The bulk of the investments—more than 60%—went into mining, totalling roughly 850 billion rubles. Metallurgical production followed, accounting for about 11% of the spending. Meanwhile, power, gas, and utility infrastructure received 7% of the funds, while transportation and storage projects attracted just over 6%.
