Simply about complex things: Talia Minullina about the Regional Investment Standard
It all started with the idea that investors throughout our country should be served equally well, at the highest level, regardless of the subject of the Russian Federation. Tatarstan has already accumulated quite good experience in this regard, and therefore for many years we have been ranked first among the regions in terms of the investment climate in the country for many indicators. This is not only the volume of capital raised, but also the conditions that we provide for investors during the implementation of their projects in our republic. Therefore, Tatarstan was among the regions taken as the basis for writing the standard.
Reginveststandard currently consists of the following five elements.
The first is the presence of a government body in each region that is responsible for supporting investors, where an entrepreneur can turn with questions about what his parameters are, what business intentions he has to implement the project and in what area. The Investment Development Agency, in turn, provides it with comprehensive support in various areas. This includes finalizing the financial and economic model and selecting a land plot or site for rent. Up to the selection of local suppliers. Of course, including government support that we can provide at the municipal, regional or federal level. This is what AIR RT, which I have been heading for 9 years, is doing.

Five development agencies, including us, jointly wrote this standard for the entire country, so that similar departments would appear in each region.
The next element is the investment declaration. This is a declaration of a declared nature with the obligations that the region undertakes when implementing investment projects. Because today there is one head working in the municipality, and tomorrow there may be another. An investment project is a serious and long-term matter, many of them have a payback period of 5-10 years, so it is necessary to protect the rights of the investor. All these stabilization clauses are spelled out in our investment declaration.
The third element is the Investment Map, which is located on the investment portal, which reflects all the information on the region, so that investors do not look for it in different departments, but can find it in one place.
The next element of the standard is a set of investment rules that regulate work with resource supply organizations. Entrepreneurs always have many questions of a technical nature. In order to remove them, they created a set of investment rules. It contains a step-by-step road map of what an investor needs to do to obtain the necessary infrastructure in a short time.
Last, but not least, is the investment committee. In our republic it is called the Investment Council of the Republic of Tatarstan, its chairman is Rustam Minnikhanov. I, in turn, am the secretary of this advisory body, at which we review investment projects, approve them, enter them into the register - take them under our supervision and provide support.
You need to understand that not every investment project is submitted to the Investment Council. Only the largest and most complex ones, where a huge number of investment entities are involved. In order for the project to take place faster, we take it to the highest level.
Thus, the regional investment standard consists of these five elements. All this information is posted on our investment portal. We hope that in general this standard will make the procedure for implementing investment projects more transparent, faster and more efficient.
