Since 2017, the holding has been working with the securities market, becoming the first in Russia to issue bonds under a non-concession PPP project. In 2020, Russia's first social bonds were also issued as part of the social infrastructure project in Yakutia.

The group plans to raise up to 3 billion rubles in investments, including in public-private partnership (PPP) projects. Today, the holding is one of the leaders in the Russian PPP market, with a contract portfolio formed up to 2047. The main advantage of PPP projects is the guarantee of the return of investor funds from the state, enshrined in federal law.

PPP is the most common way in international practice to create key infrastructure facilities: bridges, roads, medical, educational and cultural centers. Over the past decade, the PPP mechanism has also become a real tool for infrastructure renewal in Russia. According to the National PPP Center, over 3,700 PPP projects are being implemented today, totaling 5.4 trillion rubles in investments. The PPP format helps mitigate the risks of unfinished construction, guarantees the quality of the created infrastructure and reduces the burden on the budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
