PSB will expand the program of support for emergency-affected residents of Russian regions

PSB Bank and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia have signed an agreement to expand support measures for residents of Russian regions affected by emergency situations. The relevant document was signed by the chairman of the PSB, Peter Fradkov, and the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kurenkov.

Under the agreement, the PSB will provide unsecured consumer loans on preferential terms to residents of the affected regions and their family members to restore lost property. The maximum loan amount is 300 thousand rubles, you can apply for it within three months from the moment of deterioration of living conditions and loss of property as a result of an emergency.

According to Peter Fradkov, the PSB implements "a number of targeted programs aimed at financial protection and improving the well-being of residents of Russian regions." In an emergency situation, "the speed and availability of support become a matter of social responsibility: it is important not only to quickly restore infrastructure and improve the work of public utilities, but also to provide the necessary assistance and support to every resident in a difficult life situation as soon as possible," he said.

In turn, Alexander Kurenkov pointed out that the creation of concessional lending programs for victims is one of the sections of the comprehensive system of social guarantees implemented by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. According to him, work is underway to improve support mechanisms in several areas. First of all, it is the provision of financial support in electronic form — this approach will simplify the procedure and shorten the time to receive assistance. In addition, "the number of partners with whom the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations is working in this area is increasing," Kurenkov added.
