Investment policy of the Russian Federation and its subjects

In the conditions of modern economic development, the subjects of the Russian Federation are given an increasingly important role in increasing the scale and priorities of their investment activities. The formation and implementation of the investment policy of the regions of the Russian Federation is becoming, in general, an important innovative and socially oriented direction of the economic policy of the Russian state. The primary and twofold goal of the regional investment policy is the mobilization of state investment resources while creating favorable and comfortable conditions for the activation of investment activity. It is in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that projects are being implemented to modernize the production potential, structural shifts in the region’s economy are being laid and developed, and the necessary economic and social facilities are being created again. According to the majority of economists, the problems of investment policy, all its most important directions, have been and remain relevant, in general, for the Russian Federation and its regions: the emasculation of the economic essence of investment, investment recession, i.e. an increase in the number of subjects of the Russian Federation with decreasing volumes of investment activity.
