Mishustin's regional review Far East and Arctic projects

Jun 24

Anna Kurbatova reports Mikhail Mishustin's meeting with Far East and Arctic Development Corporation head Nikolay Zapryagayev. He reports over four thousand projects with fifteen trillion rubles in investor commitments; the reporter says almost half of that money is already at work. The package describes the Pacific Railway, Amur hydrometallurgical technology for double-refractory ore, Udokan copper and Nakhodka methanol projects. It says SIBUR's Amur Gas Chemical Complex received first feedstock from Gazprom's processing plant that day, forming an integrated production chain. Mishustin discusses incentives in priority-development territories, the Kurils, Vladivostok free port and the Arctic, while Zapryagayev describes Kuril investment growth. The report reviews new Far East airport terminals, routes bypassing Moscow and seven million tourists in the previous year, followed by a call to keep attracting investment. It describes ski-resort expansion and the expected Blagoveshchensk–Heihe cable car. Commitments and planned openings remain distinct from reported operating facilities.

At his June 24 meeting with Mishustin, ERDC director Nikolay Zapryagayev reports just over 4,000 supported projects with 15 trillion rubles pledged, 6.8 trillion already invested and nearly 1,400 implemented. He says ERDC supports projects through incentives, land and infrastructure but does not itself finance them. He reports 62,000 hectares allocated, about 300 MW connected and another 500 MW in progress, operating industrial parks, a planned 2026 Kadalinsky park and infrastructure begun at Zapadnaya and Rovnoye in 2025. He gives 674 new projects and a record one trillion rubles of Far East investment in 2025, and attributes 137 billion rubles in 2025 resident taxes and 550 billion over ten years to Federal Tax Service data. Mishustin describes existing territorial incentives, says an international advanced-development-territory regime has launched, and closes by calling for continued investment attraction. Vremya's same-day report repeats the project and pledge totals and describes almost half the money as already working. These are officials' reported results and assessments, not independently audited totals or a newly dated enactment of every cited incentive.
