Abstract
The article studies the investment attractiveness of the regions of the Volga Federal District (VFD) of Russia through the prism of their typology and associated risks. The first stage of the study analyses a wide range of socio-economic indicators, including GDP per capita, unemployment rate, investment in fixed capital and other relevant factors. Institutional conditions, such as the quality of regional governance, the degree of openness to innovation and the level of bureaucratic obstacles for business are also taken into account. Based on the data collected, the regions of the Volga Federal District are classified into several typological groups that differ in terms of investment attractiveness. Each group is characterised by its unique features that make the regions more or less attractive to investors. A comparative analysis is provided to highlight the key advantages and disadvantages of each group. An important part of the study is the assessment of risks associated with investing in specific regions of the district. Economic and political risks are considered, as well as specific regional risks, including infrastructure constraints and environmental concerns. Strategies to minimise these risks are proposed for each type of region, which can be useful for strategic planning for both private investors and government agencies. Practical recommendations are given to improve the investment climate in the Volga Federal District. The authors emphasise the need for an integrated approach combining infrastructure development, improvement of the regulatory environment and promotion of innovation. The findings of the study can become a basis for the development of more effective regional development policies aimed at attracting investment and stimulating economic growth in the Volga Federal District.
