🇷🇺📊 The Far East leads Russia in the number of energy projects, with a total volume exceeding 4.3 trillion rubles. Demand for new generation capacity will be driven by large industrial enterprises set to launch in the coming years, VTB top manager Dmitry Sredin said at WEF 2026. Other investment hubs include copper, platinum group metals and non-ferrous metals mining, gas chemistry, and infrastructure. Ports, border crossings with China, and modernization of the Eastern Operating Domain are of particular importance.
"Without guaranteed product export, neither energy, nor metallurgy, nor gas chemistry will operate at full capacity," Sredin emphasized.
