbestos and 
cement for export . Thus, enterprises producing building materials received 128.04 million rubles 
worth of benefits, which accounted for 1.23% of the total assistance to industrial enterprises (see 
Table 4). 
1.1.5.  Consolidated Data  
Table 5 summarises the contents of Tables Nos. 1 to 4. 
1.2. Grants and Subventions to Regions  
Under the Law “On the Federal Budget for 199 8” 54,885.6 million rubles were dedicated to 
regional development in 1998 (see Table 6) . The funds were distributed as follows: 
- transfers to certain geographical regions . Actual disbursements totalled 30,377.3 
million rubles; 
- grants to closed administrative area s (under Federal Law No. 3297 “On Closed 
Administrative Areas” dated February 14, 1 992) for a total amount of 2,451.7 million 
rubles; 
- subventions to the city of Moscow for the ad ministration of its functions as the capital 
city of the Russian F ederation; subventions to the city of Sochi as a health-resort; and 
subventions to the Republic of Dagestan . The actual subventions made in 1998, 
amounted to, approximately, 563.5 million rubles for the city of Moscow, 103.3 
million rubles for Sochi, and 447.6 mill ion rubles for the Republic of Dagestan.

 Because a considerable part of the Russian territo ry is located in the Far North, in 1998 there 
were appropriations made to certain regions of th e Russian Federation for delivering supplies of food-
products and fuel amounting to 2,640.0 million rubles. 
1.3. Financing of Federal Special-Purpose Programmes  
The information on the implementation of fe deral special-purpose programmes relying on 
Federal Budget financing in  1998 is set out in Table 7. In 1998, 148 programmes were financed for a 
total of 16,450.7 million rubles. 33 such progra mmes were industrial programmes, which were 
financed with 3,054.3 million rubles, in which 799.3 is the research and development component. 
Support for certain industries was provided unde r other programmes as well. Support for food 
industry enterprises, for instance, was included in  the two-year “Baby Food Industry Development 
Programme”. The Agro-Industrial Complex Support Programme included financing of mechanical 
engineering enterprises manufacturing agricultural machinery (mechanical engineering enterprises 
received 26.7 million rubles for research and development). 
Regional support was provided under federal special-purpose programmes. 611.6 million 
rubles were dedicated  pointedly to 20 programm es for socio-economic region development. Regions 
would receive more financial support under other pr ogrammes, for example, the Russian Federation 
regions located in the Volga basin,  in the Russian Far East Area, in  the Caspian and the Lake Baikal 
area received funds under various ecological programmes. 
Table 7 lists all the programmes for which fi nancing was actually provided in 1998, for 
reference purposes. 
2. Support for Industry in 1998 Financed out of the Budgets  of the Russian Federation 
Regions  
Pursuant to Resolution No. 1505-r of the G overnment of the Russian Federation dated 
October 19, 1998, 82 regions of the Russian Fede ration submitted information regarding assistance 
granted to industrial enterprises and organisations from the regional budgets. 
Seven regions (Lipetsk oblast, Rostov oblast , the Republic of Tatarstan, the Chechen 
Republic, the Koryakyan autonomous district, Taim yr autonomous district and Chukotka autonomous 
district) did not submit any information. 
Analysis of the information submitted shows that in 1998 assistance was granted out of the 
budgets of the Russian Federation regional governments as well as out  of the budgets of cities and 
districts within the Russian Federation regions to  more than four thousand industrial enterprises, 
totalling 18,662.23 million rubles (see Table 8). 
The following four forms of assistance were provided: 
- support for enterprises financed with budget funds; 
- budgetary loans; 
- tax subsidies (tax holidays and/or exemptions  from payments to budgets of all levels 
as well as to social and territorial funds; i nvestment tax credits; preferential tax rates); 
and 
- tariff preferences. 
 
The main component of regionally financed support for industrial production (in 1998, 
18,662.23 million rubles were appropriated for su pport for industrial production in the regional 
budgets) was in the form of tax subsidies, tax ho lidays and exemptions from payments to budgets of  WT/ACC/SPEC/RUS/11

 different levels, which tota lled 16.039.26 million rubles, or 87.8% of the overall amoun2 Budgetary 
support for enterprises in the form of direct transfers from the regional budgets totalled 1,893.71 
million rubles, or 10.15%; tariff preferences were granted for value of 211.05 million rubles, which 
makes up 1.13%; budgetary loans and credits were issued in 1998 to the total of 222.03 million 
rubles, which makes 1.19%. 
- Assistance was mainly granted for the following purposes (see Table 9): 
- satisfaction of social needs – 6,295.80 million rubles, or 33.74%; 
- financial rehabilitation of enterprises – 4,767.56 million rubles, or 25.55%; 
- compensation of losses to enterprises – 2,665.10 million rubles, or 14.28%; 
- increase of efficiency of output – 15,969.92 million ru bles, or 8.56%; 
- fuel procurement –931.41 million rubles, or 4.99%. 
 
Other purposes, such as property, plant and e quipment development of enterprises, working 
capital injections, retooling of enterprises, comp etitive product manufacture, promotion of small 
businesses etc., received approximately 13% of the total subsidies. 
Regional subsidies were distributed among the various sectors of the national economy as 
follows: 
In 1998, the largest volume of subsidies was granted to mechanical engineering and metal 
processing: 6,887.97, or 36.91% (see Table 10). The second most subsidised sector was the fuel industry, which was allocated 1,888.81 million rubles , which makes up 10.12% of the total subsidies. 
The construction development sector a nd housing and public utilities sect or rank third and fourth with 
7.74% and 7.61% of the total subsidies respectiv ely. The above four branches of national economy 
received over 60% of the total subsidies to ente rprises in 1998. The assistance granted to other 
branches does not constitute any significant portion of  the total subsidies and ranges from 5.47% for 
food industry to 0.01% for microbiology.  
- For detailed information on support for industry out of the budgets of the Russian Federation 
regions in 1998 see the respective Addendum hereto (Forms 1 – 4). 
- In all of the above described cases the amount of  assistance (both the federal and the regional 
components) was calculated for the period of 1 year in which assistan ce was maintained, as 
the assistance was effectively provided in 1998. 
- The Russian Federation does not have any statis tical data on the trade impact of the above 
subsidies.
