Petr Sumin,
GOVERNOR OF THE CHELYABINSK REGION,
CHAIR OF THE GOVERNMENT
OF THE CHELYABINSK REGION
Located in the very center of Russia at the border of Europe and Asia, the
Chelyabinsk Region boasts one of the largest economies among Russian
regions. It occupies the 11th place in GRP, the fourth place in volume
of products shipped by manufacturing enterprises, and the eighth place in
residential construction. The Region has a good potential in such areas as science, labor, manufacture, and natural resources. Metallurgy, machine engineering, metalworking, fuel and energy, construction, and agroindustrial sectors are successfully operating. Ferrous metal enterprises of the Region produce 30.8% or Russian steel, 27% of rolled metal, and 15.4% of steel pipes.

Today, the tourism sector is actively growing; business starts to utilize
recreational resources of the Region. 17 mountain skiing complexes and tracks has been built, including 3 international-class ones (Abzakovo, Zavyalikha and Adzhigardak).

The Region is crossed by important roads, railways, and air routes, linking
European and Asian parts of Russia and Kazakhstan.

Enterprises of the Chelyabinsk Region keep expanding the reach of their
relations with foreign companies. The Region’s businessmen do business with companies from 120 countries. Over 80 large and medium-sized companies with foreign capital operate in the Region. The Region’s 2006 external trade turnover totaled $6,730.1 million. Russian and foreign investments volumes keep growing;

in 2006, they exceeded $3.2 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. Investments
come from over 30 countries of the world.

Dozens of large investment projects are being carried out at the Region’s
enterprises. We are open for cooperation with foreign and Russian partners in
such areas as mining, machine engineering, high technology, medicine, energy, agriculture, construction, and trade.

The financial sector of the Region consists of 11 regional banks with 55 branches, 24 offices of the Uralsky Head Office of Sberbank, and over 50
branches and offices of banks from other regions. Many credit institutions have
an extensive branch of additional offices and sub-branches. Other financial
institutes are actively developing.

In December 2006, the Chelyabinsk Region was given the Aa1.ru longterm
credit rating, which proves that the Region’s credit standing is very high,
compared to other Russian regions. The credit rating received by the Region
improves its reputation in the investment and banking circles and helps to
actively attract foreign and Russian investments.

Regional legislation protects investors’ right. All Russian and foreign
investors have equal rights to engage in investment activities, they participate in investment contests, tenders, and auctions on an equal basis, and they can receive all necessary information from the authorities.

I am convinced that prospects of business cooperation will attract favorable
attention to our region. We are ready to provide all necessary information about
investment projects and commodities produced in the Region, and to provide
any support you may need.
