Vladimir Putin had a working meeting with Acting Governor of Kaluga region Anatoly Artamonov to discuss the socioeconomic situation in the region.
Among other things, the discussion covered the situation in automotive industry. According to Mr Artamonov, Volkswagen has recently launched an engine-making plant in Kaluga. Also operating in the region are Mitsubishi and Peugeot-Citroën, while the total number of car manufacturers in the region is 31.
The pharmaceutical industry is also developing. Four major factories will open this year alone, including a large factory run by AstraZeneca.
Investment in the region amounted to 100 billion rubles last year. The Governor noted that Russian investors are active both in industry and agro-industrial complex. More than half of the new major facilities to be commissioned are Russian.
