First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov held a meeting of the headquarters for investments with the regions. From Tatarstan, the meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Midkhat Shagiakhmetov.
First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov summed up the results of work on the creation of investment maps in the country's regions.
A separate issue was the consideration of investment maps being created in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as a tool for selecting sites, determining the possibility of joining all forms of engineering infrastructure.
“The investment map is not a display of the area with marks. This is the data model that an entrepreneur relies on when making an investment decision. Therefore, the procedure for filling out an investment card with up-to-date data should be its integral part,” Andrey Belousov noted.
Also, attention was paid to the issue of compliance with the terms and procedures for providing services to investors by resource supplying organizations.
“The main challenge in the implementation of the new investment standard is the poor interaction between regions and federal resource supply organizations. Often, the effectiveness of work depends on the built personal contacts. Therefore, it is important that resource companies identify responsible persons at the level of deputy for interaction with regions in terms of the standard,” Murat Kerefov said.
Recall that all five elements of the Regional Investment Standard have been approved in the Republic of Tatarstan:
1. Investment declaration;
2. Investment Development Agency;
3. Investment committee;
4. Investment card;
5. Code of investment rules.
Documents on all elements of the Regional Investment Standard are posted on the Investment Portal of the Republic of Tatarstan in the "Invest Standard" tab, in order to provide open access for investors.
As Andrei Belousov said at the meeting, the assessment of the implementation of the regional investment standard will be reflected in the national investment rating of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
“Now, together with the Ministry of Economic Development and sociologists, we are developing a methodology for assessing the implementation of a new investment standard. We will present it to the regions in advance within the framework of the working group of the State Council Commission on Municipal Administration. In the fall, we will hold a rating committee, where we will make the necessary changes. At the end of the year we will be able to launch a new cycle of surveys. Some of the indicators of the standard will be extended to all 85 regions, and we will leave some out of the rating,” said Svetlana Chupsheva, Director General of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
On behalf of Andrey Belousov, Tatarstan will also be involved in the work on the formation of the national rating methodology as an expert holding a leading position in the rating in terms of ensuring investment attractiveness.
