The article analyzes the socioeconomic situation in the Far Eastern Federal District in 2023 by main types of economic activities and territorial-administrative regions on the basis of operational statistical,analytical,and expert information.The issues of functioning of the real sector of the econo-my,social sphere,foreign economic activity in the context of continuing sanc-tions pressure are considered.It is noted that the instability and inconsistency of development trends in certain sectors of the economy remain.The index of output of basic types of economic activities demonstrates positive dynamics with a growth rate above the level of 2022.Investment activity remained at a high level despite the existing shock restrictions.A large increase in invest-ment in fixed assets is associated with the implementation of the largest,inclu-ding export-oriented,projects in the field of oil and gas chemistry,mining,reconstruction of transport and logistics infrastructure due to the new geography of trade interactions.The overall growth of industrial output was mainly due to the increase in hydrocarbon production in the Sakhalin Oblast'and a signifi-cant increase in fish haul in the Kamchatka Krai.The construction sector demonstrates the greatest resistance to external shocks,with positive dynamics for the second year in a row due to,among other things,the expansion of housing construction.Freight transportation by all types of transport in the Far Eastern Federal District,with the exception of road transport,had positive dy-namics.The issue that persisted was that of the deficit of carrying capacity of the Eastern polygon of railroads.Foreign trade was characterized by an in-crease in the physical volumes of exports and imports.One of the factors of e-conomic growth was the expansion of consumer demand under the conditions of growth of real incomes of the population and declining inflation rate.Against this backdrop,there are numerous negative factors that may become serious obstacles to further growth:the inflation rate remains ahead of the economic growth dynamics;the number of workers,including highly skilled ones,de-creases;the population continues to decline due to both natural loss and mi-gration outflow.The original article was published in the Russian journal Spa-tial Economics,No.2,2024.With the consent of the author,it is published in Siberian Studies in Chinese.
