The Ministry of agriculture of Russia has sent the draft of the decree providing for the increase of the authorized capital of Rosselkhozbank 10 billion rubles, according to the materials of the Ministry presented to the meeting of the state Duma Committee on agrarian issues, reports RIA Novosti.

This amount can be allocated in the framework of the program of anti-crisis measures of the government, according to which the support of the sector is planned to allocate an additional 54 billion.

About the possibility of increasing the capital of Rosselkhozbank in late December, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. At that time he noted that the budget has no funds for it and assumed that the increase of capital can be done either through the mechanism of OFZ, or even at the expense of funds of the NWF.
