This article presents a methodology for rapid assessment of the gross municipal product (GMP) accounting for the economic structure based on open data, which can be used for forecasting purposes. The relevance of this study is determined by absence of the offi GMP estimates in the state statistical observation system amid the growing need to measure the level of economic development of municipalities for strategic purposes planning. Methodological limitations of existing approaches to assessing the gross product at the municipal level are analyzed, related to insuffi statistical data and restrictions on its public disclosure. This methodology was testedusing the example of selected cities in the Far-Eastern federal district and the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Some approaches to assessing the fi sustainability of regions used in the public administration and research are considered. The need to apply comprehensive assessment of fi sustainability, covering a wide range of aspects, is argued. Key indicators characterizing the fi sustainability of the regions of the Far East are analyzed: budget dependency, public debt level, capital investment share, etc. Based on the ratings of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, comparative estimates for the Far-Eastern regions in 2020-2022 were obtained characteristics and parameters that require the most attention to improve the budget sustainability and overcome the lag behind the most regions of the country were identifi

In the emerging new economic conditions, the role of the Russian Far East as a critical element in the implementation of the Eastern vector of the development of the Russian economy is growing. Increased attention to the Far Easter uncovers opportunities for the growth of its investment attractiveness and raises issues of economic and social development of the Far-Eastern territories. An essential element of regional development is the conditions of the budgetary systems of the Far-Eastern regions – their ability to develop their own sources of revenue and increase their self-sufficiency. The article considers the current state and problems of tax and non-tax revenues of budgets in the regions of the Russian Far East. The Far-Eastern regions are significantly differentiated in terms of the size and structure of budgetary revenues, which leads to different reactions to changes in the economic situation and tax regulation. Over the past ten years, the regions of the Russian Far East have demonstrated modest growth in tax revenues, which is a joint result of both economic development trends and the tax policy pursued by the state. An estimate of the size of shortfalls in revenues of regional budgets for corporate income tax as a result of preferential tax regimes is assessed. The dynamic development of the economy’s resource and raw materials sector enabled a significant tax potential in the macro-region that can be used as a source of additional financial support for regional budgets and the formation of “development budgets”. Impacts on the budgets of the FarEastern regions in the case of partial decentralization of the federal part of the mineral extraction tax are considered.
