Abstract

The aim of the study is a macroeconomic analysis of the structure and income indicators of the mining industry of the Far Eastern Federal District. Methodologically, economic and statistical methods, comparative analysis, GIS technologies were used. The assessment was carried out on the basis of indicators for 2020 in 11 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It is shown that the total value of mined and sold minerals at current world and domestic prices amounted to 1827 billion rubles, including gold and silver – 915 billion rubles, in total metal, mining, chemical mining, semi-precious raw materials, building materials, groundwater – 53 billion rubles; taxes from the mining industry, payable to the budget, amounted to 155 billion rubles, not received due to the use of benefits – 30 billion rubles, including from gold and silver 22 billion rubles, which is the amount of non-receipts for all minerals amounted to 73 % (without fuel and energy – 98 %). The benefits for gold compared to other minerals are higher. The novelty of the performed study lies in the systematic empirical analysis of a complex economic factor that is significant for the Far Eastern Federal District – the subsoil use of the subjects. The area of application of the generalizations obtained can be strategic developments in the development of the economy of the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District. The export-raw material model of the economy of the Far Eastern Federal District with the exploitation of natural resource and transit factors against the background of the almost complete absence of manufacturing industries and low consumption is the cause of the negative state in the socio- economic sphere. Gold mining is a factor of intra- regional disproportions in the resource region. A new strategic approach is needed to the goals and objectives of the development of mineral resources in the region, the alignment of sectoral imbalances, the priority development of the manufacturing industry with the creation of fundamental sectors of the full technological cycle, such as ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, the development of intraregional and interregional cooperation of technologically complementary industries in order to create common economic space
