Putin hails Russia’s record-high agriculture production this year and says the country needs to capitalize on this achievement by wining new foreign markets and developing food industry.
10:01 GMT
Putin described his view on the sources of economic growth in the years to come, including strategic state-assisted investments, small businesses and the export of goods with high added value.
10:00 GMT
Putin outlined Russia’s macroeconomic situation, including its record-low level of inflation. He said this new reality gives businesses the certainty of long-term stability and allows them to invest into projects that take many years to realize. The people reap their own benefits, he added, in the form of cheaper bank loans.
09:57 GMT
The economic growth in Russia should be above the global average, Putin said. This is not wishful thinking; this is a goal that the government must work towards.
09:55 GMT
Russia needs to reform the rules for giving citizenship to talented and skilled people willing and able to help the country by living their lives here, Putin said.
09:53 GMT
Russia is developing several scientific centers that would have state-of-the-art instruments for fundamental research, Putin said. The government needs to provide a legislative foundation and support programs to help attract world-leading scientists, who would put those facilities to good use.
09:50 GMT
Russia has an opportunity to deploy next-generation 5G mobile networks soon, Putin said.
09:48 GMT
Putin talked at length about Russia’s education system and ways to improve it. Teaching children the skills they will need when joining the workforce is essential to Russia’s future success, he explained.
09:44 GMT
The president outlined measures to address some of the environmental issues faced by Russia, such as improving people’s access to clean water and reducing pollution in cities.
09:41 GMT
Putin talked about the reform of the national healthcare system, the accessibility of medical care in rural parts of Russia and ways to improve preventive healthcare in the country.
09:36 GMT
Russia must become one of the world’s main hubs for storing and processing big data, Putin said. He also promised heavy investment in Russia’s energy grid, internet infrastructure and satellite communications.
09:35 GMT
Icebreakers are a key component of this Arctic ambition, he added. The Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet was, is and will be the strongest in the world, Putin promised.
09:32 GMT
By 2024 the traffic through the North Maritime Route past Russia will increase tenfold, Putin predicted. Russia has to support this growth by improving its Arctic infrastructure.
09:31 GMT
Upgrading major transport lines will allow Russia to become a more important transit route for goods going between Europe and Asia, Putin said. Russia is lagging behind on this task while China is ready to boost its trade through Russia.
09:28 GMT
Putin highlighted the construction of a bridge, expected to become operational this year, connecting mainland Russia with the Crimean Peninsula. He said investing in safer and more convenient roads is an important task for the government.
09:25 GMT
Putin outlines a roadmap to facilitating the efforts of Russians to improve their living standards. This will be done through a combination of greater prosperity, cheaper bank loans and housing development projects.
09:21 GMT
Russia needs a massive program of urban development based on modern approaches and technology in architecture, transport and communication, Putin said. Developing cities and towns will bootstrap the development of rural Russia, he believes.
09:18 GMT
Putin said Russia’s goal is to boost life expectancy in the country to over 80 years.
09:12 GMT
The president went on to cite figures on the situation in Russia, describing poverty, labor structure, demographics and other key factors. The screen behind Putin showed graphs to illustrate his words.
09:09 GMT
Russia must conduct hard but necessary reforms and create a creative and free environment for its people. Otherwise its future will be lost, Putin said.
09:08 GMT
Nations need to either ride the wave of technological advancement or be drowned by it, Putin stressed. Failing in this regard will result in economic stagnation, loss of security, brain drain and other factors that may ultimately undermine a nation’s sovereignty.
09:06 GMT
Preserving the people of Russia and helping them prosper and realize their potential is the priority for the government and a necessity to ensure rapid development in the coming years, which will be marked by a technological breakthrough, Putin said.
09:04 GMT
Putin’s speech started with a compliment to Russia’s success in preserving stability and unity and overcoming challenges the country has faced lately.
09:04 GMT
Usually a presidential address focuses on domestic issues like economic growth, national security or important reforms. But Russia’s place in global affairs is also given a place in the speech.
09:03 GMT
Despite its name, the audience of the address is not limited to Russian legislators. Members of the cabinet, senior justices and important public figures are invited to listen to the speech as well. In fact, there are so many people invited this year that the event has been moved from its traditional Georgievsky reception hall in the Grand Palace of the Kremlin to the bigger building of Moscow's Manege. The new venue also has better multimedia capabilities, according to the president’s office.
08:51 GMT
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin is addressing the Federal Assembly – a joint session of the two chambers of the Russian Parliament. The annual event is Russia’s version of the state of the union address in the US, a report by the head of the nation on how well the government performed in a year and what challenges it will face in the future.
