Legal entities and individuals can now place their rental or purchase sites on the investment map of Russia.This was announced by Murat Kerefof, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, at the session "Development of Southern Russia: Investments in Quality." This session took place as part of the Caucasian Investment Forum."Today, the map has introduced the opportunity for private individuals to place investment sites. These can be premises for small businesses or land plots for construction and agriculture. Regional administrations will begin to review applications within a couple of weeks, and by August, they will be available for rent or purchase," Murat Kerefof reported.The investment map of the Russian Federation was launched at the end of February this year. During this time, over 16,000 investment sites have been placed on it. In just the last month, 130 sites have been realized here. Half were sold for 1.6 billion rubles, while the other half were rented out, generating a monthly income for regional and local budgets of 14 million rubles.The map allows for a qualitative assessment of the business environment of future projects: markets for goods, preferential regimes, availability of natural resources, and infrastructure - from road surfaces to mobile communications. If necessary connections are absent, the conditions for technical connections are indicated on the plot cards. It provides the opportunity to select sites in different regions and compare them, as well as obtain information about key macroeconomic indicators of Russian entities that may affect the implementation of the project. All this allows for assessing project costs and selecting government support measures.Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development developed a portal for supporting investment projects. In total, there are 30 measures on the website – including assistance with financing, preferential regimes, and tax and tariff benefits.
