Features of the formation of the investment potential of the region

Attracting investments into the economy of the country and its regions is an important task aimed at ensuring socio-economic development. The deterioration of the economic situation in Russia over the past few years has led to a decline in investment activity. Since private investments still prevail in the structure of investments in fixed assets, increasing the investment attractiveness of both the country as a whole and its individual regions plays an important role. In the course of the study, an assessment of the investment potential of the Kursk region is carried out, the existing features and their causes are identified. It has been established that the physical volume of investments in the Kursk region does not show stable dynamics for growth: in 2020 and 2022, the physical volume of investments decreased by more than 11%, which is a consequence of the intensification of crisis phenomena in the economy against the background of the pandemic and sanctions, respectively. The structure of investments in fixed assets of the region is dominated by private investments and property of state corporations, which together account for more than 80% of the total. The current state of investment activity in the Kursk region generally corresponds to all-Russian trends, and the deterioration of the economic situation in the last few years has not had a significant negative impact on the investment potential of the region.
