Legal entities and individuals can now list their properties for rent or sale on Russia's investment map.
This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Murat Kerefov, during the session "Development of Southern Russia: Investments in Quality". The session was held as part of the Caucasus Investment Forum.
“Today, there is an opportunity on the map for private individuals to list investment sites. These can include premises for small businesses, as well as plots of land for construction and agricultural activities. Within a couple of weeks, regional administrations will start reviewing applications, and by August, these sites will be available for rent or purchase,” said Murat Kerefov.
The RF investment map was launched at the end of February this year. During this time, more than 16,000 investment sites have been listed. Just in the past month, 130 sites have been implemented. Half were sold for 1.6 billion rubles, while the other half were leased, generating a monthly income of 14 million rubles for regional and local budgets.
On the map, users can effectively evaluate the business environment for a future project: target markets, preferential regimes, the presence of mineral resources and infrastructure—from road surfaces to mobile connectivity. If necessary connections are missing, the site cards indicate the conditions for technical hookup. The map allows selecting sites in different regions and comparing them, as well as obtaining information on key macroeconomic indicators of Russian regions that may influence project implementation. All this helps in assessing project costs and selecting government support measures.
Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development developed a portal for investment project support measures. There are 30 measures available on the site, including credit support, preferential regimes, and tax and tariff benefits.
