Victoria Abramchenko named the best investment projects in Siberia by the end of 2023

In 2021, on behalf of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, a mechanism for the supervision of federal districts was introduced to ensure monitoring of the dynamics of socio-economic development of the regions.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 41 projects have been selected in the Siberian Federal District. It evaluates both the specific contribution of the projects and the overall dynamics of the regional economies. According to Victoria Abramchenko, the economic development of a particular region is assessed by four key indicators: the growth of private investment, household income, output of goods and services, as well as an increase in the number of jobs.

"The preliminary results of the implementation indicate good dynamics. Compared to the base year 2020, the growth of private investment in the district amounted to 132.4%, and the growth of household incomes was 109.8%. Number of jobs in The Siberian Federal District grew by more than 600 thousand, reaching 7.6 million By January 1, 2024, due to the implementation of projects in Siberia, 942.2 billion rubles of private investment were attracted, and almost 17 thousand new jobs were created," said Victoria Abramchenko.
