Financial support for the region is on the horizon. Financiers have plans to provide a bond loan of 27 billion rubles by 2027, aiming to bolster the budget of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
The race for the mayor's seat is heating up. The list of candidates includes two officials and two unemployed individuals. The governor made the proposal for the mayor at the elections. Notably, two temporarily unemployed candidates have also thrown their hats into the ring.

A corruption case involving the former head of Tazovsky District, Alexander Ivanov, has concluded.

The region is also preparing for a new draft law. 'On Holidays and Memorial Dates in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug' is in the works, currently featuring 29 dates and events.
