Problems of development of the Kemerovo region as a resource region in conditions of economic crisis

Currently, the economy of Kuzbass is in a rather difficult situation tion. And now the simultaneous effect of a number of negative factors may limit

Gates of Kuzbass in one of the most depressed in terms of the economy of the country. Currently, there are five main key issues pressing on carbon mining region, as well as a number of minor problems, but very important:

• 1)    The problem with JSC "Russian Railways", which on one hand is a consequence of the crisis, and on the other hand leads to an increase in transportation tariffs already in 2015. Kuzbass coal miners attempted to criticize this decisionтof, but the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin harshly gave his answer: last year's "zero Left tariff "not in any way affected the growth in the industry, which means that the connection between tariff increases and problems of coal miners missing. In practice, the proexpenses and the cost of these products will grow even stronger. Railways not to make concessions floodplain children.

• 2)    The conflict in the Donbass. The connection here is manifested in two ways: neighboring GUSTs with problem area leads to additional "load nstability" because of the refugees, and the growth of social tensions, etc. But much more important export factor Donbass coal sold in Russia by openly bargain prices. Sellers 522 Facial DNI management and LC can understand: they urgently need money, which explains the gowillingness to dump and to go to any conditions. But the scale of this trade is already such that the Kuzbass coal demand loses catastrophically fast.

• 3)    The fall in oil prices. In principle, there remains the chance that the oil sharply and more expensive (although the probability of this is almost a zero value), without giving ruhand pull the gas prices. But the current situation is no longer look as coal deshehowling alternative, for example, the same fuel oil. And the demand for coal is objectively reduced while increasing its cost.

• 4)    The financial crisis and the crisis of the banking sector hit hard in Kuzbass: Firstly, it is already a ban on credit operations is received in the proportional rated

against a very large number of players; and, secondly, understanding besperspektiv of the region's own banks tighten lending conditions (and increase the percentage of failures) due to elevated regional risks. For example, only in the last few Days lost the right to work with a local loan company "Home Finance", "Insight" and "Kuzbassfinansgrupp".

The percentage of unprofitable mines is 70%. With the growth of tariffs for railway transportation and a fall in demand for coal, this figure will grow. Federal and local budgets are experiencing enormous difficulties in order to increase the volume of financing tion of subsidized projects. The conclusion can only one: the shaft must be prokryvat for the sake of others, even though the rest will be reductions in proemployment and possibly pay.

But the worst thing for the other miners when rising inflation and the ruble falls, they are already precisely nobody will be properly indexed salary. And This occurs children in the background of the reduction of the premium fund, ie drop in revenue will be like in the real, and nominal terms.

A partial solution to the issue of unemployment will be the secondment of experts the restoration of Donbass facilities under the program of humanitarian aid from Russia. This program provides special items and your budget as well that the region will be able to "dump ballast" as a necessary cost to his houlders.

The scope of this "humanitarian secondment" will primarily depend on from employment problems for Kuzbass: such a mission does not contradict international national norms, is purely civilian character and decides to Russia at the same Menno few questions. But to restore the territories can now Donbass to infinity - the region will absorb any amount of labor costs.

But to agree to such an option would be to move immediately predlagatsya vacant housing in Lugansk and Donetsk, as well as paid from the Russian Budget potential jobs for family members, also chosen relocation. All it will at least "for a period of hard times" to unload the excess of Kuzbass labor resources.

Aman Tuleyev told what provisions have Kuzbass for the socio-economic nomic development in 2015. This is a highly qualified workforce, deep process-coal processing and investment from the public.

Interestingly, the reserve for the development of Kuzbass could be investment from the private persons'. Those who have the money is in the accounts, offered to invest in their acquisition of land, housing and other [1]

Another resource - frames. The governor of the Kemerovo region AG Tuleyev said that the production need competent economists and marketers.

They will start production of unique products and stay on the world market.

This is especially important for the coal industry.

"Due to the Kuzbass Russia is the third largest coal exporter - after the Australia Leah and Indonesia. Our leading coal companies pose the main challenge to keep the international market, and we support them, "- said the head of the Kuzbass. [2]

At the same time significantly to Kuzbass products remained konkurentnosposobnoah.

The Governor noted that now overcome the dependence on coal miners dollar. They began to settle with partners in local currency. For example, in yuan and Singapore dollar.

Thus, the main reserve of Kuzbass in crisis, apparently, should become a human resource.
