The regional economics enters in a period of growth. The indications for this come from the data for the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita of the population and the investments.

As a main motive power of the growth emerges the industrial sector. The strengthened dynamics of the sector is due to a re-orientation of the markets from internal to external. A main motive power of the growing volume of produced gross production is the growing export.

This concentration is two times bigger than the average one for the country.
