Russian Federation increases financial contribution to ITU -
Support to enhance the role of ITU in global ICT development

Geneva, 14 October 2011 - The Russian Federation announced a significant increase in its financial support to ITU, raising its 'contributory units' from ten to fifteen, amounting to CHF 4,777,000, or about USD 5.32 million at current exchange rates. Each 'contributory unit', which ITU Member States provide on a voluntary basis, is CHF 318,000.

This increase is in addition to the CHF 5 million contribution from the Russian Federation towards the refurbishment of ITU's main conference hall, now dedicated to Alexander Stepanovich Popov (1859-1906), the Russian physicist who first demonstrated the practical application of electromagnetic waves.
