4. Welcome letter by the President
of the Republic of Tatarstan
Rustam Minnikhanov
Today, it is widely recognised that Tatarstan
has significant potential in terms of attrac-
ting direct investment, primarily from fore-
ign countries. Leading consultancies rank
the republic among Russia’s most favourable
regions in terms of investment climate and
business opportunities. International rating
agency Moody’s gave Tatarstan a Ba1 invest-
ment rating, while rating agency Fitch gave
it BBB, indicating that the region’s economy
is both a highly reliable and attractive desti-
nation for investment. Today 1,044 commer-
cial organisations with foreign investment
are registered in Tatarstan, of which 472 are
wholly foreign owned.
Tatarstan has established its own Tatarstan
Investment Development Agency to ensure
effective collaboration between the authori-
ties and investors. This agency joined the
World Association of Investment Promo-
tion Agencies (WAIPA) in September 2011.
The Agency’s key objectives are promoting
Tatarstan in the global economy, attracting
investors to the republic, and supporting
ongoing investment projects.
The Republic of Tatarstan is actively wor-
king to develop modern industrial sites
with diverse profiles, as well as industrial
parks and business process outsourcing
centres, which provide a favourable envi-
ronment and meet investor requirements.
Dear friends,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to
the Republic of Tatarstan, one of Russia’s fastest-
growing regions, located at the intersection of
strategic trade routes connecting northern and
southern Russia, as well as Asia and Europe.
4 | Guide to Investment | PwC
5. Special Economic Zone Alabuga is the best
known of all such business platforms. Its
residents have access to a fully established
manufacturing, engineering, utilities, trans-
port and customs infrastructure, while also
enjoying a number of tax and customs ben-
efits. Other facilities include Technopolis
Himgrad, which was specially designed for
chemicals and polymer processing compa-
nies, and the Kama Industrial Park (KIP)
Master, which was specifically designed for
heavy engineering enterprises and is one of
the republic’s prized initiatives. We are also
currently working on the SMART City Inter-
national Exhibition and Conference Centre
project, which will include an expo centre
and congress halls, an international educa-
tion centre, and an international health and
recreation centre.
The Republic of Tatarstan is consistently
implementing projects to develop industrial
and park areas. Tatarstan’s legislation is in
line with modern standards, and guarantees
and protects the rights of investors. The rele-
vant legislative base comprises the laws “On
Foreign Investments” and “On Investment
Activities”. A law “On public-private part-
nerships” was recently enacted in Tatarstan,
which creates the essential conditions for ex-
panding the number of PPP-based projects.
Particular attention should be paid to the de-
velopment of Tatarstan’s transport network.
Airlines, motorways, railways and navigable
rivers constitute the core of this network.
From a transport perspective, Tatarstan is
located at a critical crossroads, linking the
Urals, Siberia and the Far East with Euro-
pean Russia and a number of CIS countries.
We can state with confidence that we are
moving in the right direction, given that
such internationally recognised companies
as Ford-Sollers, Rockwool, Hayat Group,
Daimler, Lufthansa, Schneider Electric and
Fujitsu have all chosen Tatarstan as a place
to do business.
I can assure you that the key economic pol-
icy priorities of Tatarstan’s leadership have
always been, and will continue to be, aimed
at making the republic more attractive for
the global investment community, and sup-
porting business development and entrepre-
neurial initiatives.
We would be delighted to welcome you as a
business partner, and wish you every success
in carrying out your projects here, in the
Republic of Tatarstan.
Yours faithfully,
Rustam Minnikhanov
President of the Republic of Tatarstan

6. Foreword
The Republic of Tatarstan is an undisputed
leader in Russia both in terms of economic
growth and investment appeal. Located in the
heart of Russia, Tatarstan is convenient for
investors not only because of its geographical
location, but also due to the wealth of natural
resources and great educational and scientific
potential in the region.
The Tatarstan government is actively in-
volved in increasing the region’s investment
appeal. They have wisely implemented
a number of projects designed to make the
processes for international and Russian in-
vestment in the region as simple as possible.
The Tatarstan Investment Development Agen-
cy (TIDA), established in 2011, is, for exam-
ple, a reliable and useful “one-stop shop” tool.
TIDA aims to support investment projects
from the very first meeting with potential
investors, in addition to assisting in project
implementation. One of TIDA’s functions is to
help in selection of a production site. A well-
developed network of technology parks with
sophisticated engineering infrastructure is
available for investors. Such parks include
the Khimgrad Technopolis, Idea Technol-
ogy Park, as well as modern business incuba-
tors located in various regions of Tatarstan.
Leading Tatarstan’s development institutions
is Special Economic Zone Alabuga, which
attracts investors by promoting the develop-
ment of high-tech projects in fundamental
economic clusters: these include the petro-
chemical complex, as well as the automotive
and construction industries.

7. We cannot ignore the impressive work al-
ready done by the Republic, nor the large-
scale projects that have just begun as part of
preparations for the XXVII World Summer
Universiade 2013, the 2015 World Aquatics
Championships, and the 2018 FIFA World
Cup, during which it is planned a number of
games will be held in Kazan. PwC Russia is
proud to be a Partner and Official Professio-
nal Services Provider to the XXVII World
Summer Universiade 2013 in Kazan.
With more than twenty years experience
of working in Tatarstan, we at PwC can at-
test to the Republic’s economic potential.
We see Tatarstan as a reliable site for invest-
ments. According to a 2011 PwC survey of
Tatarstan investors, 70% were positive about
the Tatarstan government’s increased focus
on raising investments and thought that the
investment climate (infrastructure and in-
vestment comfort) has significantly improved
over the past 3-5 years.
This guide was prepared in collaboration
with the TIDA and is based on data supplied
by TIDA. We hope that you will find here all
the necessary information on priority stra-
tegic development areas of the Tatarstan
economy and on the region’s economic and
investment potential, and that this will help
you to implement your investment ideas.
Very truly yours,
David Gray

14. Transport infrastructure
Transport connection
The republic is situated at the intersection of
several major transport routes: railways (the
Trans-Siberian Railway and the North-South
line), rivers (the Volga and Kama rivers,
which flow into the Caspian Sea, and the
rivers of the Urals and greater Moscow re-
gions), and motorways. Three federal high-
ways cross the republic: the M-7 Volga, the M-5
Ural, and the Kazan-Orenburg highway. The
region has 18,500 km of paved public roads.
It also has three cargo ports with five cargo
areas, four passenger ports (Kazan, Naber-
ezhnye Chelny, Chistopol and Nizhne-
kamsk), and six inland water terminals.
Druzhba, the world’s largest oil pipeline,
starts in Tatarstan. Large gas pipelines car-
rying natural gas from the Urengoy and
Yamburg fields to Western Europe also run
through the republic.
Six airports are located in Tatarstan. Kazan
and Begishevo are federal airports.
Tatarstan’s international airports operate
scheduled flights to Germany, Greece, the
Czech Republic, Cyprus, Turkey, Azerbai-
jan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. In 2011,
Kazan Airport hosted flights to 22 countries
worldwide on over 50 routes. In 2011 Kazan
Airport’s passenger traffic increased 28% to
reach 1.23 million, a record high since the
airport was built in 1979.
A new terminal at Kazan Airport is due to
open in July 2012. It will be able to handle
up to 2 million passengers annually. To date,
over RUB 1 billion has been spent on the
project to modernise and develop airport
infrastructure. By 2013 investments in the
airport complex will exceed RUB 2 billion.
The project is due to be completed by 2025,
with completion taking place in three stages,
increasing the passenger service facilities’
capacity to 5 million passengers per year
(3,500 passengers per hour).

15. One of the large-scale projects, being
implemented in Tatarstan is the construc-
tion of a section of the Europe-Western
China international transport corridor.
This corridor will reduce travel time by 3.5
times and significantly decrease transpor-
tation costs, becoming the key freight route
in the Cent-ral Asian region.
Tatarstan’s logistics development pro-
gramme links the construction of a section
of the international transport corridor with
the project to create the Sviyazhsk Inter-
regional Multi-modal Logistics Hub, thus
creating an important logistics network.
The first phase of the Volga region’s largest
logistics hub construction is scheduled
for 2013.
The hub’s key objective will be develo-
ping infrastructure for China-Europe
freight flows. Completing the project to
build the Sviyazhsk Interregional Multi-
modal Logistics Hub will enable freight
to be shipped to any region in Russia, re-
directing freight flows away from Central
Russia. This solves the following pressing
issues: taking pressure off the transport in-
frastructure of the greater Moscow region,
and creating social and economic infra-
structure along the length of the corridor.
