Vyacheslav Pozgalev,
GOVERNOR OF THE VOLOGDA REGION,
HEAD OF THE VOLOGDA REGIONAL GOVERNMENT


I am pleased to be given this opportunity to introduce the Vologda Region, a territory in the north of Russia boasting well-developed industry. The Vologda Region is a dynamically developing region located within the North-Western Federal District. Local metals, chemicals, forestry, machine engineering, transport, and agriculture are activities that enjoy significant development potential.
While there is no doubt that the Region’s stable economic growth trends can
only strengthen, domestic and foreign investments, trade and economic cooperation with international business will accelerate this growth.
Regional legislation has been in place for nearly ten years now that sets forth
priority activities for investment and seeks to create a favorable investment climate. More and more companies in the Region obtain investment for technical upgrading and development on their own, finding interested investors.
The Region’s social stability and commitment to partnership bode well for investors. It is not a coincidence that the Vologda Region holds the seventeenth place among Russia’s regions in the minimum investment risk ranking made by the Russian Expert RA agency. Experts are confident that the investment climate in the Vologda Region is becoming more and more attractive year after year, which is the main prerequisite for raising investments.
In 2006 alone, some $2.2 billion was invested into the regional economy,
the bulk coming from domestic investors. The conclusion to be drawn is obvious: if domestic investors have faith in the Region, foreign investors will soon follow suit. And we have already got several proposals. The Vologda Region’s economy is becoming more and more attractive to business.
The Region is intensifying its participation in the economic integration of Russian regions and is becoming a center of business activity in the North-Western Federal District and beyond. Among the factors contributing to that are the annual Russian Forest and Russian Flax international exhibitions. The Veliky Ustyug, Birthplace of Father Christmas project is a success. We invite Russian and foreign partners to take active part in this project.
I am confident that learning more about the investment projects we offer will
help build trust, respect, and mutually beneficial cooperation between the Vologda Region and other Russian regions, the CIS and beyond.
