According to the Governor, gross regional product (GRP) has grown by 30 percent to reach 500 billion rubles, while high technology products accounted for 15 percent of the GRP. Sibur has overhauled its polymer producing subsidiary Tomskneftekhim, which has become a competitive company.

Speaking about demographics, the Governor said that the region’s population had increased by 25,000 over the past few years thanks to a high birth rate.
