Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin held a strategy session on improving the investment climate. In the field of control and supervisory activities, it has been possible to reduce the administrative burden on businesses by 4 times since 2019. Scheduled inspections are now conducted only for high-risk facilities, and the mechanism for pre-trial appeals of decisions has been expanded.
In the tax sphere, a deduction has been introduced for capital expenditures in investment projects and a single reduced insurance premium rate has been established for SMEs in the manufacturing industry. The simplified procedure for re-registration in special administrative regions has already attracted 500 companies that have changed their foreign jurisdiction. "An investment standard has been introduced at the regional level, SPIC and NWPC mechanisms are in place, and the Transformation of the Business Climate program is being implemented. Investments in fixed assets increased by 7.5% in real terms, while investors continue to systematically finance Russian projects. The plans include the formation of a National model of targeted business conditions with the creation of 11 working groups in priority areas. The model will take into account the best international practices and determine the main directions of economic development for the next 5 years.
