The
Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic will present
plans for the development of the region until 2035 at the 5th
Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held in Vladivostok on 4–6 September. Ministry
Head Alexander Kozlov has decided to create a single exhibit for the Ministry
and all of the Far East’s development institutions as part of the EEF
exhibition.
“The results of the new
economic policy as well as plans and a vision for the further development of
the Far East for 2025–2035 will be presented at the Forum. More than a dozen
services for investors will be put on display for visitors at a single platform
along with a presentation area for the different economic sectors of the
regions of the Far East with an assessment of their investment potential”, – Deputy Minister for
the Development of the Russian Far East and the Arctic Alexander Krutikov said.
Fifteen
basic investor services provided by the development institutions of the Far
East will be presented to Forum participants. These include: the selection of
optimal measures of state support, the acquisition of a plot of water for the
purpose of ocean farming, affordable credit for small and medium-sized
businesses, and the acquisition of an electronic visa for the Far East among
others.
Some
of the new initiatives that will also be presented include a 2% Far Eastern
mortgage, a digital forest resource service, and the cataloguing of
agricultural land in the Far Eastern Federal District.
“We traditionally
organize a presentation zone for the regions of the Far Eastern Federal
District and our partners for speeches by regional heads along with a separate
zone for signing agreements. We have considered requests from the regions
following the last EEF and have made it larger and more convenient. The
presentation zone programme includes speeches by representatives of development
institutions of the Far East and regional heads”, – Deputy Director
General of the Far East Investment and Export Agency Svetlana Balova said.
For
the first time, the exhibition will run its own television studio, ‘Far East live’, which will run
stories related to economic development in the Far East, single subsidy social
initiatives and projects, and interviews with EEF participants, including
investors and representatives of the federal and regional authorities.
The
exhibition will introduce people to investment success stories, platforms for
project implementation, and the overall potential of key sectors of the Far
East.
Eight
federal executive bodies will be represented at the EEF 2019 exhibition: the
Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Transport, Rospotrebnadzor, the
Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of
Health, the Federal Agency for Fishery, Rostourism, the Kemerovo Region, and
the Prosecutor General of Russia.
