Yuri Trutnev: Transbaikalia has high investment potential

The Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District in the regional government is holding a meeting on April 27 on the implementation of the largest investment projects in Transbaikalia.

“I’d like to start right away with the fact that Transbaikalia has high investment potential.If we talk about mineral deposits, then Transbaikalia contains more than a hundred types of strategically important minerals: uranium ores, copper, gold, tungsten, silver, bismuth and much more.The balance reserves of more than 500 solid mineral deposits account for more than 10% of the country’s total reserves,” noted Yuri Trutnev.

In addition, he added that the proximity to China and Mongolia makes the Trans-Baikal Territory attractive from the point of view of logistics development, and transport and logistics centers are being created in the border areas.

Separately, Yuri Trutnev clarified that a common problem for the entire Far East is the lack of energy capacity.To solve this problem, a program for the development of energy in the Far Eastern Federal District until 2030 is being developed.

“To resolve the issue of providing electricity in the Trans-Baikal Territory by 2029, it is planned to introduce a new generation facility at the Kharanorskaya State District Power Plant and the construction of the Zabaikalskaya Thermal Power Plant by 2031,” Yuri Trutnev specified, noting that other large investment projects will be considered at the meeting.
