In the new economy there was a place to pigs

Administration of the Chelyabinsk region is trying to get away from the narrow specialization of the region's iron and steel, metallurgy and investing in agricultural business.

stagnation in the domestic steel industry is of growing concern in the Russian regions with a high concentration of iron and steel industries. it already has the character of a sustainable trend and leads to a marked reduction in the revenue part of the regional budgets . Keep the total budget revenues in significant positive territory among the traditional " steel " yet managed to regions except that the Chelyabinsk region . It helps rapidly developing under the Governor Mikhail Yurevich "new economy ." Revenues of the consolidated budget of the region in January- July 2013 amounted to 63.8 billion rubles. Actually Regional - 44.9 billion rubles. This is 7% more than the same period last year. For comparison, the budget revenues neighboring Sverdlovsk region during the same period remained at the same level as last year ( in the first half - only +0,6%).

The current growth in the South Urals achieved by increasing the revenue from the construction industry (22% ) , production and distribution of electricity, gas and water (31 %) , mining ( 60% ) , agriculture ( 18 % ), food industry ( 6%), machinery and equipment ( 3%). Against the backdrop of stagnation in the global steel industry and the associated reduction in revenue from the enterprises concerned , it is listed industries have the same " safety cushion" , which previously lacked the region .

significant that the policy to diversify the economy have supported and even took up the South Urals metallurgists themselves . For example , the owner of the Chelyabinsk electro plant ( CEMP ), known in the region businessman Alexander Aristov has been actively investing in the production of Ferro- earned money in the agro-industrial holding " Ariant" . And just as the governor Jurevicha sometimes try to blame the lack of attention to metallurgists Aristova regularly and quite seriously blamed what he jets to deliver in the Chelyabinsk region of elite Canadian pigs - instead of having to spend the money on ecological modernization CHEMK , located almost in the center of Chelyabinsk .

Periodically sounding to the adherents of the "new economy" charges - a consequence of quite understandable fears. However, new industries develop not instead of, but in conjunction with traditional, balanced in a single system - as evidenced by including sustainable, proportionate increase in budgetary performance .
