MOSCOW, April 10 (Reuters) - The Russian government has
decided to extend payment holidays to larger mortgage loans in
a new measure to support its citizens from the coronavirus
fallout, the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Friday.
The government had previously said that people with
mortgages of up to 1.5 million roubles could claim for payment
holidays.
Mushustin on Friday approved an increase in the maximum loan
value to 4.5 million roubles for Moscow, to 3 million roubles
for St Petersburg and the far east of the country, and to 2
million roubles for the rest of the country.
