1. INTRODUCTION
The Far East of Russia is a region with a vast territory and a powerful resource potential, but
at the same time, with extreme natural and climatic and socio-economic conditions. Due to
objective and subjective reasons, the resource potential is not used to the best advantage. In a
region with a population density of only 1 person per km. sq., with vast undeveloped territories
and resources, additional funds are required for development.
To ensure stable regional development, it is necessary to advance and implement a strategic
investment policy, i.e. evidenced-based and longstanding policy [21, 23]. In the Socio-
Economic Development Strategy of the Far East and the Baikal Region for the Period up to
2025, investments are one of the main instruments for achieving the strategic goal of the
document, which reads as follows – “the implementation of the geopolitical task of entrenching
the population in the Far East and the Baikal region due to the creation of a developed economy
and comfortable human environment in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation
located in this territory, as well as the achievement of the average Russian level of socio-
economic development” [1].

At present, the importance of investment has increased not only at the country level, but
also at the level of regions and economic entities. Owing to investments, there is an opportunity
to increase production, develop infrastructure, create new jobs and, thereby, improve the level
and quality of life of the population.
In modern conditions, one of the priorities of encouraging investment is to increase the
investment attractiveness of the regions and the country as a whole. This, in turn, necessitates
the identification of challenges and prospects for investing in the regions, as well as an analysis
of investment activity and, accordingly, an assessment of the subjects’ investment
attractiveness.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The existence of various interpretations of investment attractiveness determines the existence
of a variety of methods for its evaluation. The most common form of assessment is the
calculation of the indicator on the basis of certain quantitative and qualitative characteristics of
the region under study.
There are two methods for calculating the indicator:
1. calculation of the integral index – one integral indicator calculated on the basis of
indicator-factors of investment attractiveness;
2. calculation of two independent values – investment potential and investment risk.
The level of investment attractiveness is determined by the ratio of the two
previously mentioned independent values. It is worth noting that with this method
it is impossible to make a ranking list with regions [5].
Ratings of investment attractiveness today are the most popular form of presenting the
results of assessing the RF regions’ investment attractiveness.
This study considered the most commonly used domestic techniques (Figure 1):
RAEX (Expert RA) methodology;
Methodology of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (АSI);
National Rating Agency methodology (NRA).

Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 4 editor@iaeme.com
As a result of analyzing the methods of the three organizations (Expert-RA, NRA, ASI),
by certain comparative characteristics, the Expert-RA Rating Agency methodology was chosen
as the most suitable for assessing the region’s investment attractiveness – analyzing the level
of investment attractiveness by its components. In the course of the study, only Expert-RA
ratings are used as a benchmark rating for calculating the region’s investment attractiveness.
The methods of statistical and econometric analysis were used to analyze the main
indicators of investment activity.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Analysis of the key indicators of investment activity in the Republic of Sakha
(Yakutia)
The socio-economic development of the region is impossible without efficient investment
activity. Conducting an effective policy to induce investment in the region’s economy, it is
necessary to perform continuous monitoring of investment activities, to identify its main trends,
challenges and promising ways of development of this economic sector.
The authorized executive body of the government in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in
the area of investment is the Ministry of Investment Development and Entrepreneurship of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It carries out the functions of state regulation of investment
activities, the implementation of state innovation policy, state policy in the field of public-
private partnership, cluster policy, state policy in the field of small and medium-sized
businesses, the tourism industry, image policy in terms of promotion and implementation of
investment, innovation and tourism potential of Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The Ministry
was established in January 2017 [14].
To identify the major parameters of the investment activity of the region under study, an
analysis of indicators reflecting its effectiveness was carried out on the basis of statistical data
for 2005–2017 including:
amount of investment in fixed assets;
amount of investment in fixed assets per capita;
generic structure of investment in fixed assets;
investments in fixed assets by directions;
structure of investments in fixed assets by funding sources;
structure of investments in fixed assets by types of economic activities (TEA);
Distribution of investments in fixed capital by particular forms of ownership.
The first indicator in the analysis is the volume of investments in fixed capital, which
includes the cost of construction, reconstruction (comprising expansion and modernization) of
facilities, which leads to a growth in their initial cost and increases the helpful effect of use
(hereinafter construction), the acquisition of machinery, equipment, vehicles, industrial and
household equipment, accounting of which is carried out in the way prescribed for the
accounting of investments in long-term assets, the creation of a working, productive and
pedigree herd, planting and growing perennial crops, etc., investments in intellectual property:
software and databases, genuine works of entertaining genre, those related to literature and art,
research and development, creation and acquisition of inventions, utility models and industrial
designs, exploration of the subsoil and estimation of mineral reserves, including incurred
intangible exploration costs [19, 22, 24].

Figure 2 shows the dynamics of investments in fixed capital in monetary terms and the
share of investments in RS (Ya) in the total volume of investments in the FEFD.
Figure 2 Dynamics of amount and growth rate of fixed asset investment in the Sakha (Yakutia)
Republic in 2005-2017 [16, 17]
For the period under analysis, from 2005 to 2017, the dynamics of the volume of
investments in fixed assets represents a positive trend. There is a growth in the amount of
investments in fixed assets by RUB 335,875 mln. These changes are a positive factor, and
indicate the development of the investment market in the RS (Ya) for a given period of time,
which was largely facilitated by the investment policy pursued by the Government of the RS
(Ya). The decrease in the volume of investments was recorded in 2010, 2013 and 2014, and in
2010 there was a sharp decline in the indicator (by 62,155 million rubles, that is, by 32.26%).
The reasons for the decline in investment are related to the economic crisis in 2009.
Consider investment growth and growth rates (Table 1).

Over twelve years, the volume of investment has increased almost by eight times.
Compared with the previous year under analysis – by 1.4 times. The average growth rate was
118%.
Below is the dynamics of the volume of investments in fixed capital per capita in the RS
(Ya) in 2005-2017.
Figure 3 Dynamics of the amount of fixed asset investments per capita in the RS (Y) in 2005-2017,
RUB [16, 17]
The population of the RS (Ya) during the analyzed period was in the range of 954.3-964.3
thousand people; there were no drastic changes. Therefore, the dynamics of investments per
capita is similar to the dynamics of investments of the entire region. In 2017, the volume of
investments per capita increased sharply and amounted to 399,088.8 rubles, which is 7.8 times
more than that in 2005. As compared to the previous year, the value increased by 39.4%, which
is also associated with the growth in the total investment.
Further, the position of the republic in the FEFD is considered. The volume of investments
by subjects of the FEFD is presented in Appendix A. The share of investments in RS (Ya) in
the total volume of investments in the economy of the Far East is calculated (Table 2).

The dynamics of investment in the subjects of the FEFD has been growing since 2014. As
of 2017, the volume of investment in fixed assets amounted to 1,217 billion rubles, which is
7.6% in the total volume in RF.
The share of investments in RS (Ya) in the FEFD total volume by 2017 reached a maximum
value for the analyzed period – 31.61%, i.e. among 9 subjects of FEFD, one third of all funds
are invested in the economy of RS (Ya).
In 2010-2013 the share continued to grow, then a slight decrease was observed. The value
of the indicator is in the range from 16 to 32%. The minimum share was observed in 2010,
which coincided with a sharp decline in investment. As a result, there is a positive upward trend
in the share of RS (Ya).
Of particular importance in stimulating investment activity are the volumes of real
investment, which can be characterized by such an indicator as the share of investments in
fixed assets in the gross regional product (GRP). This indicator is an indicator reflecting the
economic efficiency. The calculated shares are presented in Table 3. This indicator is shown
for the period 2005-2016, due to the lack of data on GRP for 2017.

For the analyzed period, the maximum value was reached in 2007 – the share was about a
half in the RS (Ya) GRP. In 2015, the share was one fifth in GRP – 26.5%.
Investments in fixed assets in 2016 account for about a third of the share in GRP. Within
the FEFD, RS (Ya) has the second result after the Amur Region, the share of which was 45.1%
in 2016.
The value for this indicator in the RS (Ya) is more than the average for Russia (investment
in Russia’s GDP accounts for only one-fifth, 20.8%). Thus, it can be argued that according to
this indicator, the economy of the republic is regarded as quite effective.
The next indicator for analyzing the investment activity in the RS (Ya) is the generic
structure of fixed asset investments (Figure 4). Data for 2017 are not available.

8. Development of the Main Directions for Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 8 editor@iaeme.com
As Figure 4 shows, half and more of the investment is directed to buildings and facilities,
then about a third – to machinery, equipment and vehicles. Compared to 2005, the structure of
2016 has noticeably changed: the share of investments in buildings and facilities increased
from 46.7% to 66.2%, while the share in machinery and equipment decreased from 40.6 to
21.3%. The share of investments in dwellings also decreased and amounted to 7.6%, the share
of other investments in fixed assets doubled by 2016 during the last 12 years – 8.9%.
The structure of investments in three areas is further considered: construction,
modernization and reconstruction, the acquisition of new fixed assets. The data are presented
in Table 4 for the period 2012-2016.

2016 75.9 8.3 76.1 17.3 19.4 64.1
Source: Calculated by the authors on the basis of statistical data [16, 17]
Each area is divided into buildings and facilities, machinery, equipment and vehicles. Over
five years, the structure has undergone changes, especially the differences are noticeable in the
area of “modernization and reconstruction”: if in 2012, machines and equipment accounted for
about a third of investments in modernization and reconstruction, then in 2016 the share
decreased to 17.3%, respectively, the share of investment in buildings and facilities increased
(76.1%).
As of 2016, a larger percentage of construction accounted for buildings and facilities
(75.9%). In the area of “modernization and reconstruction” a large share of investments is also
related to buildings and facilities. Consequently, the share of machinery and equipment prevails
in the area of “the acquisition of new fixed assets” – 64.1%.
The following analyzed structure of investments is by funding sources. Sources of
investment are divided into internal and external (including budget funds of the federal budget
and the regional budget). The structure in the form of a graph is shown in Figure 5.

http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 9 editor@iaeme.com
The above structure of investments shows an increase in the share of investments from
internal funds until 2012-2014, then an increase in external investments due to the growth in
the share of others (excluding budget funds). According to the data of 2016, the structure of
investments is as follows: for 44% of investments in RS (Ya), the source is legal entities’ own
funds, the remaining 56% are external investments. The share of funds raised from the budget
was 13% (this figure continues to decline over 5 years).
In Figures 6 and 7, we consider the structure of investments in fixed assets by types of
economic activity (TEA) in 2012 and 2016. For the convenience of displaying data, parts of
the TEA in which the share is a small percentage are included in one “miscellaneous” group
(agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, trade, and others).
Figure 6 The structure of investment in fixed assets by TEA in RS (Ya) in 2012 [16, 17]
In 2012, the largest share of investments in fixed assets in the structure accounted for the
mining operations (33%), further “electricity, gas and water production and distribution” takes
a quarter of investments, the share of TEA “transport and communications” is 22%, then “real
estate activities” account for 7% of investment. The group “miscellaneous” amounts to 11%.
Figure 7 The structure of investment in fixed assets by TEA in RS (Ya) in 2016 [16, 17]
10. Development of the Main Directions for Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 10 editor@iaeme.com
As presented in the figures above, the structure has undergone some changes over 5 years.
The share of mining significantly increased. Thus, the share of investments in the production
and distribution of electricity, gas and water has decreased.
In 2016, in the total amount of investment in fixed assets of the RS (Ya), the largest share
is “mining” (51%), followed by “transport and communication” with a share of about a quarter
of investments (24%), “electricity, gas and water production and distribution” (8%), “real estate
activities” (6%).
Further, in Table 5, the distribution of investments in fixed capital by particular forms of
ownership is considered: Russian, foreign, joint Russian and foreign. The structure of Russian
investments, in turn, is divided into state, municipal, private and mixed Russian investments.

2016 88.4 7.7 5.0 62.9 12.6 1.9 9.7
Most of the investments during two years are of Russian origin: 94% in 2012 and 88.4% in
2016. Foreign investments make up only about 2% of the total investment in the RS (Ya). Over
5 years, the share of joint investment increased: in 2012, joint Russian and foreign investments
amounted to 9.7%.
In terms of Russian investments, private investments prevail (62.9% in 2016). The share of
investments of mixed ownership decreased from 30.4% to 12.6%. Minor shares are of state and
municipal forms – 7.7% and 5%, respectively.
Thus, the analysis of investment activity of RS (Ya) is carried out on the basis of statistical
data related to seven indicators. The dynamics of investments in fixed assets has a positive
trend; by the end of 2016, the volume of investments amounted to 275.3 billion rubles. RS (Ya)
takes about a third – 28% in the structure of investments in FEFD.
Most of the funds are invested in the construction, modernization and reconstruction of
buildings and facilities, as well as the purchase of vehicles and equipment. According to the
financing sources, first of all, the external funds in the amount of 56% are invested (a small
share is connected with budget funds).
The analysis of the structure of investment in TEA over five years indicates a low
investment diversification. The share of investments in mining increased, in 2016 this share
was more than a half (51%). In the meantime, the share of investments in TEA “electricity, gas
and water production and distribution” is decreasing.
Thus, it can be assumed about the investment activity of the RS (Ya) at the level above the
average based on statistical data analysis.
Besides, within this part of the work, factors limiting the investment activities of RS (Ya)
organizations are highlighted.
For the subjects of the FEFD, investments can be one of the most important factors in
regional development. In turn, organizations operating in the core economic activities in the
region provide the basis for attracting and operating investments.
The enterprises’ investment activity determines the growth rate of production and
competitiveness in the long term [2]. It is necessary to consider not only the factors contributing

Darbasov,M. N. Okhlopkov And V. S. Dadykin
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 11 editor@iaeme.com
to the growth of investment attractiveness (i.e., factors of investment potential), but also factors
constraining investment activity.
The total volume of investments in fixed capital in the FEFD entities by the end of 2016
amounted to 985.2 billion rubles (11% increase compared to the previous year). More than a
half of the volume of investments accounted for buildings and facilities (58.6%), then 24.8%
of investments in machinery, equipment and vehicles, 8.2% – dwellings, 8.4% – other types of
fixed assets [4].
In 2016, in 85 RF subjects, the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation
(RF FSSS) conducted a sample survey of investment activity of organizations operating in the
following areas: “mining”, “manufacturing,” “electricity, gas and water production and
distribution”. The sample size equals to 23.7 thousand organizations. In the sectoral structure
of the GRP in the FEFD regions, the above-mentioned types of economic activity accounted
for 57.2% of all GRP in 2016, and in the structure of investments in fixed assets – more than a
half (59.1%) [4].
Table 6 presents the results of the survey conducted by the RF FSSS.

As part of a sample survey, factors were identified that limit the organizations’ investment
activities. The main factors constraining the growth of investment activity among the FEFD
12. Development of the Main Directions for Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

entities are the lack of own financial resources and the uncertainty of the economic situation in
the country; these reasons were chosen by 61% of the heads of organizations. Besides,
investment activity is limited by a high percentage of commercial loans (57%). The results of
the survey in the RS (Ya) are as follows: 87% of the heads of organizations state that the
limiting factor is the uncertainty of the economic situation, 80% – the lack of their own funds,
78% – a complicated mechanism for obtaining loans, 72% – a high percentage of commercial
loans.
Next, we consider the structure of investment volumes in FEFD subjects in Figure 8 by
sources of financing – internal (organization profit, reserve funds, contributions to the equity
capital, aimed at investing, etc.) and external funds (bank loans, funds from the federal, regional
and local budgets, foreign investment, etc.).
Figure 8 Distribution of investments in fixed capital by sources of funding in the FEFD, 2016, % [17]
Throughout FEFD, the structure of investments is as follows: 44.2% account for own funds,
the remaining 55.8% are external. In all the regions under consideration, the share of funds
raised is about a half and more. The minimum share of funds raised is observed in the
Kamchatka Krai – 44.1%. In the Magadan Region, the Jewish Autonomous Region, the
Chukotka Autonomous Region, the share of non-own funds makes up more than 70% of the
total investment.
In RS (Ya), the source of financing 55.8% of investments in fixed assets are external funds.
The ratio of internal and external funds in the volume of investments reflects a significant
predominance of external funds.
The results of a sample survey of the Russian Federation conducted by the FSSS and the
structure of investments in fixed capital by sources of financing indicate the importance of the
impact of the lack of own financial resources in organizations as a limiting factor.
In addition to the factors identified by the FSSS sample survey, the limiting factor can also
be attributed to the staff composition not always complying to organization’s requirements
(quantitative characteristics and personnel’s professional level), the absence or lack of
government support, and the lack of information in organizations [25]. These factors require
more in-depth analysis and other assessment methods.
The level of industrial organizations’ investment activity reflects the level of development
of the region to a certain extent. Organizations should follow an investment strategy related to
financial resources planning [3]. Thus, the assessment of investment activity should be based
not only on the investment potential, but also on the analysis of limiting factors. Knowledge of

the barriers to investment activity is significant for taking appropriate measures and developing
a sound investment policy for the organization, the region and the country as a whole.
3.1. Analysis of investment attractiveness of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Investment attractiveness is analyzed through different approaches. The analysis can be carried
out as a statistical analysis of the main indicators, and investment attractiveness index
calculated by the authors on their own, etc. In this paper, the analysis is conducted on the basis
of the assessment of investment attractiveness, as well as the index of investment attractiveness
calculated by the authors.
The analysis of the investment attractiveness of RS (Ya) according to the results of the
research of the Rating Agency Expert-RA for 2012-2017 has been carried out. The results of
the evaluation of the investment attractiveness of the RF regions are annually presented in the
federal media and on the agency’s official website.
As was considered in the first part of this work, according to the agency’s methodology,
each subject of the Russian Federation is given a quantitative characteristic (how great the
potential is and to what extent the risk is high), on the basis of which each region is related to
a specific group (category) of investment attractiveness.
For the analyzed period, from 2012 to 2017, according to the results of the RS (Ya) rating,
it belongs to the category 3B1 – the group of “reduced potential-moderate risk”. The other
subjects of FEFD also belong to this category according to the Expert-RA rating.
For a detailed analysis the regions’ investment attractiveness according to Expert-RA data
for 2012-2017 are reviewed. Table 7 presents the results of the RS (Ya) ratings over the
analyzed period.

Over the six years under analysis, RS (Ya) takes positions 19-21. By 2017, it shifted from
position 19 to 20. The value of the potential (the share in the nationwide potential) increased
significantly in 2017, there is a growth trend since 2013.
According to the risk rating, the RS (Ya) shifted to the 54th place, however, the value of
the weighted average risk index is decreasing.
Expert-RA reports also provide rankings for individual risk and potential components.
Further we consider their specification in order to find out exactly which potentials and risks
ensure an increase in the level of attractiveness, which, on the contrary, reduce.
The ranks of the investment potential components are presented in Table 8.

As for the natural resource potential, over all analyzed years the RS (Ya) occupies the
second position after the Krasnoyarsk Krai. As for the other potential components, it occupies
positions no higher than the 20s: according to the labor component it is the 55th position out
of 85 possible ones, as for the consumer component, it is 42 (the upward shift is observed),
according to the institutional one – 54.
According to the financial potential as of 2017, the RS (Ya) has risen from the 34th place
to the 25th place. The opposite picture is observed as for the innovative component of the
potential: the 53rd place in 2017 against the 35th position in 2012.
By the level of infrastructure potential, the RS (Ya) rating remains low: the 83rd rank
among 85 RF subjects. Thus, the RS (Ya) 20th rank in terms of investment potential is
supported by a high level of natural resource potential.
In terms of investment risk, the republic belongs to the “moderate risk” group. In 2017, RS
(Ya) was assigned the 54th rank. Below in Table 9 the investment risk components are
considered.

The decrease in the risk ranking in 2017 is due to the advance in the performance of other
regions, since the value of investment risk is improving. Reducing the risks of economic (the

could contribute to the improvement.
However, there is a significant deterioration in the position by the management risk
component (shift by 14 positions). As for the social and financial risk, there are no
improvements. Almost the last position is taken by RS (Ya) according to the environmental
risk – the 82nd one out of 85.
Thus, the region activities related to investment attractiveness is to reduce social, financial,
environmental and managerial risks. As for the investment potential, the level of potential (the
20th rank) is ensured to the greatest extent by the only capacity– the provision of the republic
with natural resources. To increase investment attractiveness, it is necessary to focus on
carrying out a range of activities and measures to improve positions related to the other
components of the potential, especially institutional, tourism and infrastructure ones.
3.2. SWOT-analysis of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) investment attractiveness
To develop measures for increasing the level of regional investment attractiveness, it is
necessary to conduct a preliminary analysis and assessment, where the current state of affairs
in the region will be considered, and for this reason, identify possible directions for its
development.
The geographical position of the RS (Ya) is considered, the main statistical indicators of
the investment attractiveness components are analyzed.
The RS (Ya), a RF subject, is located in the eastern part of the country, occupies 3,083,523
square km, which is 18% of the total Russian area. The structure of land area by type of land
is as follows: agricultural land – 0.5%, forest area – 53.5%, surface water and swamps – 10.7%.
The position of the republic also determines the presence of minerals. By the diversity and
volume of mineral deposits, the RS (Ya) territory is unique not only in Russia, but also
worldwide. Here are deposits of oil, gas, coal, ferrous and non-ferrous ores, precious metals
and diamonds. It is necessary to take into account, in comparison with other RF regions, in
Yakutia, the degree of exploration maturity is low, which indicates a significant potential for
identifying new mineral deposits.
The demographic situation in the republic is shown in Table 10.

In the region since 2014, a trend of population growth has been observed. In analyzing the
two components of the population change, it was found:
the mortality rate is below the birth rate in the republic, there is a natural increase
in the population;
16. Development of the Main Directions for Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 16 editor@iaeme.com
more people leave RS (Ya) rather than arrive here – it means the migration loss.
The value of the natural increase (despite the decline in the birth rate) in the population
determines the population growth in the RS (Ya). Besides, a positive trend in the population
size among FEFD subjects is observed only in the RS (Ya).
Further, the republic’s geographical position determines severe climatic conditions: there
is the Arctic belt climate in the north, in the center the climate is subarctic (continental), there
is the temperate zone (continental) climate in the south. The temperature amplitude is more
than 100 degrees Celsius: the maximum recorded temperature is +38.4 degrees, the minimum
is -64.4 degrees.
But at the same time, the RS (Ya) is at the other end of the capital of Russia, a low
population density, huge area, low proportion of road equipment – this clearly shows the
economic disadvantage of Yakutia.
As for the government efforts in the field of investment: the well-coordinated work of the
Ministry of Investment Development and Entrepreneurship of the RS (Ya) and its subordinate
organizations ensured the achievement of indicators of target business facilitation models and
increasing investment attractiveness – 94% (the average value in Russia is 92%).
Based on the analysis of the main indicators of investment activity in the republic and the
investment attractiveness components, a SWOT analysis of the RS (Ya) investment
attractiveness was conducted, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the region, as well
as opportunities and threats (Table 11).

The use of SWOT-analysis to study the weaknesses and strengths of the RS (Ya)
investment sphere has made it possible to identify factors that positively and negatively affect
the investment activity in the republic, as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of
the region, the opportunities for prospective activities and threats to their implementation.
The key competitive advantage of the RS (Ya) is high availability of natural resources.
Natural potential occupies the greatest weight in the regional investment potential. Besides, the
natural potential is the source of other strengths of the region, most of the funds are invested in
the regional resource sector.
The strengths of the region also include the functioning of the executive body of state power
– the Ministry of Investment Development and Entrepreneurship, as well as other institutions
under its jurisdiction. Well-coordinated work of state bodies allowed improving the position of
the RS (Ya) in the ASI rating according to 2017 year results.
In the strengths of the republic, a favorable demographic situation is highlighted. Among
the FEFD subjects, only in RS (Ya) there is a positive trend in the population change in the
region, which is ensured by natural population growth.
The main weakness of the RS (Ya) is the transport infrastructure. Low density of roads,
isolation from the unified transport network of the RF, seasonal functioning of roads – all this
results in high transportation costs, which reduces the region’s investment potential and
increases risks. The situation with the transport infrastructure is complicated by the area of the
republic and the climatic conditions; significantly more resources are needed compared to other
regions for the construction and development of transport infrastructure facilities.
At the current stage, the following features can be identified:
promising overseas Asian markets;
huge potential for developing a tourist complex in the republic;
diversification of the republic’s economy through the development of other
economic sectors.
Along with the possibilities there exist threats. Among the threats, it is not only the mono-
industry economy in the RS (Ya) that stands out, the bulk of the GRP belongs to the extractive
industry. There are also other potential threats. Despite the increase in the population number
in RS (Ya), the share of the working-age population is decreasing due to the migration
(interregional and international) population outflow. Further, an analysis of investment
attractiveness based on the results of the Expert RA Agency rating showed that investment risk
is greatly enhanced due to environmental, social, and managerial components, which indicates
the presence of non-economic threats.
In this article the main trends in investment activity in the RS (Ya) are singled out. In the
context of FEFD, a third of the funds are invested in the economy of the republic. Regarding
the results of 2017, the volume of investments in fixed assets exceeded 380 billion rubles,
which is 39% more than the value of 2016. Half of the investments in fixed assets are directed
to work in the TEA “mining”.
Further, the components of the RS (Ya) investment attractiveness according to the
methodology of the Agency Expert-RA are considered. It has been revealed that the reserve
for increasing investment attractiveness consists in reducing social, financial, environmental
and managerial risks. As for the investment potential, the level of potential (the 20th rank) is
ensured to the greatest extent by the only capacity – the provision of the republic with natural
resources.
18. Development of the Main Directions for Increasing the Investment Attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 18 editor@iaeme.com
In the study to identify negative and positive factors affecting the formation of the regional
investment potential, the authors used the SWOT-analysis method. The conducted SWOT-
analysis reflects the situation that has been created at the present stage of RS (Ya) development.
This analysis will highlight areas in which it will be possible to increase the level of investment
attractiveness of the republic.
3.3. The main directions of increasing the level of investment attractiveness of the
Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
With low and medium indicators of investment attractiveness of the region, upon the
availability of potential, it is necessary to take actions and measures that should be aimed at
creating a positive image of the region in the market and identifying internal and external
opportunities. Besides, the region activities related to increasing investment attractiveness is to
reduce social, financial, environmental and managerial risks that are inherent in all regions
without exception.
In the complex of works performed to increase the investment attractiveness of the region,
it is recommended to highlight areas that are the most promising and realistic, taking into
account the features of a particular region. Therefore, the process of attracting funds to the
regional economy requires a preliminary, reasonable, detailed analysis of objects related to
investment attractiveness.
On the basis of the conducted research in the present work, namely: consideration of
methods for rating the investment attractiveness of RF constituent entities, analysis of the main
indicators of investment activity in RS (Ya), analysis of the components of the region’s
investment attractiveness and SWOT analysis, the areas in which it is necessary and possible
to raise the level of investment attractiveness of the republic have been singled out.
First, the diversification of the RS (Ya) economy. The natural resource potential makes the
greatest contribution to the investment potential. About half of the investment is the mining
industry. However, it should be noted that resources are limited, and in the long term, the focus
on the republic’s raw materials cannot be a positive trend. Therefore, it is necessary to create
and develop other economic sectors for investment, to find a balance between the use of natural
resources and other economic activities.
Secondly, the development of infrastructure, in particular the transport one – the
construction and creation of transport infrastructure facilities to minimize transport costs, to
level road constraints and challenges. Problems of transport infrastructure explain the need to
build a bridge across the Lena River, which will eliminate the isolation of the administrative
center of the RS (Ya) – the city of Yakutsk in the offseason period, will reduce transportation
costs, contribute to the regional socio-economic development.
Thirdly, the development of the tourist complex, which will contribute to the creation of
the republic’s investment image. There is a potential and base for the development of this
complex (unique natural objects). But climatic conditions complicate the development of this
facility.
Fourth, cooperation with foreign investors in Asia. The location of the RS (Ya) in the Far
East makes it possible to build cooperation with Asian countries: China, Japan and South
Korea. The previous experience (positive and negative) of work with foreign investors
demonstrates that economic cooperation between the RS (Ya) and representatives of foreign
Asian countries is feasible.
In view of this study, it should be concluded that possible ways to increase the RS (Ya)
investment attractiveness should be based on an analysis of the attractiveness components:

Darbasov,M. N. Okhlopkov And V. S. Dadykin
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 19 editor@iaeme.com
which components of the potential should be taken into account, which risks should be reduced.
The SWOT-analysis allowed identifying the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and
threats to the RS (Ya) investment attractiveness.
Thus, the formation of investment attractiveness requires the performance of a complex of
works not only by the authorized executive body of the republic, but also by all other
authorities.
4. CONCLUSION
The concept of investment attractiveness of the region appeared in the last century, but through
present it does not lose its relevance, on the contrary, new issues appear in this area of research,
which requires analysis and evaluation. The most pressing issues are those of investment
attractiveness of regions that need a leap in socio-economic development. The subject of this
study is the investment attractiveness of the RS (Ya).
The RS (Ya) is a subject of the FEFD, characterized primarily by the presence of a variety
of diverse natural resources. However, the republic is also characterized by a difficult economic
situation, due to climatic conditions, a huge undeveloped area, and underdeveloped
infrastructure.
When considering the theoretical aspects of investment attractiveness, an interrelation with
other identical concepts such as “investment climate”, “investment potential”, and “investment
risks” was revealed. Most authors define the investment attractiveness of the region as an
economic category, which includes the potential and risks, as well as reflecting the level of
development of the regional economy. Methods for assessing the investment attractiveness by
Russian agencies are considered.
Thus, the investment attractiveness of the region is a combination of investment
opportunities and investment risks of the regional economy, reflecting a complex of material
and non-material resources of the region, conditions affecting the amount of invested funds,
the effective use of which contributes to the regional socio-economic development.
The main trends of investment activity in the RS (Ya) are identified. One third of all funds
invested in the FEFD of the RF are directed to the economy of the republic. As of 2017, the
volume of investments in fixed assets exceeded 380 billion rubles, which is 39% more than the
value of 2016. Half of the investments in fixed assets are directed to TEA “mining”.
The conducted SWOT-analysis reflects the situation existing at the present stage of RS
(Ya) development. This analysis lets identify areas in which it will be possible to increase the
level of investment attractiveness of the republic.
On the basis of the undertaken analysis, the main directions of increasing the RS (Ya)
investment attractiveness were identified:
development of infrastructure, including transport;
establishing cooperation with representatives of overseas Asian markets;
development of the tourist complex that will contribute to the creation of the
republic’s investment image;
economic diversification of the RS (Ya) – the development of other economic
sectors in the republic.
