  • How to Invest in Russia 2019
    HOW TO INVEST IN RUSSIA THE AEB GUIDE TO INVESTING IN RUSSIA | FOREWORD HOW TO INVEST IN RUSSIA MAXIM ORESHKIN Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Dear colleagues, The key priority for the Government of the Russian Federation is to ensure favourable conditions for doing business. A comprehensive approach to the regulation of entrepreneurial activity ensured Russia’s rise from 120th place in 2012 to 31st in the World Bank’s Doing Business ranking. In 2018, the Business Climate Transformation mechanism was launched to manage systemic changes in the business environment. The key objective of this mechanism is to ensure rapid responses to the business community’s requests for the elimination of existing regulatory restrictions. The action plan of the Business Climate Transformation is reviewed twice annually with the direct participation of the business community, including the Association of European Businesses. Additionally, great attention is paid to strengthening the protection of legitimate business rights and mitigating the criminal law risks of doing business. The President of the Russian Federation has set the task of intensifying this line of activity. Another promising area is the development of a ‘regulatory guillotine’ mechanism to reduce the number of requirements. It is designed to create an adequate modern regulatory system meeting the requirements of technological development and based on the identification and effective mitigation of the most significant social risks. Thank you for your active participation in improving the Russian investment climate. We urge you to be even more active in developing and implementing systemic mechanisms to improve the business environment. We look forward to further fruitful cooperation.
