THE ROLE OF INVESTMENT PASSPORT IN INFORMING BUSINESSES ABOUT THE TERRITORY (AN EXAMPLE FROM THE REGIONS OF THE SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of a lack of a comprehensive source of information about the territory for investors. The possibilities of the investment passport in informing businesses about the territory are evaluated. The information requests of investors about the territory are determined on the basis of research by scientists-economists and business experts. The experience of existing investment passports in ten regions of the Siberian Federal District and the complex investment project "Yenisei Siberia" was analyzed. The list of quantitative and non-quantitative indicators of investment passports is compiled. The opportunities and weaknesses of statistical accounting in informing investors about the territory are shown. It is noted that in the regional statistics there are no indicators for the sections: natural resources, energy infrastructure, foreign economic activity, and existing investment projects and proposals. The article defines the composition of indicators of information about the territory that are necessary for the business community to make managerial decisions regarding the activities in the territory. It is proposed to include these indicators in the system of integrated reporting of the territory as a comprehensive source of information for different categories of users. Information for investors is classified by the territory's capitals: human, socio-infrastructural, natural, production and financial. The allocation of the territory's capitals is based on the International Fundamentals of Integrated Reporting. Reliable multifaceted information about the territory as part of integrated reporting will allow for long-term relations with investors.
