On the eve of Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) published the list of top 5 most attractive Siberian regions from the point of view of investment opportunities: Tomsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Kemerovo Region, the Republic of Khakassia, the Republic of Tyva.
The list of TOP-5 Siberian regions is an interim result of the work performed by ASI on implementation of regional Investment Standard in Siberian Federal District. The experts assessed the number of Standard items implemented in each region.
The leading regions such as Krasnoyarsk Krai implemented all 15 items of the Standard. In particular, Investment Strategy and Investment Declaration, which set up basic operating principles for regional regulatory bodies with entities involved in investment and entrepreneurial activities were adopted. 13 items were implemented in Tomsk Region.
The principle of “single point of contact” was used in investment project administration. This simplified the investment project administration procedure.
Specialized Internet-portals started to operate in the regions so that investors could vividly see investment opportunities.
Investment Climate Improvement Councils also started to operate in these regions under the auspices of the Governors. Apart from representatives of regional authorities, members of Legislative Assembly, representatives of regional bodies of federal authorities, local self-administration, entrepreneur associations, large enterprises, and experts participating in the region’s investment processes participate in the Council.
Discussions about investment climate improvement highlights and lowlights are scheduled for special Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum “round-table conferences” to be held February 27 through March 1.
