The oldest Alabuga economic zone has ceased the leadership to Naberezhnye Chelny PSEDA for the first time in 10 years. At the final meeting on 27 December, head of the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency Taliya Minullina noted impressing successes from the diversity of tax benefits in the republic and mentioned 'now Yelabuga also started to feel different'. Defending the course on PSEDA, she promised the volume of direct investments in the republic's economy wouldn't fall by the end of 2017 but remain at last year's level, that's to say, $1,75-1,8 billion.
