Crisis Management Portfolio for the Far East Regions and Regional Fiscal Sustainability

Building D, level 5, conference hall 16

Russian regions have adopted a large package of regional anti-crisis measures to stabilize the socio-economic situation following the measures put in place at the federal level. At present, the anti-crisis portfolio differs by region depending on budgetary capacity, economic specialization (including at the level of the impact of sanctions on primary sectors) and other factors. Some of the anti-crisis measures, both federal and regional, are gaining significant traction, while others are in place more as a formality and many measures are assumed to be short-term. At the same time, the depth of impact of the sanctions on the regional economy and the stability of regional budgets will be different for federal subjects in the Far East, most of which are currently subsidized. Medium-term anti-crisis measures are therefore required. How have federal and regional support measures affected the economic and fiscal stability of federal subjects in the Far East? Which measures have proven to be the most popular and effective? How effectively are support measures penetrating into the real economy? Can strategic priorities be maintained within an anti-crisis framework? What risks do the medium-term effects of sanctions pose for regional budgetary systems? What measures taken at the federal level to stabilize regional budgetary systems have been the most effective? What measures should be taken in the medium term, taking into account the impact of sanctions?
