The best investment projects in Siberia by the end of 2023 have been named

Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko held a meeting with the heads of Siberian regions on the implementation of major investment projects in the Siberian Federal District.

In 2021, on behalf of the Chairman of the Government Mikhail Mishustin, a mechanism for supervision of federal districts was introduced to ensure monitoring of the dynamics of socio-economic development of the regions.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 41 projects have been selected on the territory of the Siberian Federal District. Both the specific contribution of projects and the overall dynamics of the development of regional economies are assessed. According to Victoria Abramchenko, the economic development of a particular region is assessed by four key indicators: the growth of private investment, household income, output of goods and services, as well as the increase in the number of jobs.

“Preliminary implementation results indicate good dynamics. Compared to the base year 2020, the growth of private investment in the district was 132.4%, and the growth in personal income was 109.8%. The number of jobs in the Siberian Federal District increased by more than 600 thousand, reaching 7.6 million. By January 1, 2024, thanks to the implementation of projects in Siberia, 942.2 billion rubles of private investment were attracted, almost 17 thousand new jobs were created,” noted Victoria Abramchenko.
