At the forum "Bolshoy Ussuriysky: cooperation in joint development of the island", Deputy Director General of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC) for investment attraction Kirill Kamenev took part in a meeting of the section "Business Dialogue "Russia-China". He presented the mechanisms of state support for attracting foreign investors, including Chinese ones. He also spoke about the implementation of projects involving foreign capital within the framework of the preferential regimes of the priority development areas and the Free Port of Vladivostok.
In the Far East, 65 projects with Chinese capital are being implemented within the framework of preferential regimes. China is Russia's main economic partner in the Far East. Residents of the priority development areas and the Free Port of Vladivostok invest 1 trillion rubles, which is 84% of the total volume of foreign investments in the FEDC portfolio. 700 billion rubles have been invested, and about 7 thousand jobs have been created. Among the projects being implemented are a gas chemical cluster in the Amur Region, an international educational center, and the production of building materials in Primorsky Region.
As Kirill Kamenev noted: "The interest of investors in implementing investment projects in the Russian Far East is primarily due to the unique conditions created by the Government of the Russian Federation. These are preferential regimes such as ASEZ, FPV, AZRF and KORF. Last year alone, 14 companies from China became residents of preferential regimes, planning to implement projects for a total of 14.5 billion rubles in such industries as development, production of construction materials, mechanical engineering, agriculture, food production, coal mining, and logistics."
