From EEF-2017 to EEF-2018: Main Decisions for Development of the Far East p. 3

Welcome to the Russian Far East!

Official Bulletin of the Ministry for Development of the Russian Far East. The document was prepared by the Far East Investment and Export Agency. Distributed by subscription. Reference to the source is required when using the materials. Dear participants and guests of the 4th Eastern Economic Forum The Russian Far East has huge economic po- tential. More than half of the timber resources of the entire Asia-Pacific region, more than a third of its freshwater supplies, 27% of its gas, and 17% of its oil are concentrated in the more than six million square kilometres of the Russian Far East. Our region has abundant gold deposits, and its seas are well stocked with fish. The longest rail- way lines in the world run across the Far East, and the shortest route by sea from Northeast Asia to Europe also passes through the region. Developing this fantastically valuable territory is a priority of the national policy which our Presi- dent, Vladimir Putin, is currently pursuing. My task is to offer you a detailed presentation of the com- petitive advantages of the Russian Far East. The first significant steps have already been taken. First, a new economic model for the develop- ment of the Far East has been enshrined in cur- rent legislation. More than 30 laws have been passed to create a competitive environment for pursuing investment projects in the region. Second, special economic zones have been cre- 18 nations have been permitted to enter our re- ated in the Far East where taxes are the lowest in gion on an electronic visa.

Aleksandr Kozlov: «Our task is to create maximally comfortable conditions for investors» The Minister of the Russian Federation on development of the Far East spoke about the main expectations from the Eastern Economic Forum 2018

— No doubt that it will be the plenary ses- sion EEF-2018 with the participation of President Vladimir Putin. Leaders from China, Japan and the Republic of Korea have been invited to the Forum. These countries are the leading economies of the Asia-Pacific Region. China, according to one esti- mate — GDP level, — is the second largest economy in the world and according to another — PPP — is the first. The Far East today is becoming the centre of collaboration between these states; the largest joint projects are being implemented here. — Which enterprises will be launched directly at the Forum? — That issue is currently being discussed; a range of Far-Eastern enterprises are in a state of high readiness for launch. It is important not only to cut the ribbon or press the start button; it is necessary for the production to actually start working, to start producing. As I have mentioned before, at the previous EEF five enterprises were launched. This year we are expecting around the same amount. — Will the feature of this EEF become a pres- entation of some new tools for supporting inves- tors?
