Methodological possibilities for assessing the investment potential of the Russian regions under economic uncertainty

The complex uncertain economic conditions developing in a multi-layered regional space have created a number of obstacles to realizing the investment potential of the regions of the Russian Federation. These problems are superimposed on the significant socio-economic differentiation of the territories, which actualizes the need to find and implement new analytical tools capable of diagnosing investment opportunities and priorities in the implementation of investment decisions in the region. The prevailing economic conditions and uncertainty trends have led to a research interest formulated in the form of a goal related to the analysis and specification of key methodological tools and algorithms that allow the regional management system to effectively assess investment positions and priorities in a complex economic space, as well as to assess the investment potential, on the realization of which the productivity and viability of the entire national system depend. The scientific novelty of the research lies in monitoring the most relevant methods and approaches to assessing the implementation of the investment potential of the region, which, in conditions of economic uncertainty, contain various sources and databases accumulating heterogeneous parameters and indicators. The paper concludes that building complex methodologies and tools on such a complex structured basis allows taking into account the multidirectional, multilevel nature of modern regional investment processes. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research consists of works in the field of analysis and evaluation of investment processes. In the course of the work, methods of structural and logical analysis of sources and databases reflecting key parameters and metrics of the investment development of the region were applied. The analysis results made it possible to identify significant approaches and techniques that help assess regional investment processes in conditions of economic uncertainty. The results of the conducted research are of interest to federal and regional relevant agencies in terms of developing an investment strategy, forming the main provisions of economic policy and determining priorities in investment development.
