The article analyzes changes in the territorial and sectoral structure of the regions of the Russian Far East based on gross value-added indicators for 2021. The aim of the study is to identify the spatial features of the investment attractiveness of specific types of economic activity and to determine key development trends within the framework of state structural policy. The findings demonstrate that the formation of territorial production complexes is shaped by a combination of natural resource potential, favorable economic and geographical position, as well as infrastructural and demographic factors. It is shown that the investment attractiveness of northern regions is primarily associated with extractive industries, while southern regions benefit from transport and logistics advantages. The study concludes that strengthening manufacturing and infrastructure sectors is necessary to achieve a more balanced socio-economic development of the macroregion.
