The current level of normative legal regulation is shown. The main legislative acts that regulate the issues of creation and functioning of preferential regimes are given. Peculiarities of realization of intermunicipal and interregional projects and their connection with the functioning of preferential regimes are indicated.

General information on the stages of functioning of special economic zones in the Russian Federation is given. Particular attention is paid to the issue of effectiveness assessment of special economic zones and measures for relevant mechanism improvement. At the same time, the issue of the effectiveness of preferential regimes is analyzed, and measures for corresponding mechanism improvement are suggested. In particular, it is suggested to ensure a comprehensive analysis of performance: to assess not only the degree of achievement of individual indicators, but also to monitor the achievement of the goal of creating territories with preferential treatment.
