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.

Preliminary results of the flooding that occurred in late March 2026 have been released in Chechnya. According to current data, the disaster affected over 3,000 homes, over 100 of which were completely destroyed.

In 2025, the Leningrad Region, Tyumen Region, and Altai Region were the leading regions in terms of housing construction per capita. The Chechen Republic ranked fourth in the national ranking.

According to the results of the fourth quarter of 2025, the North Caucasus regions ranked last in Russia's unemployment rankings, according to a RIA Novosti study. Ingushetia had the worst rate: 25.5% of the economically active population was unemployed, and the job search period lasted 5.8 months.

As of January 1, 2026, Lada cars are the leading brand in the North Caucasus region's vehicle fleet. They account for a remarkable 50.7%, equivalent to 1.3 million vehicles.

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
