Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on issues of socio-economic development of Kamchatka Krai.
“The time has come to talk about the results, when the head of the region must talk about what has been done to improve the quality of life of citizens, about how the economy is changing in each area, and present plans for how subsequent work will be structured to move forward,” said Yuri Trutnev.
“We are starting to hold meetings with residents: we will discuss the results achieved with them, define tasks for the future that would be related to people’s priorities. Improving the quality of life is the measure of our work. At the beginning of my work in Kamchatka, the first thing that was done was to conduct a survey of tens of thousands of people throughout Kamchatka. Their wishes were collected in a people’s program. Specific results have been achieved under it, which we will talk about with people and discuss the next stage of implementing this program. We managed to resolve issues with completing long-term construction projects of iconic facilities, and resolve long-standing infrastructure problems. The basis for further development has been formed, which we will definitely implement in accordance with the priorities of residents,” said Vladimir Solodov, Governor of Kamchatka Krai.
The meeting discussed issues of development of the main sectors of the economy and aspects of the social sphere.
The region’s economy is based on the fishing industry. Minerals are mined on the peninsula, and work continues to attract investment in tourism. The region ranks third in the Far East in terms of wages.
Investment projects are an important basis for the future development of the region. Kamchatka has a priority development area, a free port, and investors are provided with financial and infrastructure support. 239 investors with projects worth 303 billion rubles have already taken advantage of such government support measures, investors have already invested 127 billion rubles, facilities of 90 investment projects have been commissioned, and more than 12 thousand new jobs have been created thanks to the commissioning of new enterprises. Kamchatka ranks ninth among the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of actual investments with government support, and sixth in terms of jobs created. Projects are being implemented in the fields of logistics, tourism, agriculture, housing construction, mining and processing of minerals.
The most important area of work is the creation of comfortable living conditions for people. Attention is paid to improving the quality of medical and educational services, creating sports infrastructure.
The region has support mechanisms – the Far Eastern mortgage and the Hectare program for the provision of a land plot for free use. More than 1.7 thousand people received preferential mortgages, and over 4.5 thousand people received their Far Eastern hectare.
The issues of stimulating housing construction were considered separately. In the region, 82 thousand square meters of residential premises were commissioned in 2024. This is the eighth place among the Far Eastern regions.
