Legal entities and individuals can now post their properties for rent or purchase on the investment map of Russia.This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Murat Kerefo on 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 option for private individuals to place investment sites. These can include premises for small businesses and land plots for construction and agriculture. Regional administrations will begin reviewing applications in a couple of weeks, and by August, they can be rented or purchased," said Murat Kerefo.The investment map of the Russian Federation was launched at the end of February this year. During this time, over 16 thousand investment sites have been posted. Just in the last month, 130 sites have been sold. Half of them were sold for 1.6 billion rubles, while the other half was rented out, generating a monthly income of 14 million rubles for regional and local budgets.The map allows for a qualitative assessment of the business environment of the future project: sales markets, preferential regimes, availability of minerals, and infrastructure — from road surfaces to cellular communication. If the necessary connections are absent, the cards of the plots indicate the conditions for technical connection. There is an opportunity to select sites in different regions and compare them, as well as obtain information about key macroeconomic indicators of Russian entities that can affect the implementation of the project. All of this allows for assessing the costs of the project and identifying measures for state support.Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development developed a portal for support measures for investment projects. There are a total of 30 support measures available on the website — including assistance with financing, preferential regimes, and tax and tariff benefits.
