The realization of such projects makes it possible to increase the volume, quality and accessibility of public goods for all groups of the population while ensuring favorable results in the format of sustainable development. It’s concluded that PPP represents an effective tool for achieving sustainable development goals and compliance with the ESG criteria in the infrastructure. The features of the creation and fulfillment of sustainable infrastructure projects PPP, external and internal environmental factors that stimulate their scale and success in the modern Russian economy are revealed.

Annotation: The article describes the intricate and multifaceted energy cooperation between Russia and China, using the Power of Siberia project as a case study. The author analyses the strategic partnership that results from combin- ing Russian energy resources with China’s consumption market. On the basis of a comprehensive examination of economic and political factors, the key elements that contribute to enhancing energy security and promoting economic growth in both nations are revealed.

The results of the study show that in order to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize risks, careful strategic planning and flexible management of international relations are necessary. The author provides several recommendations for enhancing the energy partnership, such as diversifying energy routes and promoting joint technological innova- tion. As a conclusion, it is highlighted that successful Russian-Chinese energy collaboration has the potential to serve as a model for other international energy collaborations, contributing to global stability and prosperity.

Annotation: The article is devoted to analysis the current territorial structure of the global mergers and acquisitions market.

Annotation: The article discusses scientific approaches to assessing the effectiveness of customs warehouse procedures in organizing cross-border electronic commerce in Russia and EAEU countries. The authors explain that for the purpose of assessing the budgetary and socio-economic effectiveness of the customs warehouse procedure, it is necessary to take into account not only export and import indicators, but also macroeconomic criteria for the effectiveness of foreign trade: GDP, consumption, customs duties and fees. To do this, it is recommended to improve the policy of collection and payment of customs tariffs when placing goods under the procedure of a customs warehouse in Russia. The positive dynamics of changes in cash flows from the introduction of new tariffs will ensure the stimulation of economic and budgetary growth in the context of state reserves of the Rus- sian Federation. The article notes that the result of the introduction of recommended evaluation indicators to measure the effectiveness of the customs warehouse procedure may be the macroeconomic stability of foreign trade operations, which can increase effective demand and stimulate the growth of customs payments.

Annotation: In this research paper, the author raises the acute issue of depopulation of rural areas of the Russian Federation at the present time. Statistical data confirming the occurrence of depopulation process over a long period of time are presented. The author identifies the main causes of the decline of rural areas and identifies the relationship between the level of socio-economic development of rural areas and the state of the main transport infrastructure. The study confirms that a well-developed transport infrastructure acts as a catalyst for economic growth in rural areas, providing access to markets, stimulating local production and attracting investment. However, using the example of assessing the condition of highways in federal districts, it was revealed that the current quality and length of transport routes have only a minor impact on the economic growth of territories. Taking into account the specificities and needs of rural areas, an integrated approach to the development of transport infrastructure is of great importance. The author concludes that a possible solution to the problem of rural depopulation through the development of road transport infrastructure, as well as its impact on achieving a high level of food security in the country.
