Legal entities and individuals can now place their sites for rent or purchase on the investment map of Russia.

This was announced by Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Murat Kerefov at the session "Development of the South of Russia: Investments in Quality". It took place within the framework of the Caucasus Investment Forum.

"Today, the map now has the opportunity to place investment sites by individuals. These can be both premises for small businesses and land plots for development and agriculture. Within a couple of weeks, regional administrations will begin to consider applications, and in August they can be rented or bought," Murat Kerefov said.

The investment map of the Russian Federation was launched at the end of February this year. During this time, more than 16 thousand investment sites have been placed on it. And in the last month alone, 130 sites have been implemented here. Half was sold for 1.6 billion rubles, and the other half was leased with a monthly income to the budgets of regions and local budgets for 14 million rubles.

On the map, you can qualitatively assess the business environment of the future project: sales markets, preferential regimes, the availability of minerals and infrastructure - from the road surface to cellular communications. If the necessary connections are not available, the connection conditions are indicated on the site cards. Here you can select sites in different regions and compare them, as well as get information about the key macroeconomic indicators of the constituent entities of Russia that may affect the implementation of the project. All this makes it possible to assess the costs of the project and select state support measures.

Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development developed a portal of measures to support investment projects. In total, there are 30 of them on the site - this is assistance in lending, preferential regimes, tax and tariff benefits.
