In the Omsk region, the volume of investments in fixed assets has reached a record level over the past few years.

For the first time since 2013, the Omsk region recorded an increase in investments in fixed assets.

According to Rosstat, in 2017, the volume of capital investments in the region in comparable prices increased by 104.6% and approached 100 billion rubles.  It should be recalled that in the period from 2013 to 2016, investment volumes decreased annually by 7-12% in comparable prices.

"In the structure of the investment volume, 76.4% are the enterprises' own funds, and 23.6% are attracted. A significant contribution to the formation of positive dynamics of capital investments was provided by manufacturing industries, which are traditionally the locomotive of the regional economy: investments in this industry increased by 45.5% compared to 2016, their share amounted to 55% of the funds invested by large and medium−sized enterprises," the regional Ministry of Economy reports.

According to Rosstat, the percentage of investments in comparable prices in 2017 in the Siberian Federal District is 100.3%, and in Russia as a whole 104.4%.

"The Omsk region has shown a good result. The regional government is systematically working to promote the development of investment activity," says Rasim Galyamov, Minister of Economy of the Omsk Region. Last year, small and medium-sized businesses in the Omsk region attracted more than 796 million rubles of borrowed funds with guarantees and guarantees from the SME Corporation under the 6.5 Program, and the Russian Industry Development Fund supported projects of Omsk companies with concessional loans worth half a billion rubles.

In order to consolidate the positive dynamics and to continue creating conditions for business development in the region, existing support measures have been maintained and new ones are being introduced. Last week, the Legislative Assembly of the Omsk region adopted a draft law on property tax, providing for business preferences. The head of the region, Alexander Burkov, initiated its development in order to create favorable conditions for investment and entrepreneurial activity.

In addition, more than 250 million rubles from the regional budget will be allocated to support small and medium-sized businesses. By the decision of Alexander Burkov, Acting Governor of the Omsk Region, a regional industrial development fund is being created on the basis of a micro-credit company, which will implement a loan program for projects worth from 40 million rubles with loans from 20 million rubles at 5% per annum. In the rating of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Omsk Region is among the TOP 30 regions where the entire basic business support infrastructure has been created.
