The article examines the current state of regional budgets in the Russian Far Eastern macroregion. The regional per capita budget expenditures lag far behind the country’s average values, that makes regions unable to overcome the existing gap in social development, infrastructural provision of the territory and to improve the quality of life. The article considers possibilities of increasing the regional budget revenues from existing major revenue sources such as tax capacity, intergovernmental transfers (equalization grants) and borrowing. It is argued that in the short term the level of regional budget expenditures may best be increased by grants, in the long term the major potential for sustainable increase in budget income is associated with expansion of economic activity and rise of factor productivity

Exemplified by regions of the Russian Far East, the article presents a view on the current state and problems of managing regional public expenditures, including the focus of public expenditure on regional development. The research is based on the data from expenditure commitments registries in 2019. A major share of budget expenditures is “compulsory” (pre-determined) expenditures, which have limited flexibility and cannot be redirected to different purposes. Under these circumstances, the ability of regional governments to vary the direction of budget spending and finance self-initiated expenditure commitments—in other words, to independently manage the composition of expenditures—is kept to a minimum, which implies low autonomy in managing expenditures. Most of the Russian Far Eastern regions’ government expenditures are aimed at supporting the current volume and quality of public services. The share of developmental expenditures is higher in regions having more budget resources (Sakhalin Oblast), and significantly lower in regions of the northern Far East (Magadan Oblast, Kamchatka Krai, and Sakha Republic (Yakutia)), the latter having higher costs of supporting critical infrastructure under severe climate conditions. In the present situation, regional governments cannot be fully considered as key influencers managing the development of their territories, and only fill the role of executors and lobbying actors for acquiring financial support from the federal government. As a result, it is difficult to account for specific territorial circumstances and development potential, and the overall efficiency of government spending is decreased. In the authors’ opinion, the findings may be applicable to most regions in the Russian Federation.

ntroduction. The socio-economic development of the Russian Far East is one of the most important strategic directions of Russia, corresponding to the national interests and development vector. For this vector to be transmitted to the regional and sectoral level, it needs strategic opportunities, relevant in the context of multiple trends and limited resource base. Energy security includes reliable energy consumption and efficiency. It ensures the socio-economic progress of developing economies and emerging-market countries. The Russian Far East has accumulated enough scientific, technical, industrial, and production potential to use gas industry as a long-term driver of socio-economic development. The research objective was to analyze and systematize the main interest groups focused on the development of gas industry in the Russian Far East. Study objects and methods. The study was based on the theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint, as well as on authentic methods of industrial strategizing. Results and discussion. The article introduces a concept scheme that illustrates the relationship between regional and sectoral gas strategies of the Russian Far East, as well as their place in the general system of strategies. The author systematized the main national, social, regional, industrial, corporate, and international interests. The analysis confirmed the long-term interest of the gas industry in the Far Eastern Federal District at each of these levels. Conclusion. In the Russian Far East, gas industry will establish strong vertical and horizontal relationships in the system of strategies, thus producing a multiplicative effect on the socio-economic development of the whole Far Eastern Federal District and its regions.

In the long term, the regions of the Russian Far East traded more intensively with the domestic market than with foreign countries. The low values of trade intensity the Russian Far Eastern regions with NEA countries was compensated by low transport costs. This circumstance determined the export orientation of the Russian Far East in favor of nearby large foreign markets.

Перспективы социально-экономического развития субъектов Дальневосточного федерального округа (ДФО) связаны с решением ряда проблем, одной из которых является необходимость перехода от преимущественно добывающей («сырьевой») экономики, к обрабатывающей, выпускающей продукцию с высокой долей добавленной стоимости. Для этих целей была разработана и недавно утверждена Национальная Программа развития Дальнего Востока России. Помимо решения социально-экономических проблем, Программа призвана решать и вопросы национальной безопасности, за счет обеспечения устойчивого развития государства, а также субъектов ДФО на долгосрочную перспективу. При этом, отмечается, что экономический рост необходимо обеспечивать, прежде всего, путем развития инновационной системы, модернизации приоритетных видов экономической деятельности и совершенствования межбюджетных отношений. The prospects of socio-economic development of the Far Eastern Federal district (FEFD) are connected with the solution of several problems, one of which is the necessity of transition from a predominantly extractive ("raw") economy and manufacturing, which produces products with high added value. For these purposes, the National Program for the Development of the Russian Far East was developed and recently approved. In addition to solving socio-economic problems, the Program is designed to solve national security issues by ensuring the sustainable development of the state, as well as the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District for the long term. At the same time, it is noted that economic growth should be ensured primarily through the development of the innovation system, modernization of priority economic activities, and improvement of inter-budgetary relations.

Object of research: resource potential, coastal and industrial fishing in the Primorye subzone. The purpose of the work is to assess the state of stock and fishing in the Primorye subzone. Result: According to long-term averaged data (2000-2018), more than 200 thousand tons of aquatic biological resources are undercought annually in the Primorye subzone. Today, the coast of the Primorye subzone is the most populated and infrastructural developed in the Russian Far East. The paper analyzes the state of living resources and fisheries. The reason for the low development is mainly the imperfection of management, as a result of which coastal fishing does not receive proper attention and development.

The subject of the research is the process of transportation by rail in the Russian Far East. The purpose of the work is to consider: the limitation of the throughput of the Eastern range of railways and the prospects for the development of the Trans-Siberian and Baikal-Amur Mainlines infrastructure. The growth in the volume of export flows of coal towards Asian countries led to a lack of carrying capacity of the railways. The quotas for the transported cargo since 2020 are actually discriminating against companies when accessing the railway infrastructure. The development of railways in the Far East lags behind the planned dates and does not correspond to the promising parameters for the development of maritime transport
