“The law on the International ASEZ will come into force on January 1, 2026. The mechanism was created to attract investors from China, India, Southeast Asian countries, and the Middle East. Residents of the preferential regime will be provided with the most favorable conditions: all Far Eastern tax incentives and preferences, a free customs zone, infrastructure and administrative support in a one-stop shop, confidentiality, and other tools. The Amur Region, with its powerful resource and geographic potential, will be one of the first platforms to launch this mechanism, and our current work is aimed at developing practical steps for the successful launch of pilot projects," noted Vitaly Altabaev, Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic.
Participants in the strategic session discussed in detail the key features and differences of the new mechanism, and also examined the potential for implementing investment projects in the International ASEZ in the Amur Region.
