Abstract

Traditionally, mineral mining formed a gross product of mining regions, and was the main supplier of taxes to the budget. At the same time, modern realities led to the fact that the demand for minerals has been reduced – it is expected to reduce mining industries as well. The question is especially acute in the Arctic regions in which mining operations are difficult due to climatic, infrastructure, logistic and other factors. To solve the scientific problem of a comprehensive assessment of the contribution of mineral extraction to the formation of gross domestic and gross regional products, as well as budgets at various levels, the paper proposes multiplicative indicators. The testing of the methodology has been carried out on the Russian regions’ materials. The regions’ territories are completely located in the Arctic: Murmansk region, Nenets, Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka autonomous districts. The official materials of the Office of the Federal State Statistics Service and the Federal Tax Service for the Russian Federation for the period from 2016 to 2024 has been involved in the research.

Keywords

Mining, gross regional product, gross domestic product, regional budget, consolidated budget, comprehensive assessment.
