"Two priority development areas have been established in the region, and 114 investment projects totaling over 1 trillion rubles are being implemented with state support. Transbaikalye ranks among the middle-income regions in the Far East for attracting investment, but given the initial circumstances, I consider this a good result. The industrial production index of the Zabaikalsky Region increased by 4.6% by the end of 2025. This is a strong growth rate. Consolidated budget revenues in 2025 increased by 17.7%, while internal revenues increased by 32.6%. "Basically, starting from a challenging economic position, Zabaikalsky Region is demonstrating strong growth," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.
According to Alexander Osipov, Governor of the Zabaikalsky Region, the region's core investment portfolio comprises 172 projects worth 3.5 trillion rubles. The main sectors attracting investment are mining, energy, housing, transportation and construction, industrial production, tourism, and agriculture.
"From 2019 to 2025, the Zabaikalsky region's economy tripled. We expect the projects we plan to implement to triple their size in the coming years. The “Transbaikalye” ASEZ is one of the key investment drivers. 450 billion rubles of the planned 1 trillion rubles in signed investments have already been invested, creating 16,000 jobs. In 2025, 30 new investment agreements worth 75 billion rubles were signed, creating 4,500 jobs, and 11 projects, creating 1,500 jobs, were launched," the regional governor reported.
