OREANDA-NEWS. The IT sector around the world is extremely mobile in terms of personnel, in this area the “turnover” of personnel is a constant. This was stated at a briefing with journalists by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the information about the outflow of IT specialists from Russia.

“The IT sector around the world is extremely mobile in terms of personnel. The word "remote work" was firmly established in their lives even before the pandemic. Measures have been taken to support the IT sector, which will begin to operate in the near future. In this sector, staff turnover is a constant. It may be stronger or weaker, but now measures have been taken to support [the industry], which, we hope, will yield results,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

On March 2, President Vladimir Putin's decree "On measures to ensure the accelerated development of the information technology industry in the Russian Federation" provides for a number of benefits and state support measures for the IT industry. According to the document, the government will be given the right to announce a moratorium on scheduled inspections of small and medium businesses this year. At the same time, scheduled inspections in relation to organizations that have state accreditation and work in the field of IT technologies will not be carried out until December 31, 2024. Such measures are designed to protect the national interests of the country from the actions of unfriendly foreign countries.
