Economy

Despite being rich in natural resources, the economy of the district has suffered in recent years. The severe climate and poorly developed infrastructure are partly to blame but the difficult transition from Soviet times has led to the collapse of a number of companies with the result that many inhabitants have left the region.[4]

The main industries of Susumansky District are gold and coal mining.

Politics

As of 2006, the Head of Susumansky District was Alexander Nikolayevich Talanov.
