South Korea, Japan, the USA and Canada are among the most likely partners of Russia in the further development of the regions of Siberia and the Far East. Special attention is paid to this project, since in the future the demand for raw materials will mainly come from Southeast Asia, and the main raw material reserves of Russia are concentrated in Siberia and the Far East.
Experts believe that the most effective way to attract investment will be the creation of special economic zones, which enable investors to form new production facilities, including export-oriented ones, working on special preferential terms. Public-private partnership is welcomed by experts as the most effective business format for the development of these territories.
However, the current relationship between Moscow and Kiev, according to various experts, may hinder the further development of Russia's eastern regions. This applies mainly to the United States, which threaten to sever economic relations. The potential plans of American investors are not so ambitious as to have a strong impact on the implementation of the plans of the Russian government. At the same time, investors from the USA and Canada have vast experience in the development of territories in similar economic conditions.
The share of American and European investments in projects in the Far East is likely to be only a few percent. The bulk of the investment will come from China and Japan, with which an agreement has yet to be reached on the Kuril Islands. China, on the other hand, made it clear that it adheres to a neutral position in relation to the Russian-Ukrainian situation and does not intend to give up such attractive prospects.
