North Caucasus: Chechnya leads the SFD in housing commissioning.

In 2022, the most significant introduction of housing in the CSFR increased in Chechnya - twice. Over 2 million square meters were built in the republic. However, almost all volumes fall on individual houses. Mostly they are built by the residents themselves, not companies. 
The rate of occupancy increased by 30 per cent in HRC, 20.5 per cent in Ingushetia and 10.9 per cent in Stavropol Krai. In general, in January-December 2022, 5.9 million square meters were introduced in the North Caucasus Federal District. This is 26.5% more by 2021, according to statistics.
