SUMMARY: THIS REPORT PROVIDES BRIEF INFORMATION ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION, INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE, BUSINESS CLIMATE AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES IN PERM REGION.   THE REPORT IS BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PERM OBLAST GOVERNMENT DURING YEKATERINBURG BISNIS REPRESENTATIVE'S VISIT TO PERM.

 

GENERAL SURVEY

----------------------------------

 

1.  PERM OBLAST ( AN OBLAST IS AN EQUIVALENT OF THE U.S. STATE) IS LOCATED ON THE BORDERLINE BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA.  IT IS SITUATED ON THE KAMA RIVER, ONE OF THE LARGEST NAVIGABLE RIVERS IN RUSSIA.  THE KAMA PROVIDES ACCESS FROM PERM TO FIVE SEAS - THE AZOV, THE WHITE, THE BALTIC, THE CASPIAN AND THE BLACK SEA - THROUGH A NETWORK OF CHANNELS.  PERM OBLAST HAS AN AREA OF 160.6 THOUSAND SQUARE KILOMETERS WITH THE POPULATION OF OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE.  THE LARGEST CITIES IN THE OBLAST ARE PERM (POPULATION OVER 1.08 MILLION PEOPLE), BEREZNYAKY (201.8 THOUSANDPEOPLE), AND SOLIKAMSK (OVER 109 THOUSAND PEOPLE).  76 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION ARE CITY DWELLERS.   PERM RANKS IN THE TOP 20 ECONOMICALLY PROMISING REGIONS OF RUSSIA AND NUMBER FOUR IN THE URALS.

 

2.     THE CITY OF PERM IS THE CAPITAL OF THE PERM OBLAST WITH A WELL-DEVELOPED INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE.  LOCATED 1,100 KILOMETERS FROM MOSCOW, IT TAKES A SHORT HOUR AND A HALF TO TRAVEL BETWEEN PERM AND THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL.

 

 

THE NETWORK OF ROADS IS ALSO WELL DEVELOPED IN THE OBLAST.  OVER 12,000 000 TONS OF GOODS ARE DELIVERED DAILY BY TRUCKS.  THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LINK IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF GOODS BETWEEN PERM AND BORDERING OBLASTS. 

 

5.   PERM IS A LARGE RIVER PORT WITH OVER 1.1 THOUSAND KILOMETERS OF RIVER CHANNELS.   THE WATER TRANSPORT SYSTEMT SERVES 21 DISTRICTS IN THE OBLAST.  OVER 6,000 000 TONS OF CARGO AND 900,000 PASSENGERS ARE DELIVERED ANNUALLY BY WATER WAYS. 

 

PERM OBLAST IS LOCATED AT THE CROSSROADS OF AIR TRAFFIC AS WELL, AND IS ONLY 1.5 HOURS FLIGHT FROM MOSCOW.   THERE ARE TWO AIRPORTS THAT SERVE THE OBLAST’S NEEDS.  ‘BOLSHOYE SAVINO’ AIRPORT CONNECTS PERM OBLAST WITH OVER 60 CITIES IN RUSSIA, AS WELL AS WITH SOME FOREIGN COUNTRIES.   LUFTHANSA AIRLINES PROVIDES FLIGHTS THREE TIMES A WEEK TO FRANKFURT WHICH GIVEN ITS HUB STATUS, PROVIDES EASY ACCESS TO ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. 

 

 

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

-----------------------------------

 

6.  PERM OBLAST IS SERVED BY MODERN TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES.  URALSVYAZINFORM, JSC IS THE LARGEST TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER IN THE WEST URALS.  THE TELEPHONE DENSITY IN PERM OBLAST IS 43 PERCENT WHICH IS STILL VERY LOW AND DOES NOT MEET DEMAND. THIS NEED PRESENTS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES INTERESTD IN DEVELOPING THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK IN THE OBLAST. THIS SECTOR IN THE PERM OBLAST WILL BE PARTICULARLY PROMISING OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

 

7.  A NEW ALCATEL 1000S-12 DIGITAL STATION HAS BEEN OPERATING IN THE REGION SINCE 1995.  THE NMT 450, AS WELL AS DAMPS 800 AND GSM-900 STANDARDS HAVE A WELL DM EVELOPED NETWORK OF STATIONS ALL OVER THE OBLAST’S TERRITORY WHICH PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE FARTHEST SETTLEMENTS OF PERM OBLAST.  

 

LEADING INDUSTRY SECTORS AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.  THE OBLAST’S SOVIET ERA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WAS DETERMINED BY ITS NATURAL RESOURCES AND HAS RECENTLY BECOME VERY DIVERSIFIED.   PERM MANUFACTURES 30 PERCENT OF RUSSIA'S MINERAL FERTILIZERS, 20 PERCENT OF PULP AND PAPER AND MOST OF ITS TELEPHONES.  PERM OBLAST IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE LEADER IN RUSSIA IN CHEMICALS AND PARTICULARLY OIL INDUSTRY RELATED CHEMICALS MANUFACTURING, MACHINE BUILDING, MINING, AND OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION.  BEREZNYAKY TITAN-MANGANESE PLANT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD AND THE ONLY PLANT IN RUSSIA WHICH MANUFACTURES MAGNESIUM ALLOYS.  MANY OF THE INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES IN PERM OBLAST WERE PRIVATIZED IN THE LAST DECADE. THE MAJOR INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT FOR THE REGION IS CONCENTRATED IN FOUR LEADING SECTORS: ELECTRIC POWER  (18.9 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL VOLUME), THE CHEMICALS INDUSTRY (18.8 PERCENT), FUEL (16.5 PERCENT) AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (14 PERCENT).  FORESTRY USUALLY COMPRISES A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE OBLAST’S INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT, THOUGH OUTPUT FELL IN 1998.   IT COMPRISES ONLY SIX PERCENT OF THE TOTAL INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT AT THE END 1999.

 

 9. FORMER MILITARY ENTERPRISES HAVE BEEN PRIVATIZED AND ARE RESTRUCTURING THEIR FACILITIES TO MANUFACTURE MARKET COMPETITIVE CONSUMER PRODUCTS.  CURRENTLY SOME OF THESE ENTERPRISES ARE OPERATING IN THE MARKET SUCCESSFULLY. ‘MOTOVILIKHINSKIYE ZAVODY’, THE LARGEST MACHINE BUILDING PLANT, MANUFACTURES CONSUMER GOODS, AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES AND MACHINE-BUILDING EQUIPMENT FOR LOCAL ENTERPRISES AND OIL AND GAS SECTOR.

 

10.  FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES ARE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY AFTER THE 1998 FINANCIAL CRISIS.  THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION CONSIDER IMPORTED FOOD PRODUCTS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE RUBLE DEVALUATION.  THE 1998 FINANCIAL CRISIS HAS BECOME A GOOD IMPETUS FOR LOCAL MANUFACTURING OF FOOD AND LIGHT INDUSTRY.   CURRENTLY MANY ENTERPRISES ARE SEEKING INVESTORS TO UPGRADE THEIR TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE LOCAL MARKET. 

 

11.  PERM OBLAST IS CONSIDERED TO BE A TERRITORY WITH LIMITED AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL.  THE OBLAST PROVIDES ITSELF WITH RYE, PARTIALLY PROVIDES ITSELF WITH VEGETABLES AND WHEAT.  OTHER GRAIN CULTURES ARE CULTIVATED MAINLY FOR ANIMAL BREEDING. 

 

12.  THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN 1998 WAS 5 PERCENT LESS THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.  POULTRY PRODUCTION SHOWED A STEADY TWO PERCENT GROWTH. 

 

13.  PERM OBLAST IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY FOR GREAT NUMBER OF SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH CENTERS AS WELL AS INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING.   THE WORKFORCE IS INEXPENSIVE BY WORLD STANDARDS AND WELL EDUCATED

 

BANKING

-------------

 

14.  THERE ARE 35 BANKS OPERATING IN PERM OBLAST.  20 OF THEM ARE BRANCH OFFICES OF MOSCOW BANKS.  LOCAL BANK OFFICIALS STATE THAT IT TAKES 1-2 DAYS TO TRANSFER MONEY TO EUROPE OR TO THE U.S. FROM PERM.  THE SUBSIDIARIES OF MOSCOW BANKS HAVE ESTABLISHED GOOD CORRESPONDENT BANKING RELATIONS WITH EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN BANKS. BOTH LOCAL BANKS AND SUBSIDIARIES OF MOSCOW BANKS ACCEPT VISA, MASTERCARD AND EUROCARD.

 

15.    MOST OF BANKS IN PERM OBLAST HAVE RESUMED GIVING LOANS TO SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES AT TYPICALLY HIGH INTEREST RATES IN 1999.  THE EUROPEAN BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT (EBRD) AND GIMV/CORPEQ URALS VENTURE FUND ALSO OPERATE IN PERM PROVIDING CREDITS TO VARIOUS BUSINESSES.  THE EBRD HAS GRANTED A LOAN TO THE U.S.-RUSSIAN JOINT VENTURE ‘PERMTEX’ IN THE AMOUNT OF USD 45 MILLION.  VADIM KONSTANTINOV, REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE RUSSIAN-AMERICAN INVESTMENT FUND (TUSRIF) ANNOUNCED THAT FUND WILL START GRANTING CREDITS TO PERM BUSINESSES IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2000.

 

A BANKING UNION WAS REGISTERED IN PERM IN 1999.  THE AIM OF THE UNION IS TO PROVIDE LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT TO LOCAL BANKS AND TO PROMULGATE THEIR INTERESTS ON BOTH THE REGIONAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS.  CURRENTLY THE BANKING UNION IS DEVELOPING A STRATEGY FOR ITS MEMBERS TO SET UP A UNIFIED INTER-CONNECTED NETWORK OF PLASTIC CARDS IN PERM OBLAST. 

 

FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND TRADE

----------------------------------------------------

 

16.  OVER 300 FOREIGN ENTERPRISES ARE REGISTERED IN PERM OBLAST AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT IS USD 276.9 MILLION.  OVER 50 PERCENT OF FOREIGN COMPANIES ARE MANUFACTURERS, 30 PERCENT ARE TRADING COMPANIES AND 10 PERCENT ARE INVOLVED IN THE TOURISM, AUTOMOBILE AND TRANSPORTATION SECTORS. 

 

16.    IN 1998 THE FOREIGN TRADE TURNOVER FOR PERM OBLAST WAS VALUED AT USD1.5 MILLION WITH 1.2 MILLION IN EXPORTS AND USD302 MILLION IN IMPORTS.  STATISTICS PROVIDED BY PERM OBLAST'S FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE SHOWS THAT THE MAJOR IMPORTS TO PERM IN THE FIRST QUARTER 1999 WERE MACHINE-BUILDING EQUIPMENT-47 PERCENT, CHEMICALS-15 PERCENT, FOODSTUFFS-6 PERCENT. EXPORTS HAVE REMAINED STABLE ENOUGH EVEN DESPITE THE 1998 FINANCIAL CRISIS.  PERM EXPORTS 55 PERCENT OF RUSSIA'S METHANOL AND CEMENT, 31 PERCENT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS AND ABOUT 30 PERCENT OF MINERAL FERTILIZERS.  PERM HOLDS 15 PERCENT OF THE POTASSIUM SALTS IN THE WORLD MARKET, EXPORTING 98 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL RUSSIAN EXPORTS.   EUROPEAN GOODS REPRESENT 70 PERCENT OF ALL IMPORTED GOODS IN THE PERM OBLAST.

 

18.  THE TRADE TURNOVER WITH THE U.S. WAS USD 87. 9 THOUSAND-  SIX PERCENT OF THE TOTAL TRADE TURNOVER OF PERM OBLAST.  DESPITE THE FINANCIAL CRISIS OF 1998, TRADE TURNOVER WITH THE U.S. SHOWED AN EIGHT PERCENT GROWTH BY THE END OF 1998 IN COMPARISON WITH THE SAME PERIOD OF 1997. 

 

19.  THE SITUATION WITH THE U.S. IMPORTS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF 1999.  TRADE TURNOVER WITH THE U.S. FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 1999 DECREASED 65 PERCENT IN COMPARISON WITH THE SAME PERIOD OF 1998.   TRADE TURNOVER WITH OTHER COUNTRIES DECREASED ONLY 28 PERCENT.

 

20.  BELOW IS A TABLE WHICH PRESENTS PERCENTAGE OF IMPORTS OF THE OVERALL U.S. IMPORTS IN PERM OBLAST FOR 1998 AND THE FIRST QUARTER 1999.

CHEMICAL PRODUCTS	15 PERCENT	43 PERCENT
CONSUMER GOODS AND RAW MATERIALS FOR THEIR MANUFACTURING	6 PERCENT	LESS THAN 1 PERCENT

STEPS TO ATTRACT FOREIGN INVESTMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------

(THIS SECTION PROVIDES EXTRACTS OF THE INVESTMENT LAW OF PERM OBLAST WHICH WAS PREPARED BY FCS YEKATERINBURG AND KINDLY GIVEN TO BISNIS YEKATERINBURG FOR PUBLICATION). 

 

21.  PERM OBLAST WAS THE FIRST CONSTITUENT MEMBER OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO SIGN CREDIT AND TRADE AGREEMENT FOR OVERALL CREDITS WORTH 680 MILLION DM.   THE JSC 'URALSVYAZINFORM' RECEIVED GERMAN EQUIPMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF DM 20 MILLION IN 1996-1997 AS PART OF THE GRANTED CREDIT.  

 

22.  THE LAW ON FOREIGN INVESTMENTS WAS PASSED ON AUGUST 21, 1997.  THE LAW STIPULATES PROTECTION AND GUARANTEES FOR INVESTMENT IN GENERAL TERMS.  AN INVESTOR MAY RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM THE OBLAST GOVERNMENT IF THE INVESTMENT .  PROJECT IS IN LINE WITH THE OBLAST SO-CALLED “TARGETED PROGRAMS.” 

23.  ACCORDING TO THE OBLAST LAW ON INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT, PASSED IN OCTOBER 1997, INVESTORS MAY RECEIVE PRIVILEGES IN THE FORM OF TAX CREDITS, AS WELL AS DEFERRED AND REDUCED TAX RATES.  PRIVILEGES, WHICH ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THE INVESTMENT LAW, CAN BE ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED TO FOREIGN INVESTORS, STRUCTURES WITH FOREIGN PARTICIPATION AND RECEIPIENTS OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT AS WELL. 

 

24.  FOREIGN INVESTORS MAY INVEST IN ANY ENTITY EXCEPT THOSE BANNED BY ACTING LEGISLATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND PERM OBLAST. 

 

25.  TAX CREDITS ARE GIVEN TO FOREIGN INVESTORS WHO OPEN A NEW PRODUCTION LINE, PROVIDE EQUIPMENT FOR LEASING AND EXPORT HI-TECH PRODUCTS FOR A PERIOD UP TO THREE YEARS.  THE VOLUME OF TAX CREDITS SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE VOLUME OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT.  THE TAX CREDIT IS GRANTED AFTER THE FINANCIAL BODIES: THE STATE TAX INSPECTION AND A TAXPAYER SIGN AN AGREEMENT.  OFFICIAL EXPERTS SHOULD APPROVE A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND A BUSINESS PLAN. 

 

26.  DUE TO THE 1998 FINANCIAL CRISIS AND DEVALUATION OF THE RUBLE, THERE HAS BEEN A SHARP DECREASE IN IMPORT OF ALL TYPES OF GOODS.  CURRENTLY, RUSSIAN ENTREPRENEURS ARE EAGERLY INVESTING MONEY IN MANUFACTURING FACILITIES TO PRODUCE GOODS LOCALLY IN RUSSIA, WHICH MAKES MARKET PRICES LOWER AND MORE COMPETITIVE.  A GREAT NUMBER OF LOCAL ENTERPRISES SEEK FOR FOREIGN PARTNER TO ESTABLISH JOINT VENTURES TO MANUFACTURE GOODS LOCALLY, TO BE EXEMPT FROM HIGH CUSTOM DUTIES AND TO GET TAX ALLOWANCES FROM THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES.   

 

27.  THERE ARE A NUMBER OF JOINT VENTURES, WHICH OPERATE IN PERM OBLAST SUCCESSFULLY.  SUN GROUP, UK HAS FORMED A JOINT VENTURE WITH A LOCAL BREWING COMPANY, WHICH IS NOW ONE OF THE TOP BREWING COMPANIES IN RUSSIA.  NESTLE, SWITZERLAND, HAS INVESTED EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY IN KAMSKAYA CONFECTIONERY WHICH MADE THE FACTORY COMPETITIVE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME NOT ONLY IN PERM, BUT ALL OVER RUSSIA.

 

28.  ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT IS THE PERM MOTOR PLANT, A FORMER MILITARY ENTERPRISE.  IT HAS SET UP A JOINT VENTURE WITH PRATT AND WHITNEY COMPANY, A DEVELOPER AND MANUFACTURER OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES AND A MEMBER OF THE UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION.  CURRENTLY THEY ENGAGE IN UPGRADING AIRCRAFT PS-90A MODEL ENGINES.   PRATT AND WHITNEY HAS ALREADY INVESTED USD23 MILLION IN 1998-1999 TO UPGRADE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES TO MAKE THE PLANT COMPETITIVE IN THE WORLD MARKET AND IS SCHEDULED TO INVEST USD 5 BY THE END OF 1999.
