Gadzhimagomed Guseinov spoke about the sustainable development of the Far East and the Arctic
First Deputy Minister for Development of the Far East and Arctic of the Russian Federation Gadzhimagomed Guseinov took part in a press conference dedicated to the IX International Scientific and Practical Conference “Far East and Arctic: Sustainable Development”.
“The development of preferential regimes in the Far East started in 2014–2015, when federal laws were adopted - on priority development territories, on the free port of Vladivostok, and in 2020 the preferential regime of the Arctic zone was launched. In 2022, a unique preferential tax regime was created on the Kuril Islands. Thanks to this, in the Far East and the Arctic, with the use of government support measures, 3.6 thousand investment projects are being implemented with an investment volume of 9.5 trillion rubles and the creation of 310 thousand jobs. Of this, 4.1 trillion rubles have already been invested, almost 150 thousand jobs have been created, 923 projects have been implemented,” said Gadzhimagomed Guseinov.
One of the priority areas for the development of the Far East and the Arctic is the development of the Northern Sea Route. In 2023, the target for cargo traffic on the NSR was exceeded - 36.2 million tons were transported. The volume of transit through the Northern Sea Route also set a record – 2.1 million tons.
According to Guseinov, the urban environment is also developing - in 2021, President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin instructed the Government of the Russian Federation to develop 25 master plans for cities in the Far East. The same work, on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, is being carried out in the Arctic to develop 16 supporting agglomerations; the population in these settlements is 1.6 million people.
In addition, according to the first deputy minister, significant for the development of the Far East and the Arctic is the adoption of the law “On Northern Delivery,” which provides for the creation of a centralized management system and will increase the reliability of supplies of essential goods, reduce their delivery time and reduce the cost of such goods.
