STATE-OWNED COMPANIES HAVE INCREASED PROCUREMENT FROM SMALL BUSINESSES IN MORDOVIA BY ALMOST A THIRD
The nationwide volume of procurement by the largest customers from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reached a record high of 8 trillion rubles by the end of 2023. Thanks to the national project “Small and Medium-Sized Entrepreneurship and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiative,” initiated by the President and supervised by the First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov, this indicator has significantly increased in our region as well. In comparison with 2022, the growth in Mordovia amounted to 32%, reaching nearly 12.5 billion rubles. It is worth noting that we exceed the nationwide indicator (13.5%) by more than twice in this regard, and the number of SME suppliers has already exceeded 740.
The largest volumes of procurement were for products from manufacturing industries, construction and building works, related to scientific, engineering, and professional services activities.
