Since the beginning of the year, the register of participants in the free economic zone (FEZ) of the new regions has been replenished with another 23 companies from the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions and now includes more than 300 organizations. Among the new participants are enterprises in the spheres of housing and road construction, metallurgy, woodworking and food industries, agriculture, trade and services, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“The SEZ in Donbass and Novorossiya is one of the youngest in the country, and already has 307 investors interested in working in the reunited regions. Their total investment portfolio, declared to date, amounts to almost 120 billion rubles. Thus, the SEZ allows us to solve strategic tasks in general, and also gives impetus to the powerful development of the territories,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Developers from the Donetsk People’s Republic were among the last to sign the agreement on joining the FEZ. They will build two residential buildings in Mariupol with 230 apartments and a total area of over 13,000 square meters, which they plan to commission by the end of 2026. An organization engaged in the repair and construction of highways also joined the FEZ participants. One of the largest investors from the DPR in recent times was a full-cycle metallurgical enterprise that specializes in the production of commercial cast iron, commercial blanks, rolled products and sheets.
The investment project of the organization from the Luhansk People’s Republic is based on the revival of the machine-building enterprise that produces railway gondola cars and special rolling stock in the city of Stakhanov. In addition, companies that produce building materials and are engaged in agriculture have become participants in the SEZ from the LPR.
Entrepreneurs from Zaporizhia and Kherson regions have also entered the free economic zone. Thus, five Zaporizhia organizations operate in the spheres of industry, agriculture, trade and services. A manufacturer from Kherson region is engaged in the woodworking industry and plans to establish a semi-automatic production line. Another company intends to organize uninterrupted fuel trade in Kherson region.
The authorized body for regulating the SEZ is the Ministry of Construction, and the functions of the management company are assigned to the PPK “Territorial Development Fund”.
“The number of SEZ participants is updated literally weekly. This once again confirms the interest of companies in receiving SEZ preferences. In addition, more than 89.6 thousand people will be involved in the implementation of projects. Both confirm the effectiveness of the economic instrument,” added Ilshat Shagiakhmetov, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.
