Omsk Ministry of Economy accepts proposals and comments on the draft Strategy for the socio-economic development of the region until 2030

The Ministry informs about the public discussion of the draft document. Comments and suggestions are accepted in electronic and paper form.

"The need to update the document has been long overdue, and the conditions of recent years have become catalysts for changes that require new approaches. The draft Strategy was prepared taking into account legislative requirements, but at the same time, Omsk residents and the expert community were already involved in the work on the document at the formation stage.  In November, we held focus groups with representatives of key sectors of the economy and the social sphere. The prepared document contains the provisions that were formed at this strategic session. Omsk residents and anyone who wants to participate in the formation of a strategic document for the long–term development of the region can send their proposals," explained the Minister of Economy of the region.Anna Negoduiko.

The draft Strategy consists of four blocks defining the key development goals of the Omsk region until 2030. These are comfortable living conditions and human potential development, a competitive economy, spatial development and an effective system of state and municipal administration. The strategy is presented in two scenarios – conservative and targeted. The conservative scenario assumes the development of traditional sectors of the economy, a moderate growth rate of investments at the expense of existing enterprises and investors, the continued limitations of transport and logistics infrastructure and demographic trends. The target scenario, on the contrary, is designed for the intensive development of the region through the implementation of all the activities of the Strategy.

The document is posted on the official website of the regional Ministry of Economy at the link. Proposals for the draft Strategy are accepted until January 31 of this year.
