governor, wishing to be in the region a special economic zone (SEZ), would have to assume financial responsibility for its effectiveness. This approach was approved yesterday at a meeting with Dmitry Medvedev in Gorki. Signed by now with the subjects of the Russian Federation contracts suggest that the non-fulfillment of targets the region will need to buy stake in the management company of the SEZ, which is available on an experimental basis in his management of the federal center.
Now in Russia there are 30 SEZs, 13 more applications for their creation awaiting consideration by the Government. Yesterday Dmitry Medvedev announced that it has signed a decree establishing the 31st SEZ – tourism and recreation – in the Tver region. At the last meeting in the Gorki Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said that the only SEZ since their inception registered 376 residents (74 of them – with foreign participation), attracted 146 billion rubles. private investments, the budget received 14 billion rubles. tax deductions.
While the establishment of the SEZ is financed from the federal budget contributions to the charter capital of the SEZ, which is a wholly-owned Russian Federation. Further, the money sent to the authorized capital of its “daughters” – management companies of special zones. Yesterday, Dmitry Kozak said about the “flaws” in this control scheme – in his words, the responsibility between the federal and regional authorities for not clearly demarcated SEZ. “When there were few areas, the Ministry of Economy could manually manage this process. When they were over 30, just really to all regions of the hand does not reach” – complained the deputy prime minister. Not very successful, and the funding mechanism zones. According to Mr. Kozak of the SEZ and its “daughter” was not profitable to earn through direct activities and placing temporarily available funds on deposit in banks.
In this regard, in July last year was approved by the “road map” to change the control system SEZ. Federal authority to manage them now temporarily transferred to the regional level – on a trial basis until the end of 2016. Such agreements have already been signed with Tatarstan, Lipetsk and Tomsk regions, seven more agreements ready for signing (with Samara, Sverdlovsk, Ulyanovsk, Moscow, Kaluga and Pskov regions, as well as another area – with Tatarstan). As explained by “b” in the Ministry of Economy, under such a contract management company in the SEZ transferred full control of the RF subjects. Regions, in turn, must reach performance by the number of involved residents, jobs, investment, income and tax revenue. If this does not happen, the region will need to redeem the shares of the management company, which passed it on to the management of 2015-2016 years.
The White House claim that the following new SEZ with funding from the federal budget will be created only if the guarantee of governors for their effectiveness. “It is impossible to infinitely replicate these areas. They have to be justified, to make a profit, should be based on real investment, not the mythical, which is unknown, there will be or not,” – supported yesterday expressed Dmitry Kozak position Dmitry Medvedev.
