ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE REGION: MUNICIPAL LEVEL
The paper analyzes the absolute and relative indicators of foreign investment dynamics in 2009–2013 and the structure of foreign investments by type. The main investor countries and their economic activities in Primorsky Region have also been singled out. To measure the regional differentiation, the author uses the three indicators available in the municipal statistical base: the volume of investment, the volume of investment per capita, and the number of businesses with the participation of foreign capital. Cluster analysis of the integral figures of the level and dynamics of investment indicators made it possible to reveal the territorial inequality of the Region’s municipalities which were divided into four clusters: municipalities with high, medium, low, and very low potential. The author gives an outline of the municipalities and determines the investment potential of the municipalities belonging to each cluster in the light of the laws «On territories of advanced social and economic development in the Russian Federation» and «On the free port of Vladivostok».
