The free economic zone (FEZ) regime has been expanded to cover the entire territories of Belgorod, Briyansk, and Kursk regions.
The decision was made by the Russian government and signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The expansion applies to all districts of the three regions without exception.
Investors in processing industries and agriculture, including feed production, mineral fertilizers, paper, and cellulose, can benefit from preferential tax regimes.
The initiative was prompted by a presidential directive from Vladimir Putin.
The goal is to stimulate economic development, attract investment, and create new jobs in border regions.

The FEZ was initially established in the region in autumn 2024 and previously applied only to specific territories within Belgorod Oblast. — tg_belregion_ru
