PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN DEVELOPMENT OF REFERENCE ZONES IN THE ARCTIC ZONE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION CONFEDERATIONS
The Arctic is one of Russia's priority areas of development. In August 2017, a new edition of the Russian state program for the socio-economic development of the Arctic and further development of its territory was approved. At the moment, this is the main document concerning the development of the economy of the Arctic territories of our country. The main idea of this document and the future law "on the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation" is to form reference zones for regional development, which are full-fledged complex projects implemented for the purpose of socio-economic development and development of the Arctic spaces. The key base for the projects planned in the state program will be modern mineral resource centers that are linked together by a single transport infrastructure of both Federal and regional significance. In the Central part of the Arctic zone of Russia is the Northern sea route, which serves as a maritime highway that connects the entire Arctic. According to the state program, one of the main tools for the development of the Arctic will be public-private partnership. This article contains the main plans for the development of the Arctic and possible public-private partnership tools to be implemented in this region.
