Aleksey Krupin, project finance specialist: "Implementation of such infrastructure programs usually depends on a combination of budget funds and private investments, while the actual launch of each object will depend on financing schedules and the readiness of the adjacent transport network."
Funding for these projects will be provided in stages through state and non-budgetary sources. Federal agencies are tasked with monitoring the execution of the program.
