MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OF THE ASIAN PART OF RUSSIA: STATE, PROSPECTS

Abstract

The article discusses the state and trends in the development of mechanical engineering in the Asian part of the Russian Federation. Under the Asian part of Russia in the article is meant a set of subjects of the federation of the Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts, as well as the Tyumen region. Mechanical engineering is presented in the article by three types of economic activity, corresponding to the positions in the tables of the statistical collection «Regions of Russia: socio-economic indicators». The analysis of the state of machine-building activities was carried out according to the data of collections for 2006-2021, and the prospects for their development were determined by the texts of the state strategic planning documents in force at the time of writing. The results of the analysis showed that the Asian part of Russia is characterized by an outpacing of the rates of output of machine-building products in comparison with the average for the Russian Federation. The periods of ups and downs for the AChR and the Russian Federation as a whole are almost identical — any specificity of the AChR in this matter is not observed. We note only serious differences in the trends of the indicator for the last three years of the period under review — 2018-2020. An analysis of regional strategies revealed a commonality of intentions and opportunities for the development of mechanical engineering in the Asian part of Russia, especially in terms of investment support for achieving strategic goals. The article presents three possible scenarios for the development of mechanical engineering in the Asian part of Russia.
