Evgenia Zusman: PPP support mechanisms unlock investment opportunities in the Far Eastern federal district

30.07.2025

In the article «Support for Trillions: a new approach to PPP» published by the online resource «Vostok Rossii,» the author highlights that residents of various preferential regimes are implementing nearly 2,900 investment projects in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). A total of 944 enterprises have been launched across various service and manufacturing sectors. According to agreements with the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, investors have injected 5.1 trillion rubles since 2015, with plans to increase this figure to 12 trillion rubles by 2030.

Consequently, achieving this goal requires attracting nearly 7 trillion rubles in investments over the coming period. This raises the question of how these plans align with the region's investment potential.

Evgenia Zusman, Managing Partner of You & Partners, comments: »At first glance, high key rates and long payback periods of 15-20 years—who knows what will happen in 15 years? However, such long-term projects allow for the mitigation of inflationary risks over an extended horizon. Secondly, they provide opportunities to review and smooth out the interest rate, even if you enter the project at a high rate. Thirdly, they enable reliance on state support mechanisms not only at the project's inception but throughout its structuring and potential restructuring.»

«Although budgetary funds may be sequestered, as stipulated in the Budget Code, the state is, in reality, no less invested in the success of a PPP project than the investor and is least inclined to cut or terminate it if everything is proceeding more or less according to plan and the facility is being constructed and prepared for commissioning,» emphasizes the Managing Partner of You & Partners.

In conclusion, the implementation of support mechanisms creates favorable conditions for realizing investment projects. This not only fosters infrastructure development but also promotes regional economic growth.
