The other day, on the official website of the head of Mari El Alexander Evstifeev, a message appeared about the meeting in the government, which examines the results of the socio-economic development of the republic in 2020. It is strange that the government is usually held on this subject.

The talkative press service this time was surprisingly concise-neither you quotes the head of "outstanding merits", nor victorious relations about "rampant growth".

All the results of the life of the republic over the past year fit in 22 lines. Of the positive, it was possible to name only 4% growth in agriculture (with official inflation in Russia almost 5%), as well as growth in industrial construction and investments.

Meanwhile, there are other results, which, apparently, according to the press service, the population is not supposed to know. So,

- the industrial production index according to the results of 2020 amounted to 93.6%;

- putting into the total area of ​​residential premises (excluding houses in areas for gardening) decreased by 7.1%;

- transportation of passengers made by buses on public routes decreased by 28.1%, passenger turnover - by 16.7%;

- retail turnover decreased by 3.1%;

- The turnover of catering decreased by 26.3%;

- the volume of paid services to the population decreased by 11.5%;

-export of goods in January-November 2020 decreased 2.2 times;

-the import of goods in January-November 2020 decreased by 2.5%;

- for the period from the beginning of 2020. The rate of price growth in the consumer market of the republic is higher by 2.6 percentage points [that is, prices did not only rise, and their growth rate increased];

-the share of unprofitable organizations in January-November 2020 increased by 1.4 percentage points and amounted to 33.2% in the total number of organizations not related to small businesses [that is, every third large and middle enterprise in the republic is now unprofitable];

- the number of officially registered unemployed citizens at the end of December 2020 increased 3.6 times (!);

-the number of born in January-November 2020 decreased by 0.4% (!);

-The number of dead in January-November 2020 increased by 15.2% (!);

-The number of registered marriages in January-November 2020 decreased by 24.2% (!). Source: maristat.gks.ru.

As they say, feasted - had fun, calculated - wept.

Pay attention to the growth of the number of dead. In my opinion, this is just the main indicator of the regional government in 2020.
