The Amur Region is one of the largest regions in Russia’s Far East. The
Region has half of the total arable land of the Far East, 56% of its area is covered with forests, and the hydroelectric potential of the Amur, Zeya, and Bureya rivers accounts for two-thirds of the commercial hydroelectric resources of the Far East. The Region’s proven reserves of mineral resources are estimated at $600 billion to $800 billion.
The Region’s climate enables cultivating cereals, potatoes, vegetables, and
forage crops and raising cattle, pigs and poultry. The Amur Region accounts for up to 40% of the national soybean production. Reindeer are bred in the north of the Region; beekeeping is developed in its south-west, and districts covered by forests feature hunting of fur animals.
The Region plays a leading role in satisfying the Far East’s demand for fuel and energy. Zeyskaya Hydroelectric Power Station, the largest power plant in Russia’s East, generates up to 4 billion kWh of electricity per year. Five units have been put into operation at the Bureyskaya Hydroelectric Power Station (under construction), with their combined capacity much ahead of that of the Zeyskaya Hydroelectric Power Station. The further development of the fuel and energy sector is boosted up by the construction of the Nizhnebureyskaya and Nizhnezeyskaya hydroelectric power (HEP) stations, the reconstruction of thermal power stations, and the development of new coal deposits with a total reserve of some 70 billion tons.
The Amur Region has been mining gold for more than 130 years now. Its gold
reserves rank third in the country. The sector has advanced in recent years thanks to foreign investment in high-technology projects. Several other projects are underway for the development of the unique titanium magnetite and gold-bearing deposits of Bolshoy Seyim, Kuranakhskoye, Pioner, Malomyrskoye, Bamskoye, etc.
The Amur Region is a most important link of Russia’s transport corridors with
the Asia-Pacific countries. The combined length of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and the Baikal-Amur Railroad in the Region exceeds 3,000 kilometers. The Amur (Chita – Khabarovsk) highway is under construction. Four river ports on the rivers Amur and Zeya are capable of processing up to 5 or 6 million tons of freight annually.
The investment appeal of the Amur Region is determined by many other
factors, including its advanced construction sector which emerged in the course of the construction of the Baikal-Amur railroad and Zeyskaya HEPS. The construction sector has received added impetus from the construction of the Bureyskaya HEP station and the Chita-Khabarovsk highway. Annual capital investment stands at $860 million to $980 million.
The Amur Region boasts a fully-fledged financial sector consisting of five regional banks and 19 branches of banks registered in other regions. Some of the banks perform international transactions and have loro accounts at international banks located in USA, Japan, Germany, Austria, the UK and China.
The insurance service market is growing, too. The Region has 34 insurance
companies, including two that are based in the Region.
The Region has a considerable tourism potential. The Amur Land has over
120 natural sanctuaries. Rare plants grow, valuable species of animals are found, and protected species of birds breed here. The Gonzhinsky, Konstantinovsky, and Byssinsky thermal and mineral springs are famous for their curative power.
The Amur Regional Administration accords top priority to the task of fostering
a favorable investment climate and conditions conducive to the implementation of major federal investment projects as well as projects for small enterprise investment support.
