Rewritten Article:
Crashing the charts in Siberia, Krasnoyarsk Krai sets a historical record for investment volume. Preliminary numbers indicate a whopping 1.1 trillion rubles poured into the region's economy in 2024, marking a 6.8% surge compared to the previous year.
The economic big kahuna was undoubtedly the mining sector, specifically oil and natural gas, with investments soaring an impressive 2.5 times. A colossal project named "East Oil," linking 52 license areas, is underway in the region's north. This project's resource base holds over 6 billion tons of top-grade crude oil.Construction of the mega oil pipeline and the oil terminal "Port Buchta Sever" continues unabated.
Investment in metal ore mining grew by 1.2 times. This escalation is partly due to the implementation of the complex project "Nornickel" "South Cluster" for the extraction of copper-nickel concentrate, as well as the development of Polymetallic Resources at the Blessed deposit in the Northern Yenisey district, where Polymetallic Ltd. is building a gold extraction plant.
Investments are also seen in energy, waste management, and scrap recycling, construction, and real estate sectors.
"Krasnoyarsk Krai maintains its leadership position in terms of investment volume among Russian regions. We're in the top 10. By the end of 2024, an unprecedented sum of more than three trillion rubles will have been attracted to the region's economy for the first time in its history. This is significant because as investment projects start to materialize, we anticipate a boost in industrial output," comments Tatyana Magdibur, Minister of Economy and Regional Development of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
