The head of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, Alexey Chekunkov, held meetings with local residents during a working visit to Primorsky Region.

A number of questions related to the legislative framework currently being developed for a new unified preferential regime for the entire Far East and the Arctic. According to Alexey Chekunkov, the document's concept is currently being discussed. When determining the scope of preferences and benefits, it is proposed to consider the social aspects of projects, specifically the company's willingness to hire local employees, set salaries above the regional or industry average, and other factors. Furthermore, it is planned to adjust the availability and level of benefits within the unified preference regime depending on the business's profitability. This approach, according to the minister, will help balance the interests of entrepreneurs and the state.
