MOSCOW. Aug 22 (Interfax) - Up to 10% of a targeted investment program will be allocated for developing new territories in Moscow in 2013, Moscow Deputy Mayor Marat Khusnullin told reporters on Wednesday.

Around 300 billion rubles will be allocated for construction in 2013 under the targeted investment program, according to the information released earlier.

"We are planning to spend up to 10% of the targeted investment program for the development of new territories next year. These are the funds raised from auctions," Khusnullin said.
