Today, at an operational meeting in the government of the Murmansk region, the results of the work of investment officers for the first half of 2024 were summed up. Artyom Kuksa, General Director of the Murmansk Region Development Corporation, JSC, said that they had resolved 240 appeals from entrepreneurs. In total, almost 500 entrepreneurs applied to them. Oksana Demchenko, First Deputy Governor of the Murmansk Region, instructed the Corporation to develop a system for evaluating the activities of investment officials.
"This is an important and significant institution. It is necessary that the entrepreneurs themselves evaluate their work, give an analysis of what can be improved. It is important to conduct such an analysis of the work of investment officials, to make it systematic in order to have not only a fragmentary assessment, but also to understand how to improve and fine–tune this work," Oksana Demchenko said.
According to the assessment of the regional Development Corporation, in the first half of 2024, the authorized representatives of Murmansk (among the administrations of cities with subordinate territories), Pechenga District (among municipal districts and districts), Severomorsk (among closed administrative-territorial entities) provided assistance to investors and entrepreneurs in the implementation of investment projects in municipalities. In total, in the first half of the year, investment officials in the municipalities of the region conducted 125 consultations for 489 entrepreneurs, 240 issues were resolved, and 42 more are in the works.
"In order to improve the competencies of the investment and municipal teams, the Development Corporation regularly conducts training programs. In April, the 6th module of the School of Investment Officers was held, dedicated to the new system of support for investment projects in municipalities," said Artyom Kuksa.
The investment officers also took an active part in strategic sessions on updating the regional plan "To live in the North", which were held directly in municipalities, as well as in sessions on master planning of territories.
"The Institute of Investment Officers is an important tool of investment policy, therefore it is necessary to receive a comprehensive assessment from entrepreneurs about the work of this institute in order to understand how else to adjust this work and use feedback in the work within the framework of the new business season," First Deputy Governor of the Murmansk region Oksana Demchenko commented on the results of the next assessment of investment officers.
