In the context of increased competition in the global markets for mineral and energy resources, as well as sanctions, the Russian mining industry is facing a number of challenges. One of the key ones is the need to mobilize investment resources to launch high-tech import substitution projects in the industry. Another challenge is the need to form new centers of integrated development in Siberia, the Far East and the Arctic. It is in these regions that significant reserves of natural resources are concentrated, the development of which has been prioritized by the state.
Experts talk about the need to develop mechanisms to support the mining industry, and this is not only about investments, but also about ranking purchases by large holdings in favor of Russian manufacturers, responding to the expansion of “friendly” China, and resolving issues related to the shortage of qualified personnel. Moreover, today it is necessary to extend the chains of added value creation within the country (Russia must reduce its dependence on raw material exports and ensure the production of products with high added value).
These other issues will be discussed by experts at an extended joint meeting of the Supreme Mining Council – the Supervisory Board of the Association of Miners of Russia and the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation on energy strategy and development of the fuel and energy complex. The event on the topic: “On increasing the efficiency of the mineral resource complex based on the implementation of measures for the technological independence of the Russian Federation” will be held on November 29-30 in Moscow, in the Congress Center of the CCI of the Russian Federation (Ilyinka, 6/1).
