The forum is going to be a major event in the Far Eastern Federal District's economic life, according to Alexander Kostenko, the Vice-Governor of the Maritime Territory. Over 400 individuals from Moscow, Russia's Far Eastern and other regions, officials from central ministries and agencies, and financial market players have declared willingness to participate already.
The forum is designed, above all, to help Russian enterprises find ways of developing the Far Eastern district's economy, according to Mr Kostenko.
The participants will also discuss stock market and mortgage market instruments, the pension reform, the development of the banking services market and ways to improve corporate governance level.
Local enterprises do not have enough resources to boost the region's investment activities, according to Konstantin Pulikovsky, the Russian president's envoy to the district.
Investments account for an average of 57% of overall funds at enterprises' disposal.
Allocations from budgets of all levels account for 13.3% of total investment.
Foreign investors are stepping up their activities, while Russian capital investment options remain poor.
Foreign investment in the region is expected to exceed $2.5 billion this year, investors being interested in the Khabarovsk Region, the Amur Region, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Sakhalin Region.
