Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced at a briefing that the poverty rate in the country had decreased to 7.1% in 2025, lifting approximately 90,000 citizens out of poverty. He attributed this progress to improved economic indicators.

In 2025, Ingushetia remained the only region that failed to achieve a reduction in unemployment. This information was announced by the office of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

According to data provided by RIA Novosti, the regions of the North Caucasus, particularly Ingushetia, Chechnya, and Dagestan, are among the worst performers in terms of wage growth in the Russian Federation. Income growth in these republics is significantly lower than national averages.

Yuri Chaika, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus Federal District, stated that a significant portion of the utility infrastructure in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District is in critical condition. According to him, more than a third of the networks require complete replacement.

According to RIA Rating, six of the seven regions in the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) have the highest share of overdue household debt to banks in Russia. Leading the list are Ingushetia (with a 25.5% share of overdue debt), Chechnya (14.6%), and Dagestan (14.4%).

In 2026, the Bank of Russia will mark the 75th birthday of former head of the Chechen Republic Akhmat-Khadji Kadyrov by issuing a commemorative silver coin. The two-ruble coin, weighing half a troy ounce, will be added to the "Outstanding Personalities of Russia" series.

Five republics of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) rank last in the national rankings for provincial salaries.

The impact of flooding and waterlogging in Dagestan and Chechnya is preliminarily estimated at over 1 billion rubles. Speaking at a meeting in Dagestan, Yuri Chaika, the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District, demanded that the republic's authorities promptly prepare and submit to the government commission documents substantiating the material damage.

Construction of houses for people left homeless by the natural disaster that struck the republic in late March has already begun in Chechnya. Work is underway in the village of Novy Benoy in the Gudermes District, where individual houses are already being erected, while foundations are being poured in other areas, and necessary utilities are being installed.

Over 43,000 residents of Dagestan affected by the floods have submitted applications for payments. However, approximately half of these applications (24,000) will not be processed because the applicants did not provide an address. This prevents the payment of 15,675 rubles from being awarded to each affected person.
