V. Matvienko suggested to think about the organization of a single Far Eastern economic forum

Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko suggested thinking about organizing a unified Far Eastern Economic Forum. According to the press service of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, the proposal was made during the "government hour", at which Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev spoke.

Valentina Matvienko also stressed the importance of attracting domestic and foreign investment to the implementation of macro-region development projects. “It is necessary to use all modern financial instruments and institutions, the possibilities of public-private partnership,” she said.

At the “government hour,” Yury Trutnev responded to questions from senators regarding the long-term socio-economic development of the Far East. In particular, speaking about how to ensure population growth in the FEFD, Yury Trutnev stressed that “the situation should be improved by raising the economic and social sphere”.

As an example, he cited the planned area of ​​priority development in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The city “has an aircraft factory that can produce many times more products, but the city does not correspond to the living conditions of the people working there,” the deputy prime minister said. “Therefore, it is necessary to start with the organization of infrastructure, then there will be a population growth. The infrastructure should be the same as in the European part of Russia, but in a short time it is impossible and therefore it is necessary to create economic centers is simple, ”he said.

As a result of the discussion, the senators adopted the Resolution of the Federation Council "On the Long-Term Social and Economic Development of the Far East and the Baikal Region" as a basis.
