Over the past ten years, the state's accelerated development policy in the Far East has achieved significant results. Investment in fixed capital has doubled, compared to the Russian average of 1.4 times. Construction volume has increased by 2.2 times, housing construction by 1.5 times, and mineral extraction by 1.4 times.
"In terms of key economic development indicators, the Far East has outperformed the Russian average over the past decade. However, accumulated infrastructure gaps and objective natural conditions continue to impact the quality of life in the Far East. Therefore, all our work and the new strategic document are aimed at overcoming these limitations and challenges. The key objectives of the new stage are the formation of the economy of the future with a radical improvement in the living environment, the training of in-demand personnel, and the implementation of high-tech projects," noted Alexey Chekunkov.
The goal of the Strategy to 2036 is to create a high-tech, diversified economy and develop modern infrastructure, creating conditions for sustainable population growth and ensuring the Far Eastern Federal District's key role in cooperation with Asia-Pacific countries. The strategy is structured around five objectives: overcoming infrastructure constraints, launching a new investment and technology cycle, developing science and technology, creating better conditions for residents, and climate adaptation.
