Russia’s Arctic regions have the richest natural resources and they may
well serve as an economic growth engine during the crisis years. For this,
though, the government must take care of the local population to ensure those
who have to exist in rigorous climatic conditions for years can keep their
homes warm at far more friendly costs than those charged elsewhere in Russia,
and enjoy good transport infrastructures. Otherwise, the local people may just
pack their bags and go.
This is the gist of what was said at Thursday’s discussion Russia’s
Government Policy for Arctic Development: New Priorities. The meeting was held
on the sidelines of the 2015 Gaidar Economic forum, arranged for the by Russian
Academy of the National Economy and Public Administration (RENAPA).
