ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ALTAI TERRITORY AND THE KEMEROVO REGION: COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Using the example of interactions between the Altai Territory and the Kemerovo Region, the article reveals the state and partly trends in the formation of a single integration space of the regions of the Siberian Federal District in the field of economics. Its relevance is due to the relatively little study of interregional interactions, especially in terms of interregional capital flows and, in general, comprehensive empirical research covering key areas and results of interregional interactions in the field of economics. Due to the lack of systematic information (this is only one of the key reasons), the research results presented in the article do not pretend to characterize the interregional interactions between the region and the region in all their completeness and diversity. They are often valid only in relation to individual parties and a local fragment of inter-regional relationships. The article reflects the key directions of interregional integration in the commodity, labor and capital markets. Along with this, certain aspects of the dependence of the intensity of interregional interactions between the Altai Territory and the Kemerovo Region on the state of the transport network are disclosed. The article concludes with brief conclusions based on the results of the work carried out, revealing the picture of interregional integration of the Altai Territory and Kuzbass in these aspects of interaction. Among them are: The interaction of the regions under consideration in the commodity markets is stable and long-term, due to the complementarity of regional economies. Mutual supplies of basic products are of critical importance for the regions; Interregional migration of capital is characterized by its movement in both directions. The expansion of Kuzbass capital into the Altai Territory is more pronounced; In the process of interactions in the field of population exchange, the dominant flow is the movement of the population of the Altai Territory to the Kemerovo region.
