Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the socio-economic development of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting in Anadyr on the socio-economic development of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
“According to the results of 2024, Chukotka showed positive dynamics in a number of indicators. Industrial production and investment in fixed capital increased by 9%, mining by 3%. Consolidated budget revenues increased by 6% and in 2024 amounted to 62.8 billion rubles, own revenues increased by 29%,” Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.
The Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug Vladislav Kuznetsov reported on the key results and development plans for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug until 2030. According to the results of 2024, the growth of the Chukotka economy was 13.8%, primarily due to the implementation of large mining projects. At the same time, in addition to the large-scale project for the development of the Baimskaya ore zone, large gold and silver deposits of Kekura and Klyon, and the Beringovsky coal basin deposit are also being developed in the region. Thanks to such projects, highly qualified personnel arrive in the region and a reserve is being created for the training and professional growth of local personnel. Preparations are also underway for mining at three large deposits: Baimskoye, Pyrkakayskiye stockworks and Sovin.
Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is the only region in Russia where three preferential regimes are in effect simultaneously: the Chukotka Advanced Development Area, the Vladivostok Free Port, and the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. Their residents include 97 investors with projects worth 890 billion rubles. Investors in preferential regimes have already invested 390 billion rubles, and 53 projects have been commissioned. More than 5,000 new jobs have been created. In terms of actual investments in projects with state support in 2024, the Okrug ranks fourth among the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District.
“There are three preferential regimes in the region. Thanks to this, a special investment climate is created. Residents are coming to the region. These are large companies engaged in the mining sector, but not only. We plan to develop agriculture and greenhouse farming, to diversify the economy as much as possible,” said Vladislav Kuznetsov.
The strategic objective until 2030 is to move away from the region’s single-industry specialization. In particular, it is planned to develop logistics and tourism. For example, last year a project was developed to create a hotel chain with 280 rooms in five locations (Ugolnye Kopi, Egvekinot, Provideniya, Anadyr, Bilibino, Pevek and Lavrentiya). This year it is planned to identify land plots in Anadyr, Egvekinot and Bilibino, and attract investors for the construction of hotels.
“Chukotka is a territory with difficult living conditions. Our task is to provide an appropriate level of social infrastructure for all residents of the region,” Vladislav Kuznetsov emphasized.
New energy facilities affect the quality of life of people. In Bilibin, the construction of a federal energy center has been completed. The energy center in Bilibin will replace the heat capacity of the Bilibino NPP and act as an emergency source of electricity. The construction of new networks in Pevek has been completed, which has increased the intensity of heat, improved the quality of water, and the ecological situation in the city.
Attention is paid to food security. Three new poultry farms have been launched – in Bilibin, Provideniya, Beringovsky, the region’s self-sufficiency in chicken eggs has increased to 80%. By 2030, it is planned to increase the region’s self-sufficiency in greenhouse vegetables to 100% by introducing four new greenhouses in Anadyr, one greenhouse in Pevek and Egvekinot, and modernizing the Rosinka enterprise in Bilibin. It is planned to modernize existing food processing plants and build ten workshops for deep processing of marine mammal products.
Base LTE stations installed as part of eliminating digital inequality provided access to mobile Internet for another 2 thousand people. By 2030, high-speed Internet will appear in Pevek, Bilibin, 70% of remote villages will be provided with high-speed satellite.
District hospitals have opened in the villages of Omolon and Rytkuchi, another 1,000 people have gained access to modern medical infrastructure, and a long-awaited new school for 100 students has been opened in the village of Ostrovnoye, with 40 children already studying there.
Construction companies receive support. Over 6,000 square meters of housing were built in Chukotka in 2024. Residents of dilapidated buildings receive housing first. By 2030, it is planned to build 45,000 square meters, including 326 rental apartments under the DOM.RF program by 2027.
The implementation of the Anadyr master plan was discussed separately, within the framework of which four infrastructure development activities have already been completed: the construction of an apartment building on Mandrikova Street, 20 (2023), major repairs of courtyard areas within the boundaries of blocks No. 8 and No. 10 in Anadyr (2024), and improvement of the city square (2024).
The “Far Eastern Hectare” and “Far Eastern Mortgage” mechanisms continue to operate in the region; during the programs’ operation, 323 loan agreements have been concluded, and more than 1.2 thousand people have received plots of land.
“We discussed how Chukotka lives and develops. We focused on the general figures for economic development. They are not bad in Chukotka. We separately discussed the implementation of large investment projects, including the construction of the Baimsky Mining and Processing Plant. An entire team of the Government of the Russian Federation should gather in Chukotka to look at the project for developing the Baimsky deposit, which is of flagship importance for the development of the region. The development of the deposit will make it possible to make a breakthrough in the development of Chukotka. It will double the regional budget. I really hope that the project will take place. We will create conditions for the economic potential in Chukotka to increase sharply, budget revenues to increase, and all this will benefit the people,” Yuri Trutnev summed up the meeting.
On the same day, the Deputy Prime Minister inspected the gas-engine thermal power plant (GM TPP), during which he instructed that the project for the modernization of the Zapadno-Ozernoye gas field be finalized, and visited the Anadyr industrial park, located in the production zone within the boundaries of the Chukotka advanced development area.
Yuri Trutnev also congratulated the winners of the VII annual public and business award “Star of the Far East” who are implementing projects in Chukotka: volunteers of the all-Russian movement “TeploZOV-87. Chukotka” for the project to manufacture camouflage nets and suits for the Russian military and OOO GDK “Baimskaya” for the project to develop the Baimskaya copper-porphyry area.
