Original Russian-language document (scanned). Decree No. 1180 of the Administration of the City District of Mariupol, Donetsk People's Republic, dated 19 June 2026, signed by the Head of Administration, A. V. Koltsov. It approves the departmental programme "Development and Support of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Municipal Formation City District of Mariupol". Legal basis cited includes Federal Law No. 172-FZ of 28.06.2014 (strategic planning), Federal Law No. 209-FZ of 24.07.2007 (SME development), and DPR Laws Nos. 431-IINS and 432-IINS of 27.01.2023.

The decree documents the occupation administration's economic-integration agenda for Mariupol. The 2026–2028 SME-support programme reports 10,744 small and medium enterprises and self-employed persons as of 1 January 2026 — a 21% rise on 2024, attributed in part to the "free economic zone" regime — and targets growth to 8,865 registered SMEs by 2028 through a municipal legal base for preferential property leasing, an SME information/consultation system, and popularisation of entrepreneurship. It ties Mariupol's small-business sector into the Russian federal SME-support and free-economic-zone framework. AI-assisted translation of a scanned document, key provisions only.

General characteristics (extract)

As of 1 January 2026, 10,744 SMEs and self-employed persons operate in the district — 21% higher than in 2024, a rise attributed in part to the operation of the "free economic zone" regime. The programme identifies systemic problems: the absence of an approved municipal legal base regulating the preferential lease of municipal property; insufficient awareness among entrepreneurs of available (federal, regional and municipal) support measures; and the absence of a feedback system for prompt business consultation. Implementation is expected to raise the number of SMEs to 8,865 by 2028.
