The Moscow Region has been one of the most dynamically developing
regions of the Russian Federation for the last few years.
The Region ranks among the leading regions of Russia and the Central
Federal District for many social and economic development indexes including
gross regional product, industrial output, commercial public services, budget
revenues, foreign investment inflow, and retail trade turnover.
The Regional Government’s regional targeted programs and investment
programs aimed at boosting industry, research, and the social sector are being successfully implemented.
The recent economic reforms have had a profound impact on each and
every sector of the Region’s economy.
The Moscow Regional Government is focused on encouraging development
of existing enterprises and establishing new enterprises in manufacture of
machinery and equipment, construction materials, and food and beverages.
Another priority is introduction of modern high technologies.
According to the Expert RA rating agency, the Region ranked among the regions of Russia having high investment potential and moderate risks in 2005-2006.
The improvement of the Moscow Region’s investment image was assisted by
multiple acknowledgements of its credit rating.
In 2006 Standard & Poor’s raised the Moscow Region’s rating from B+
Stable up to B+ Positive, simultaneously confirming the Region’s international
long-term credit rating at BB.
For several years now, the Moscow Region has been working with
renowned international companies, including IKEA (Sweden), Auchan and
Danone (France), Mars and PepsiCo (USA), Ehrmann, Tigi-Knauf, and Hochland (Germany), and many others. Multiple companies continue construction of their plants or expand their production, including Michelin, Saint-Gobain, Pilkington, etc. Such collaboration highlights the economic appeal and dynamism of the Moscow Region.
We strive to make our relations with investors and trading partners
mutually beneficial. The Regional Government sees its role as one of resolving social and economic issues and creating a friendly environment to provide investors with opportunities to invest in high-return projects.
This Guide should act as a sort of a round table uniting all the concerned
parties – the Administration, regional companies, and potential investors from
across the globe. This Guide is a very useful and constructive initiative.
I wish its organizers and participants every success in assisting the
development and strengthening of Russia’s economy.
