AbstractThe paper presents estimates of the economic dynamics of the Russian regions and regional growth quality indicators. To assess the quality of growth regional inclusive development index (RIDI) was used, based on the concept of inclusive sustainable growth. The index evaluates economic, social and environmental situation in the region. Comparison of the dynamics of GRP and RIDI showed that in the period 2001–2017, the economic growth of Russia and most Russian regions was accompanied by a downward change in RIDI. The interregional differentiation of RIDI andper capitaGRP indicators is further assessed. It is shown, that their dynamics are determined by various factors, therefore, in order to level the interregional differences between the RIDI and GRP, various regional policy instruments should be used.
