TOMSK, Feb 8 –
RIA Tomsk. The total volume of investments in investment
projects which are being implemented in the Tomsk region is expected to reach
90-100 billion rubles in 2018, the deputy governor on investment policy Yury
Gurdin told journalists on Thursday.
Earlier it was
reported that in 2017 in the Tomsk region were implemented more than 50
investment projects worth 350 billion rubles. The volume of investment in fixed
assets of enterprises in the Tomsk region in 2017 amounted to about 100 billion
rubles. State investment support was provided to 26 projects.
"We do not
expect a growth in the volume of investments in 2018 due to the unfavorable
macroeconomic situation and the fact that in 2017 the investment stage for a
number of large projects was completed – the reconstruction of
"Tomskneftekhim", the construction of the plants "Biaxplen"
and "Tomlesdrev" ... Preliminarily we estimate investments in 2017 at
90-100 billion ... In 2018 we expect the same level of investments", – Gurdin
said.

According to
him, the drop in the volume of direct investments is also connected with the
failure to fulfill the previously reached agreements from the part of the
Chinese partners – the issue on the construction of the Beloyarsk Timber
Industrial Park remains unresolved.
The deputy
governor also said that tax benefits for a total amount of about 35 billion
rubles in 2018 will continue to be received by 25 organizations of the Tomsk
region.
"Following
the results of 2017 in the national rating of the investment climate the Tomsk
region entered the top 25 in Russia and took the first place in the Siberian
Federal District", – Gurdin noted.
