On March 28, 2023, a meeting of the working group was held at the site of the regional Congress Hall to discuss the possibility of using a new mechanism of state support - the conclusion of an agreement on the promotion and protection of investments (hereinafter NWPC).
The meeting was attended by specialists from the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency, representatives of the regional Ministry of Economy and the management staff of Omskelectro.
The NWPC is an agreement on the protection and promotion of investments, a type of government support for large investors. The NWPC mechanism involves reimbursement of infrastructure costs and stabilization of business conditions for investors. It should be noted that there is still no precedent for its use in the Omsk region.
During the meeting, investment specialists spoke about the basic principles and procedure for concluding the NWPC, reviewed the proposals of Omskelectro representatives on the facilities they plan to build and reconstruct upon receipt of this state support measure.
Following the meeting, the parties agreed to continue working together in order to develop a unified position before the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation on the possibility of implementing the investment project of Omskelectro JSC using the NWPC mechanism.
Earlier, Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, noted: "The Law on the NWPC was adopted as part of a package of anti-crisis laws, but it is a systematic measure designed for decades to come, which will strengthen the position of the Russian economy in the competition for attracting investments."
