Dear readers: Here is a new issue of «Business Map of Russia» — a regional supplement to the newspaper «Ekonomika I Vremya [Economics and Time]». During the three years since the first release of this edition, «Business Map» has gained a recognition of our loyal readers and those who are acquainted with the edition via the forums, exhibitions, and conferences, where it is also distributed on a regular basis. Recently, this project was bestowed a highest public award — on March 25, 2010, the Chamber of Commerce of Russia and the Russian Union of Journalists proclaimed the «Business Map» the best regional edition of the country at the contest «The Economic Revival of Russia». When we started this project, the economic weather was favourable to business, and we were pleased to observe a trend of economic growth. Then the recession in many industries came, and we had to reflect the stages of decline. This is natural for an edition, based on an objective analysis of the situation over extensive statistical data. Today the economy is starting to recover from recession, and in the next issue of «Business Map of Russia», devoted to St.Petersburg, a lot of data is given, witnessing this trend. But the problem of choosing the road for further development still is topical for our country that has been focused on their raw material wealth for too many years. In this sense, the example of St.Petersburg that traditionally remains a national fashion-maker in many spheres of life, is very important for Russia. The city is striving to gain a leading position in the modern sectors of economy and to become competitive on world markets, using its scientific and industrial potential. It is not about a separate companies: the goal is to put the entire megalopolis among the cities most liveable and favourable for business in the world. And this task of great complexity might be the idea uniting all Petersburgers.

And this task of great complexity might be the idea uniting all Petersburgers. The global recession and its impact raised the question about the goals of the economic development once again, and very pointedly too. The economic model that considers the people as auxiliary material in the business plans, with the entrepreneurs and the state relaying their problems to the population, will always be doomed to instability. This issue will be distributed among the participants of St.Petersburg International Economic Forum. Largely thanks to the forums, our city became a ground of heated debates and important forecasts concerning the global economy. We hope that this forum will also demonstrate it, and reading will give food for serious estimations and conclusions of those who are willing to cooperate with St.Petersburg and Russia. We are grateful to the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of St.Petersburg, our partner in producing this issue. Hopefully, the Business Map will be helpful for you.

«If an investor wants to do business in Russia, it is better to start in St.Petersburg» In mid-2010, the economy of St.Petersburg with more and more confidence shows the signs of moving forward, which indicate that the difficulties caused by the global recession are overcome. The city withstood its pressure due to the measures taken by the government and business in due time. Now, there is every reason to go back to stable development, says Governor Valentina Matvienko.

Today, the economic recession is on the wane in St.Petersburg, and, looking back, we can say to ourselves that all steps we have taken were right ones. And the life was more optimistic than the most pessimistic scenarios — Which is the impact of the recession on the living standards of Petersburgers? What measures managed to keep the political stability and social optimism of the citizens? — The global economic recession, of course, did not left our city sside and touched virtually all sectors of industry and municipal economy. But it can be said that Petersburg sustained the recession with greater ease than other regions of the Russian Federation. This happened for two reasons. First, over the previous years, we have accumulated the rich potential of economic and social development that has become a kind of safety cushion. Second, the government of the city took the anti-crisis measures in due time, which helped minimize the impact of the recession and stabilize the situation. Today the recession is on the wane, and, looking back, we can say to ourselves that all the steps we have taken were right ones. And life was even more optimistic than the most pessimistic scenarios. This is evidenced by the dynamics of industry, small- and medium-scale businesses. This is confirmed by increasing tax payments to the city budget, including personal income taxes and property taxes. Alignment of the situation and even moving forward are confirmed by the growth of energy consumption. Last year we had to adjust the budget, giving up some plans and projects. That said, the city had discharged and continues to discharge its social obligations. Today, the increasing incomes of the city allowed us to recalculate the budget anew, toward the less strain. Actually, we got the budget that we had in our «fat» years — in 2007. Most importantly, the budget of 2010 provided extra assignments for the housing for veterans, the development of housing and communal services, health care and education.

People In particular, we are completing the second stage of starting complex of cancer hospital in Pesochnaya, and finishing the repair of the children’s hospital named after Rauchfuss The city requirements are growing. The financial group of the city government is facing a clear objective: to find new, additional opportunities to replenish the treasury. — What is the role the 14th International Economic Forum plays to improve the investment attractiveness of Russia and St.Petersburg?. — I have said it more than once: if an investor wants to start their business in Russia, it is better to start in St.Petersburg. And holding such large-scale international events as the St.Petersburg Economic Forum, of course, increases the confidence of foreign investors to our city and our country. I have said it more than once: if an investor wants to start their business in Russia, it is better to start in St.Petersburg. And holding such large-scale international events as the St.Petersburg Economic Forum, of course, increases the confidence of foreign investors to our city and our country. In addition, in the days of the forum, many cities make presentations of their projects and opportunities. Thus, they are able to directly demonstrate the capabilities of their regions.
four companies are the heart of St.Petersburg automobile cluster — a completely new industry for St.Petersburg. The next step is creation of other promising clusters, designed to become the locomotives of the St.Petersburg industry. Electronics manufacturing will be dealt by a high-tech cluster. This year we have opened a factory on the joint production of computers, Foxconn and Hewlett-Packard, which will be the basis of electronic cluster. We are also creating a cluster of the furnituremaking industry, and the domestic companies are ready to invest into its development. A pharmaceutical cluster that would produce the newest medications much demanded in the country and the city has great prospects too. I would add that we continue to build a sea passenger terminal and major transport projects with the private investment involved. By the end of 2010, the investor will be determined to continue construction of the Western High Speed Diameter on terms of public-private partnership — a modern highway that will provide a reliable communication link between the north and south of the city. Its first section, already built, has already helped to bring goods from the port to the federal highway, bypassing the historical city center Traditionally, by the days of the Economic Forum a pavilion of St.Petersburg will be deployed at the exhibition complex «LenExpo», which will provide all the information about the life of the city, its needs and opportunities, the development of all sectors of the economy. The forum participants will be able to get firsthand information about the projects that we are going to implement with our partners before all.
— Which measures are taken by the authorities of the city to build in St.Petersburg comfortable business environment, to attract Russian and foreign investors? St.Petersburg is known for a very favourable investment climate. This is not just my opinion — it is the estimaion of the reputable international rating agencies. We are doing everything to ensure that the investors who came to our city — One of the themes, which is currently would have all working conditions. It is not by being discussed in Russia at the highest level, is modernization. What are investing in this chance that many world-famous companies concept the authorities of Petersburg? choose St.Petersburg as a site for their business St.Petersburg has a number of competitive — Our city is a largest industrial center of advantages. It is the largest port on the Baltic Sea, Russia. Our industry contributes a quarter the intersection of maritime and aerial routes of the gross regional product, and employs a and railways, connecting Russia and Europe. third of the economically proactive population Petersburg initially had considerable technical, of the city. We realize that the modernization educational, and scientific potential. But the of the industry, bringing it into innovative investors are choosing our city not only for rails reciprocates the fundamental interests of those reasons, but also because we have created St.Petersburg and Petersburgers. We are implementing a program of a comprehensible, transparent, and equal for all «rules of the game» that remained unchanged modernization of industry in St.Petersburg, for years. There is also a stable social situation adopted, by the way, one of the first in Russia. in St.Petersburg, which is very important for Within the framework of this program, the enterprises receive financial support — subsidies investors. To avoid procrastination with the documents, we keep to the principle of «single from the city budget to pay the interest on window». And the largest strategic projects, loans granted for the purchase of technological vital for the city, are monitored in a «manual equipment. We assist in training and retraining of the personnel, in certifying the management mode». Today, we have deployed two sites of special systems as of compliance with national and economic zone of technology-innovative international standards. The program includes type, and created a technopark. Residents of the measures to promote the products of our enterprises in the Russian and foreign markets. special economic zone, a tax heaven where the preferential tax treatment is applied, are dozens Of course, we are interested in that, so to say, ceteris paribus, the St.Petersburg enterprises of companies — both domestic and foreign. Here are some figures. The volume of foreign happen to be successful bidders and holders of investment in the economy of St.Petersburg the state order more often. This guarantees the in 2009, despite all the difficulties associated full load of production capacities, employment, with the economic recession, stayed at the and tax revenues to the budget. We have concluded a cooperation agreement level of 2008 — about $5.5 billion. This makes 7% of all foreign investment in Russia. Over the with the corporation Rosnano that arrived to past year we have increased the share of direct St.Petersburg seriously and permanently. We investment in the city’s economy — up to 25% are already interacting with it by a number of of all investments. It speaks volumes about the joint investment projects to develop industries dynamic pace of development of the real sector based on nanotechnology. In the modernization of industry we stake, of the economy. Today, we have a large number of foreign among all, to small-scale business that has brands presented. This includes such world- been always distinguished by its mobility. famous companies like Bosch, Siemens, British Therefore, promising innovative production American Tobacco, Technopolis, Scania, Toyota, often originates from the business incubators Nissan, General Motors, Hyundai. The last and research centers. We have launched
17 programs to support small businesses, such as the program «Lease of fixed assets» and the program «Outsourcing». And to support the small innovative enterprises, we have established «Regional Venture Fund for Investments into Small Enterprises in Scientific and Engineering Sphere». — St.Petersburg is one of the most attractive cities in the world for the business tourism and educational tourism. Is there any the program to strengthen the opportunities of tourism and recreation in the city? — The importance of continued development of hospitality industry in St.Petersburg is due to its significant contribution to the city’s economy and the positive multiplicative effect it has on other sectors of the economy.
Largely thanks to the Economic Forum and other major international events, Petersburg not only improves its own investment attractiveness, but certainly makes the investment climate in Russia more favourable In 2005, the city government adopted a program of promotion of St.Petersburg as a tourist center. Its goal is to make our city one of the 5 biggest tourist centers of Europe, annually visited by, at a minimum, 5 million tourists. St.Petersburg has closely approached this target — 4,8 million visitors were received in 2009. Against the weakening of tourist activities in Russia and in the world, the incoming flow of tourists in St.Petersburg rests at the same level, and we consider this a great success. Positive impact on growth of the tourists influx was ensured by St.Petersburg steps taken to develop appropriate infrastructure. We are building the only dedicated passenger terminal in Russia. Its passenger throughput in the future will exceed 1.5 million people a year. On April 21, 2010, a ferry line St.Petersburg– Helsinki was launched. This is especially important for St.Petersburg, as the ferry is designed for year-round operation able to smooth out the problems of seasonality in the St.Petersburg incoming tourism A steady growth of the number of tourists arriving into the port was made possible thanks to the federal law passed by a motion of St Petersburg, that provided the possibility of visafree entry and 72-hour sojourn in the Russian Federation for foreign citizens coming into our country within tourist groups via the ferry. The efforts to increase tourism flows must be combined with creating the comfortable conditions for tourist accommodation. Therefore, the program of development of hotel infrastructure is actively working in St.Petersburg. St.Petersburg is Russia’s leader by the number of hotels represented in the online reservation systems — about 300 hotels against 150 in Moscow. In 2010, the implementation of the current program of tourism development is completed. To ensure continuity and consistency in the development of tourism, a new program is being elaborated for the period until 2016, because under current conditions the competition for tourists is getting tough and requires considerable effort to attract them. This is not only promotion, but also the necessary condition for providing a tourist-oriented product competitive as of its price.

Petersburgers: The Culture of Living Nearly 10% of the average monthly expenditure of a Petersburger goes on organizing their own leisure and culture, while the education costs them only 1,1% — almost two times less than in the whole country (1.9%). Our education most probably is both better and cheaper than in the rest of Russia...
T
he conclusion about the quality of education in St.Petersburg is self-suggesting. The average resident of the city on the Neva (according to statistics, about 42 years of age) is an educated family person — no less than a high school graduate. 49% of Petersburgers either have a high school diploma or are going to gain it... Those with vocational secondary education are numerous, too — up to 30%. Hence, the portrait of a Petersburger as an intelligent and educated individual, accustomed in Russian society, is not far from reality. Among the residents of the northern capital, only 13% are workers (humanitarians make almost 11%), but
Petersburgers, on average, earn considerably more than their neighbours in the North-Western Federal District. But they spend much more, too. And, unlike the residents of Vologda or Pskov, they can afford it...

they more often than not have a good education and consider themselves as high-skilled — not without reason. And if in any public area of the country (including steam baths and beaches) you hear an ardent dispute about the characters of the novel «The Master and Margarita» or about the subtleties of English poetry of the XIX century, you should know: it is certainly held by the inhabitants of the second-largest megalopolis of Russia...
Queuing for marriage The number of the residents of the city on the Neva River is gradually growing: the curve of birth rate is getting higher, and the mortality rate is gradually reduced. Demographic indicators of St.Petersburg are similar to the AllRussian, but in some categories the inhabitants of the northern capital are, as always, peculiar. Throughout the country, the trend is as follows: the number of registered marriages decreases. For example, 8.9 people in thousand entered into marriage in Russia in 2007; in 2008, there were 8.3 of them, while in 2009, and earlier in this year this index fell to a level of 6.6. However, the Petersburgers make it clear that they are as easy to find the bonds of marriage, as to get rid of them — it’s no problem. Thus,
the marriage rate level in St.Petersburg is 5.8% higher than in the rest of the North-West, and above 9% higher than the average over Russia. However, in their readiness to divorce the people from the northern capital also give odds to other regions. While the number of divorces in the country is only 4.4 (per thousand people), in St.Petersburg it is 5.2. In this, Petersburgers overcome the Muscovites, who have lower divorce rates (4.2). Like the residents of other European capitals, Petersburgers are in no hurry to give birth to a child. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, only each tenth family can boast of a child under 16 years; only one out of twenty families has two teenage children, and three children in a family are very uncommon. Recently, there have been noticeable improvements in the mortality and birth rate. Yes, the average Petersburger still lives a little over 60 years, but over the past 3 years the mortality decreased from 15.4 (per thousand people) to 14.4, while the birth rate, by contrast, increased from 8.8 to 11.6. However, the natural population loss is still evident: the first 4 months of 2010 it was –2.8, although in the past year it was equal to –3.9. The dymanics of the situation shows that for the first time in recent years the number of St.Petersburg residents become greater than ever before. This is partly explained by the fact that the life in St.Petersburg is very attractive for immigrants: the people who come are twice as many as the people who leave. And the northern capital is getting not only a temporary shelter for guest workers, but also a real home for emigrants from the Russian «remote».
Employment and unemployment The level of unemployment in Petersburg is the lowest in the Russian North-West. Moreover, unemployment continues to decline, and as of the end of April 2010 it takes only 1% of the economically active population. Even by the method of calculation of the International Labour Organization (ILO), it is 3.9%, while in the North-Western Federal District — 7%, and throughout Russia— 8.5%. According to St.Petersburg Committee on Labour and Employment, by the beginning of May there were more than 52,600 vacancies in the city, whereas 27,300 people were registered as unemployed. Over the past six months, this number decreased by about 6%. Given that the average dole barely exceeded RUR 3,740 as of April of 2010, and the official minimum of a wage in the region (OMW) was RUR 6,600 in January (in September, it will be raised to RUR

People 6,890), it’s better to work — it is much more profitable. The experts have concluded that the situation on the labour market of St.Petersburg continues to improve. The tension slackens: at the end of April there were only 1.21 of the unemployed applicants per a job position, while in March this figure was 1.27. And it is no coincidence, since only in April, the Bank of Employment Services received information on more than 16,800 vacancies. A year earlier, only 37% of applicants got a job within 4 months, and now — over 65%. This spring, analysts began talking about the real signs of recovery from the recession. Petersburg-based company began to recruit the personnel again, and the human resources managers resumed the usage of an almost forgotten word «deficit».

Prospects of the development «We are coming out of the recession and we have very good production growth — 104.7%», said Governor Valentina Matvienko during a meeting with the president in St.Petersburg, in late May. «The output of car production alone has increased by 3.2 times. Incomes are growing and a consequence is a stable social environment in the city». The recession will be a recession, but most of the strategic plans do not suffer. In 2011, the average nominal wage in the city is going to exceed RUR 36,000, and the oldage pension — RUR 8,900.

For a better life Petersburgers, on average, earn considerably more than their neighbours in the NorthWestern Federal District. But they spend much more, too. And, unlike the residents of Vologda or Pskov, they can afford it: the percentage of «the poor» with incomes below the subsistence level (MSL), in St.Petersburg is lower. First, a Petersburger spends on food less (in percentage). While the inhabitants of the surrounding regions and republics in 2009 spend on foodstuff up to 30% of consumer expenses (in the northern territories — up to 40%), in St.Petersburg it is only about 25%. Second, Petersburgers often prefer a cafe instead of cooking at home. When the average Russian citizen spends on meals outside the home around 3% of the costs (and the residents of Pskov — only 1%), a Petersburger is ready to endow the public catering with up to 5% of monthly expenditures. In terms of expenses for the hotels, cafes, and restaurants the Petersburgers noticeably bypass even the Muscovites (5,2% of total expenditure against 2,3%). Third, a resident of the northern capital likes to chat over the phone and spends on the holidays abroad more money than a neighbour in the federal district. In terms of wealth, Petersburgers should not be much resenting. A TV set (nowadays, mostly plasma or LCD), mobile phones (children included), a fridge and a washing machine, a desktop PC or a notebook are the immanent attributes of life of most families. More than half of them have a car (mostly of a foreign brand). The main problem of life in St.Petersburg still is owning a home: purchase of an apartment is a dream of many, but to bring it into life is unrealistic for the majority of people. Therefore, the problem of «communal apartments» that are still abundant in the central districts of the city, remains urgent.

Resources: Finances The budget of St.Petersburg for 2009 was planned implying the positive tendencies formed by the middle of 2008. For further three-year period, it was 2009 when it was expected to obtain the highest income (+30% as compared with 2008). The global financial recession adjusted these expectations severely.

As a result, the revenues rose by RUR 10.6 billion — up to RUR 329.1 billion, while the expenses rose by RUR 42.1 billion — up to RUR 378.8 billion. The budget deficit in this edition was equal to RUR 49.7 billion. Most received an additional Utilities — RUR 11.2 billion (+20%), Road-building — RUR 8.8 billion (+30%), Social policy — RUR 7.8 billion (+21%), Health care — RUR 4 billion (+7%), Education — RUR 6.9 billion (+11%), AIP — RUR 12,5 billion. Sources of budget financing increased by RUR 31.5 billion through the use of residual funds received in 2009, but unspent as of the beginning of 2010. It can be argued that the budget of St.Petersburg begins to approach those parameters that were laid there in the prerecession period.

The Locomotives of Economic Growth Are Speeding up Despite the fact that St.Petersburg industry, even in a recession year of 2009, showed better results than in the whole country, the experts unanimously say about the necessity to single out the «locomotives» within its structure that could give the economy a new momentum.
A
ccording to Anatoliy Turchak, President of Petersburg Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the economy of St.Petersburg does have such industries. «The power of the northern capital industry is its traditions, multiplied by advanced technologies», he believes.
Currently, the «foodstuffs» certainly dominate among the goods shipped from St.Petersburg, making up over 21% of the total volume. But in the future the situation should change drastically
TEXT: VLADIMIR SERGACHEV, PHOTO: INTERPRESS
Hard outcomes What is the industry for St.Petersburg? Its backbone. The base of its welfare. The core of the industry is made up of about 700 large and medium-scale enterprises; some of them belong to the biggest in Russia. Apart from that, the economic activities in the field of industrial production is carried out by more than 17,000 small companies. This sector of the city economy is employing almost one fifth of the working population, and creates a quarter of GNP. The industry brings into the budget «pocket» 28% of all tax revenues. In 2009, the industry had hard times indeed. However, thanks to the joint efforts of business and the authorities, the orders of defense industry, for example, managed to increase by 1.86 times (up to RUR 67 billion). And while the index of industrial production (IIP) for St.Petersburg declined to 79.9% in 2009 (the level of 2008), the city industry shipped products worth RUR 879 billion (96.2%), whereas the average for Russia was 90%. Anti-crisis industrial strategy proved to be correct. According to PetroStat data, in January– April of 2010 IIP of St.Petersburg reached 104.7%.
Search for «Locomotives» The lessons of the recession were not lost: now it is clear that the industry of Petersburg needs dramatic changes. «If you implement the industrial policy as before, based on the principle 'each sister gets
her earrings', it comes to a deadlock», said Anatoly Turchak. «Without a proper definition of points of growth, the industry is unlikely to move forward at a pace that we need». Currently, the «foodstuffs» certainly dominate among the goods shipped from St.Petersburg, making up over 21% of the total volume. Another leaders are the coke and oil production (13,8%), production of electrical, electronic, and optical equipment (12,1%), metallurgical industry and manufacturing the fabricated metalware (10%), and the production of vehicles (7,6 %) and chemicals (7%). However, the representatives of both the business and the authorities are certain that the priorities in the industry should be somewhat different. In what exactly? According to Anatoliy Turchak, in this sector there must be at least three. What he considers as a «locomotive», able to pull ahead the whole economy of the city, are the power and nuclear engineering, shipbuilding, and radio electronics. «In these industries, there are science, human resources, and technologies that can compete on the world market», he said. «In Electronics, for example, despite all the complications and pressure from foreign companies, the backbone enterprises managed to survive. They are able to produce competitive products of different kinds, including the components, without which the production of complex radio-electronic devices is impossible». Vladimir Aleksandrov, Director General of JSC «Admiralty Shipyards», confirms this view. «The volume of product output only at our plant could reach a value of RUR 25 billion in 2010', he states. «And about the same development dynamics is observed at other shipyards of St.Petersburg». The authorities has a slightly different view on the problem. Of course, Mikhail Oseevskiy, Vice-Governor of St.Petersburg, agrees that «without a powerful modern competitive industry, the choice of the path of innovative development in Russia is impossible». In his opinion, in Petersburg, where the main contribution to GNP is made just by the industry, we must try to save as much as possible of the best of what is already here, while developing the new industries that have a long-term potential. «This is, first and foremost, the motor-car construction», he said. «Currently, we have chosen for themselves the production of pharmaceuticals as one of the priorities, as well as the production of everything related to health care in general. 75% of our demand is covered

By initiative of Industry Council, with the participation of leading scientists, a roadmap is being developed of St.Petersburg industry for the period until 2025. «Earlier, in the draft plan for the development of St.Petersburg until 2025 the current situation of the whole industry was described in one sentence», says Mikhail Lobin, Vice-President of CSE Petersburg. «But it is clear that without marking out the growth points capable of pulling ahead all the production in general, we can not do». This is a huge amount of work, during which the situation will be evaluated in different sectors, scientific schools, technological capabilities, availability of human resources, etc. According to Michael Lobin, «based on such analysis, we have to determine the datum points to focus on and to invest maximum financial, technological, and human resources into their development». The experience in contemporary conditions has shown that the strategy for the allocation of datum sectors in the industry works. The local automotive industry, for example, quickly recovered after the crisis, showing enviable growth rates. As Governor Valentina Matvienko stated during a recent meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the car production increased by 3.2 times. Mutually beneficial cooperation with other regions and countries becomes a typical feature

of the future of St.Petersburg industry. In particular, during the visit of the delegation from Belarus it was agreed to develop cooperation in such high-tech field as the development and manufacture of modular laser technological complexes. As stressed by Vice-Governor Mikhail Oseevsky, the project is being discussed of creating in 2011 an innovative Russo-Belarusian center of automotive electronics on the basis of JSC «NPP Radar MMS». The result of the overall industrial strategy makes its impact not only in the growing production volumes and increasing profits of enterprises in St.Petersburg. «Largely due to the stability in the industry, the incomes of the people are growing and, consequently, a stable social situation is formed in the city», Valentina Matvienko observes. And if the development of production goes ahead, being properly prioritized, the stability will certainly be strengthening.

High-speed train «Sapsan» arrives to the Moskovkiy Railway Terminal of St.Petersburg
High-Speed Projects for the Investors The state of transport infrastructure has a direct impact, according to St.Petersburg Governor Valentina Matvienko, not only upon the well-being of all sectors of the economy, but also upon the investment attractiveness and image of the city. Therefore, the authorities did not hampered its development even in the situation of recession

n 2009, St.Petersburg put into operation a number of major road facilities, both of city-wide and federal importance. The southern sector of the Western High Speed Diameter (WHSD) was opened, and Outer Ring Road (ORR) was widened to get eight lanes along its entire length. Besides, introducing the new road sections and construction and renovation of several facilities provided reliable transportation link between St.Petersburg and Pushkin, and a long-awaited transport interchange between the Sofiyskaya Street and the Outer Ring Road was completed. Certainly, the recession has made its amendments to the plans to develop the road sector. The reduction of budget revenues forced to revise a number of expenditure articles of road construction. But now the industry is beginning to revive. Among the major projects in 2010, there is a new tunnel under the Liteyny Bridge, which is scheduled to finish in December. Soon, a tender will be announced on building another facility of this kind — under Sampsonievsky Bridge. Thus, a speedway from the will-be Orlovskiy Tunnel to the Primorskiy Prospekt can be formed by the end of 2011.
Stevedoring accelerated St.Petersburg is the naval capital of Russia and the largest terminal complex at the Baltic Sea. The turnover of the Big Port of St.Petersburg in the I quarter of 2010, according to the Seaport Administration, rose to 11.2 million tonnes (+16% as compared with the same period of 2009). In recent years, the dynamics of cargo turnover of the port demonstrated a steady growth of handling the containerized cargo, which is the same as with the Russian and with global trends. For 4 months in 2010, the stevedores have handled 550,500 TEU (an equivalent to a 20-foot container), which is 44.1% more than in the corresponding period of 2009). The main share came from the companies that have modern equipment for transshipment of the containers. They can be called the drivers of growth. Among them, there is JSC «First Container Terminal (FCT), where the trans-shipment for the first 4 months of 2010 amounted to 352,700 TEU (+31%). In Public JSC Petrolesport, the trans-shipment of containers has increased by 2.54 times — up to 132,990 TEU. One of the reasons for high rates of growth is the extension of direct voyages St.Petersburg– South America provided by Maersk company, which should have partly replaced the feeder lines in this direction. A good dynamics is shown also by the two other stevedores who specialize in containers trans-shipment and ro-
ro cargo — Public JSC «Moby Dick» and Public JSC «Rusmarine forwarding». The cargo turnover of ferrous metals in the port grew up by over 15%, and of scrap metal — more than 2,5 times. The demand for metals has began to grow in Europe and North America, which causes all the major Russian steel mills to increase production. In order to reduce the load of freight transport on the road network of the city, in October 2008 the first section of WHSD was opened, which directly connects III and IV areas of the port with the Outer Ring Road and farther — with the network of federal roads. Ensuring the full access of «Petrolesport» and I and II areas of Big Port to WHSD is expected in late 2010 — early 2011.
How to see the steam-vessels off… A new passenger terminal «Marine Facade», which will be fully operational in 2011, has become the pride of St.Petersburg. Its quays already has moored large seagoing liners and ferries. Through the navigation season of 2010, «Marine Facade» plans to serve about 450,000 tourists. According to the strategy of development of transport complex, approved by the Government of St.Petersburg, passenger water transport in 2015 should increase to 1.5 million people, and by 2030 — to 2.8 million The passengers arrive in St.Petersburg, not only by sea but also by the river ships. A special feature of river traffic in 2010 was that the authorities of St.Petersburg reinforced the measures to ensure the safety of vessels at the rivers and canals of the city that are not included in the system of inland waterways of Russia. In particular, as reported by the Committee on Transport and Transit Policy, the traffic lights have been installed at 11 bridges, as well as 6 surveillance TV cameras

Steel projects St.Petersburg keeps close partnership with OAO RzhD (Russian Railways). A number of projects for reconstruction of railway facilities have been jointly carried out. Among them, there are the stations Saint-Petersburg — Moskovskiy-Cargo and St.Petersburg — Varshavskiy, from where the entire railway infrastructure has been relocated to the new grounds. Today it is time to begin creating the railway bypass around St.Petersburg. In addition to the traffic «relief», the bypass will improve the environmental situation and eliminate the risks associated with the transit of dangerous freight through the city. In May, RZhD reported that high-speed trains «Sapsan» have carried out almost a thousand
trips from the beginning of their operation, and on May 20 the 500 thousandth passenger used the Sapsan service. Given the high demand for high-speed travel, from April 5, RZhD increased the number of round trips Moscow–St.

And the growth was significant. In 2004, the development of infrastructure has been assigned RUR 13.4 billion, in 2005 — RUR 16.2 billion, in 2006 — RUR 20.4 billion, in 2007 — RUR 29.4 billion. Investment program for 2008, before the recession, was supposed to master RUR 55.3 billion and in 2009 — RUR 50.9 billion. However, the recession has made its amendments. In 2008, investments amounted to RUR 48.4 billion, and in 2009 — RUR 37.6 billion. Making such a decision was not easy. However, the railway people did not abandon the strategically important projects and introduction of innovative methods of cargo delivery, which allowed the company to put significant pressure on competitors in the field of passenger transportation, remaining in strong position as a carrier.

It is installed in addition to the AIS, without which the passenger vessels operating on small rivers and canals of St.Petersburg are prohibited to access the federal inland waterways. In the future, the city plans to construct and reconstruct 19 objects of city infrastructure for river transport, as 44 km of the VolgaBaltic Waterway passes through the territory of St.Petersburg. Every day thousands of tourists travel to Valaam, Kizhi, and Moscow. As explained by Nikolay Asaul, Chairman of St.Petersburg Committee on Transport and Transit Policy, the new facilities for river transport are to be created at the «Marine Facade», at the complex of protective structures against flooding, and in Nevskiy District, where the River Terminal is located.

Resources: Transport Among the most capital-intensive projects, there is the reconstruction of the railway access to the port of Ust-Luga, which, as expected, is going to ensure the trans-shipment of 36,0 million tons of cargo in 2010. Also, the modernization of 150 km of railways has not been set aside, thus improving the speed of trains and reducing the operating costs. The program of updating the rolling stock and locomotive fleet has been duly implemented. Purchased are Diesel and electric locomotives of a new generation, more powerful and maneuverable. The investment program for 2010 assigns RUR 39.2 billion for Oktyabrskaya Railway, which is 4% more than in the previous year. The growth of investment, as stressed by Victor Stepov, Head
The authorities of St.Petersburg plan to hand over the airport «Pulkovo» to a business for 30 years, with the requirement to invest €1.2 billion into its reconstruction without involving the city budget Western High Speed Diameter and the ring road junction in the area Dachnoe–Predportovaya
of ORW, is associated with the recovery of the economy after the recession and the increase in freight traffic via the railways.
Pulkovo spreads its wings Airport Petersburg is increasing the passenger flow in 2010. In January–March of 2010, 1.52 million people passed Pulkovo (+29% against the same period of 2009). Improving the indicators of the airport was also due to the fact that in 2010 the list of carriers expanded considerably. Today, along with STC «Russia», Aeroflot, Lufthansa, S7 (Siberia), UTair, Jordan, Transaero, Air, Sky Express, and Uzbekistan Airways work in Pulkovo. In 2010, certain companies made lucrative offers concerning the prices on flight tickets at international air routes, which played in favour of overall result. A new terminal for aircrafts in St.Petersburg is only planned to be built by the end of 2013. But the Pulkovo airport still has the resources to manage the increasing passenger traffic. With the assistance of German company Fraport, Consortium Air Gates of the Northern Capital has been developed a relevant program. This is about optimizing the inspection zone, increasing the number of employees at the check-in desks, equipping an additional
checkpoint at Pulkovo-2, organizing the regular shuttle delivery between the Pulkovo 1 and Pulkovo-2 terminals, and installing extra elevators for people with disabilities. Besides, the replacement of displays and signs is already in progress, intended to improve the navigation of the passengers around the terminal area. This program also includes the measures to modernize the airfield infrastructure to expedite the incoming flights, as well as preparation and technical inspection of aircraft prior to departure. For this purpose, it is planned to borrow 716 million euros for 15 years. To facilitate the access to the city, it is decided to arrange a line of «Above-Ground Express» from Moskovskiy Railway Terminal to the airport. The Committee on Investments and Strategic Projects has already chosen the winner of the contest of designers claiming to fulfill the project. It is the company «Petersburg Roads» that has promised to fulfill the city order for RUR 298 million.
As per the terms of the contest, a light railway vehicle should be ready by the end of 2010. The route is planned to be opened by the completion of the first stage of Pulkovo airport reconstruction in 2013. It is expected that the authorities of St.Petersburg will lease the aerial gateway of the city to a business for 30 years, with the requirement, as explained Igor Levitin, Transport Minister, to invest €1.2 billion into the reconstruction of the airport. Obviously, the recession has not hindered the development of transportation infrastructure in St.Petersburg.

The Realty Market Awaits the Progress During the spring conferences and fairs of 2010, the forecasts for the St.Petersburg construction market given by the experts were polar opposites. Some of them said that the volume of Newbuilding and apartment prices will continue to grow in summer, while others predicted a decline. What actually happens?

f you watch the macro-ecomical indicators, they are not encouraging. Russia’s mortgage market in 2009 shrank by 4.3 times, as compared with 2008. Moreover, 100 of 130 thousand mortgage loans were issued by Sberbank, and another 10 thousand — by VTB. The rest falls on two dozen banks, working in conjunction with the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending (AHML). Low activity of most commercial banks suggests that they do not believe in a quick revival of the real estate market. Sberbank has to work with mortgages because it is so ordered, and certain other banks — simply because they have got the unsold apartments as mortgages. In 2009, the main share of mortgage loans fell on Moscow, where the picture this year was not especially better. In St.Petersburg, in I quarter of 2010 nearly a thousand of mortgage loans was issued amounting to RUR 1 billion vs 700 credits for the same period of 2009. However, the experts suspect that a significant portion of this thousand are refinancing an old mortgage, which the statistics takes for new loans. In 2010, the demand for housing lease remains low, and the consequence is low rents.
The optimists live in hope Experts-optimists base their assessments on indirect parameters, because they believe that during the recession, the mood of investors
(rather than the actual performance of the economy) is of crucial importance. So the optimists expect the recovery of the construction market in summer of 2010. Before all, this forecast is based on certainty that the construction cost of houses in 2012–2013 is going to significantly increase. And prices for apartments will increase in proportion to at least 30–40% to the current level. In other words, the near-term conditions stipulate not only returning the prices to pre-recession level, but exceeding it by 10–20%. Another factor in favor of the optimists is the springtime «thaw» in the market of building materials. However, not every manufacturer has noticed it. The production volume of bricks, tiles, and several other articles continued to fall. However, the cement market in the I quarter of 2010 increased by 3.6% against the same period of 2009. 26 leading local manufacturers of concrete shipped 740,000 cubic meters of mortar in the I quarter of 2010 — thus, the increase was 4.2%. Yet in April, manufacturers of concrete accelerated by 45%, as compared with this month of 2009. By this reason, some players hurried to call April a point of withdrawal from the recession for construction industry. However, as the experts assure us, the market trend of redistribution should not be ignored, as the orders on mortar left the small producers in favor of large companies. Therefore, the overall
growth in the segment of concrete actually was less significant. Experts estimate that the growth could be between 20–26% by 2009. In addition, the spring rose orders from large suppliers, because they are able to fulfill the terms of government clients — in particular, to ship the goods by installment. The share of government clients in the total amount of new housing has risen sharply: more than half of the housing launched in St.Petersburg for the first four months of 2010 (825,000 sq. meters) was paid for from the budget (homes for veterans and military officers). Moreover, these buildings were finished in a rush to meet the deadline just in April of 2010. Another 83,000 sq. meters were added in April in form of several objects of the project «Baltic Pearl», where the works were kept barely warm during the recession. If the state will further act as a customer, then, according to the City Committee for Construction, the industry would be able to increase the output several times during the year or even two, without experiencing shortage of facilities. Total demand at primary real estate market has been remained listless for 5 months in 2010, while the number of visits to the real estate agencies has grown by 26% as compared with the same period of 2009. That said, the average price level remained unchanged. Fluctuations in the exposition of real estate did not exceed 1%. According to the major agencies, 90% of buyers of economy-class housing are residents of St.Petersburg, while the vast majority of those who purchase business-class and «elite» housing are Muscovites.
The trade diversifies In the segment of commercial real estate, only one object was launched in St.Petersburg in the I quarter of 2010, through which the total amount of high-quality commercial real estate reached

Migratory merchants The market of business centers in the I quarter of 2010 increased to 1.9 million sq. meters (+2% as compared with the same period of 2009). However, the volume of introduced office space as a whole was 51% lower for the first three months than the same period of 2009,
and as compared with pre-recession period, introducing the new areas have been halved. In fact, only a part of the pre-existing objects was finished. In order to reduce the operation costs, the tenants migrate between business centers of A and B+ class, and B and C class. As a result, the occupancy rate in A class has decreased to 67% (at the end of 2009 — 75%). The highest vacancy rate is observed in the office centers, built a year or a year and a half ago. The occupancy of C class remained at 87%. In May, for the first time during the whole recession period, the demand for quality business centers somewhat grew, which slightly aroused the rental rates in Class A. The experts explain such favorable changed referring to the positive dynamics of investments in office real estate: in the I quarter of 2010 they amounted to $ 265 million. The forecast on II quarter is about $ 370 million, which gives hope of stabilizing the market in the future. It seems that the real estate market of St.Petersburg has adapted to the recession. And this is its claim on further stabilization. The main thing is to keep the demand. Also, the investors do not let us down. The building industry of the city has a large margin of safety.

3.06 million sq. meters. The most demanded are objects ranging from 3 to 40 thousand sq. meters. In the market, according to ARIN data, the tendency is kept to place the entertainment, sports, and leisure facilities in the buildings of larger area. In other words, the diversification of retail space continues due to its being underloaded against the intended purpose, which allows for keeping the occupancy rates of large objects high enough. In the majority of shopping centers the occupancy level is also quite high — about 90% The possibility of further stabilization of the market is indicated by the trend of increasing rental rates kept in the I quarter of 2010, which emerged since the autumn of 2009. However, because of the recession the malls often waive a system of regular indexation of rental rates. This process is unstable and selective. In the new shopping centers, accommodation is offered at a discount for the first 2 years, but the owners of some existing shopping centers are ready to review contracts and lower rates for a year. Emerging are the examples when the «anchor» operators are exempt from rent payments and pay for utilities only. According to ARIN forecasts, the launch of no more than 9 trade centers is expected in 2010, with a total trading area of about 250,000 sq. meters, which is not going to dramatically alter the overall situation in the market. Thus, at the end of 2010 the total retail space in St.Petersburg could reach 3.3 million sq. meters.

The global recession has transformed the accustomed thinking of Russia’s elite, traditionally oriented to maximizing the rents from natural resources of the country.

The first block of the program defines the priority areas, in which the support of innovative companies from the city budget. These are training and retraining of the personnel, creating the innovation infrastructure, implementing the cluster policy, improving the regulatory framework, facilitating the implementation of innovative products for export, increasing the demand, promoting the innovations, and assisting businesses to participate in the federal target programs. The second block is implemented under cofinancing a number of major infrastructure projects from the federal and city budget. Among these, there are creating a special economic zone of technology-innovative type in the offices of «Neudorf» and «Novoorlovskaya», and Technopark «Ingria». The course of implementing the program is regularly examined by the city government. For the activities mentioned in the Complex Program, the amount of RUR 1.6 billion was assigned in 2009. Much of these funds wasspent

The purpose of the program «I2U» is the development of enterprising activity of the society by attracting talented young people into high-tech business. Today, «IngriaITMO» hosts a part of the residents and holds special events. In particular, in the mid-May of 2010 the IV International Forum «From Science to Business» was held, at this time devoted to the formation and activities of innovation zones around the institutions of higher education.

Technopark «Ingria» represents the targeted «nurturing» of small innovative enterprises, which is new for Petersburg. A business incubator with the same name is already successfully operating, where 25 young entrepreneurs are gaining experience. Not only are they mastering the basics of business, but also selling their ideas to the investors. E.g., during the last year they have managed to attract RUR 10.2 million for implementing their projects. As explained by Elena Kayurova, Development Director of «Technopark St.Petersburg», «Ingria» expects the presence of as much as 80 residents by the end of 2010. Simultaneously, the cooperation with foreign investors is widening. Eight foreign companies have already expressed their consent to participate in considering the projects of starting-up entrepreneurs. In early 2010, the main site of businessincubator «Ingria», for one and a half years providing its residents with a variety of business services, was supplemented by a new unit in the St.Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics, and Optics. «Ingria-
The gap between the high level of scientific and theoretical training in the leading universities of Russia and a low degree of implementation of their ideas is one of the major problems in the innovation sphere. Speaking at the briefing «Innovative IT Business in Russia: Facts and Trends», Alexander Semenov, CEO of «KORUS Consulting», one of the largest IT companies in St.Petersburg, has admitted that the primary role of the IT industry in Russia is servicing the foreign software. The share of national software products competitive on the Russian domestic and international markets is extremely low. In Russia, no more than 10 IT companies have an annual turnover of more than $ 100 million. Among the best, Alexander Semenov mentioned Petersburg group of companies «Transas» that started from the scratch 20 years ago and managed to dominate the world markets of commercial maritime simulators (with the share of 45%), integrated navigation systems of electronic geolocation (35%), and shorebased traffic control systems for vessels (20%). «Transas» is also the leader in the development

The largest and most advances complex for business meetings is «LenExpo». In the future, the complexes may appear at Technopark in Novo-Orlovsky SEZ and the University of Communications, in Strelna and Vsevolozhsk.

Enough for each and all
t is approximately estimated that the business travel market in Russia is gradually expanding: its turnover is up to $ 2 billion a year. And although during the past year and a half, it «dropped» by 25–30%, in the long term (until 2020), the volume could grow to 5 times. And St.Petersburg is quite capable to compete for a significant chunk of this money «pie».

Petersburg accent According to the company «Center of Evaluation and Consulting of St.Petersburg», the local area of rooms suitable for business meetings is over 43,000 sq. meters (over 80 sites). About a third of them are small rooms (up to 50 sq. meters), while the halls of 1,000 sq. meters make up only 1% of the premises. An important characteristic of business tourism market of St.Petersburg is that the 3 categories of rooms are in demand of the customers. These are conference rooms, located in business centers and hotels (ranging from 50 to 200 sq. meters), modern grounds of 300–500 sq. meters of size, and large congress halls with the capacity of over 1,000 people. In addition, the local market is characterized by a noticeable seasonality. The average occupancy rate of rooms is still 20–40% only, but in the «high» season (May–August), it reaches 80%.
The development of business tourism is one of the strategic objectives of St.Petersburg Government. Its potential is estimated as very high. Given the simultaneous development of tourism infrastructure (airport, seaport, the emergence of new hotels), the growth of the demand for large conference area (above thousands of square meters) is expected. Given this, St.Petersburg intends to implement several projects in the near future. And if this can be done, by 2020 the area of specialized facilities will be about 97,000 sq. meters (40,000 seats). And the experts consider the most beneficial the occupancy area of multifunctional complexes, where the main functions are accommodating an exhibition, hotel, or office. It is expected that large complexes will appear in the central part of the city, where there is a reconstruction of the entire zone («New Holland», «Apraksin Yard»), in the districts located close to Strelna («Baltic Pearl»), as well as near the airport. According to Aleksey Chichkanov, Head of the Committee on Investments and Strategic Projects (CISP) at the city government, it will have 2–3 years to bring to a new level the abilities of St.Petersburg with regard to organization of business meetings. And as a result, it is going attract to the northern capital the people of high solvent category.
In 2004, in St.Petersburg there were only 7,000 hotel beds. However, after the start of the program «555», nine major hotels were put into operation in St.Petersburg already in 2006, another nine — in 2007, and 3 more big hotels — in 2008. Hundreds of mini-hotels emerged in the city. According to CISP, by the end of 2009, in St.Petersburg there were more than 620 accommodation facilities with overall capacity of almost PAX 27,000 (120 of them were the hotels). 80 of them have more than 50 rooms (totally, about 17,000 rooms). The total PAX number in the hospitality sector of St.Petersburg (including the capacity of mini-hotels) is 56,000. In 2009, despite the objective economic difficulties, the city on the Neva riversides opened a number of new hotels. Among the most significant new facilities, there are Congress Hotel Holiday Inn St.Petersburg-Moskovskye Vorota (557 rooms, 3*), M-Hotel (54 rooms, 3*), Grand Peterhof Spa Hotel (37 rooms), and hotel Terijoki (48 rooms, Zelenogorsk). Besides, Moscow Hotel was incremented by 90 rooms at once, while Corinthia St.Petersburg — by 107 rooms. At the end of the year, Reval Hotel Sonya was opened — a new large (173 rooms) hotel of level 4*, built to a unified design concept in the center of the northern capital. According to Maris Properties, right now, there are about 5 hotel rooms per 1,000 residents

But the transportation service, and excursion program, and lots of other services are also necessary. Recently Petersburg started to proactively shape the program of events.

The largest share of the St.Petersburg hotels falls on the hotels of category 3* (43% of the total). These are followed by accommodation objects of economy class (32%), 4* (14%), and 5* (10%) A sign of the times also became a rapidly growing interest of St.Petersburg accommodation facilities to participate in global and online reservation systems. According to the company Nota Bena, by 2010 it was possible to book a room at 233 Saint Petersburg hotels, representing 32% of the total number of all bookable hotels of Russia (for comparison, in Moscow — only 20%). Currently, there are over 30 hotels in St.Petersburg at a construction stage, totalling 6,000 rooms.

«The recession forced the business to „open the eyes wide“ and seek the new opportunities» At the verge of XIV St.Petersburg International Economic Forum, Vladimir Katenev, President of St.Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry, shared his thoughts on the role of NGOs in the development of national and regional economy.
TEXT, PHOTO: PRESS-SERVICE OF CCI
During the recession, the role of public associations such as CCI is increasing: the business is in particular need of consultation, of finding reliable, «transparent» partners, and of special events, including those attended by the representatives of authorities — Which is the role of business associations in overcoming the hard times in the economy? Has the tandem of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of RF and St.Petersburg managed to convey the opinion of the business community to the government and influence the decision-making policy for the economy getting out of the recession? — Regardless of the «economic weather», we see our role in the development of St.Petersburg economy and in providing full support to the business community. In October of 2008, a commission was created at the Chamber to counteract the economic recession in the city. We did a targeted job, through the working groups and committee meetings, and all this time addressed the urging industry issues. In 2009, only on our site more than 50 public events took place — conferences, seminars, or round tables, that, one way or another, discussed the issues of recession. Among them, there were an «anti-crisis» meeting of the Council of St.Petersburg CCI, a joint meeting of the Committee on Financial Markets and Credit Organizations and the Committee for Support and Development of Small-scale Businesses at the St.Petersburg CCI (involving also the Committee on Finance of the City), a roundtable on «St.Petersburg Regional Commodities Clearing Center and the St.Petersburg Chamber of Commerce: Supporting the Business during the Recession», negotiations with foreign business delegations, and many other meetings. If we talk about «sore points», these are is still the administrative barriers and dozens of endorsements needed that the entrepreneurs face, and the interaction between business monopolies. Besides, the interest rates on loans remain extremely high. Recently, at my request, my colleagues monitored the banks of St.Petersburg, to clarify the terms under which one can get a loan.
