“In 2022, the business faced an unprecedented force majeure event. However, what is most encouraging is that no one pressed the “stop” button. A simple example. We have the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation. It has 3200 clients, we call them residents. These companies have entered into agreements that they invest and build facilities totaling more than 7 trillion rubles. So, no one said: we are shut down the project. They changed supply chains, invented something, found new ways, new partners, changed something Western for Eastern, somewhere they resorted to parallel imports, but no one stumbled. And this point to the stability, the fortitude of investors, entrepreneurs in the Far East and the Arctic. What can I say, the Far Eastern northern character is probably a synonym for strength and firmness. That is what we are holding on to.
