The article examines the factors of investment attractiveness in the regions of Southern Russia and evaluates their impact on the dynamics of investment in fixed capital. It has been established that the analyzed regions have a sufficiently high level of investment attractiveness and a favorable investment climate. In general, there are positive trends in the dynamics of investments in fixed assets in the regions of the South of Russia. The authors also consider the most common rating methodologies for assessing the investment attractiveness of Russian regions, presented by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the National Rating Agency. In general, the ratings assigned according to these methodologies show a consistent trend, except for the values related to the Republic of Kalmykia and Rostov Oblast. This may be due to differences in the set of evaluated factors and expert assessments. The obtained results led to the conclusion that despite the complex geopolitical situation and the influence of external crisis factors, the regions of Southern Russia have maintained their investment attractiveness due to a flexible regulatory framework in the field of investments and existing measures to support business.
