Deals worth 3.8 trln rubles signed at Eastern Economic Forum - dep PM

VLADIVOSTOK. Sept 15 (Interfax) - Deals worth 3.838 trillion rubles were signed at the Eastern Economic Forum that took place in Vladivostok on September 10-13, Deputy Russian Prime Minister and Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said.

"A total of 373 agreements worth 3.818 trillion rubles were signed," he said at a press conference during a TV link-up between Moscow and Vladivostok.

"We're not saying that deals worth 3 trillion [were signed] and that projects costing 3.8 trillion rubles will be carried out. This will probably not be the case. The agreements yield about 70% for us," Trutnev said.

Investment agreements worth 173 billion rubles were signed for the Amur region, 76 billion rubles for the Trans-Baikal territory, 72 billion rubles for the Khabarovsk territory and 56 billion rubles for Primorye, he said.

Trutnev said more than 7,000 people from 62 countries attended the forum, compared with 63 countries last year.
