Russian businessmen are invited to assess the conditions of doing business in the country

Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) with the participation of non-commercial partnership «Leaders Club» and associations of entrepreneurs has launched a survey to assess the effects of the implementation of the National entrepreneurial initiative’s «road map» (NEI).

The implementation of the NEI has started 2.5 years ago and was designed to radically change the conditions of doing business in Russia. Entrepreneurs have an opportunity to identify administrative barriers and initiate changes in legislation. As a result, in the ASI site was developed 11 «road maps», which are then approved by the Russian Government. In total, it is about 160 laws, 50% of which have already been adopted by the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

Innovations identified in the «road maps», affected almost all important business areas: the connection to the grid, the registration of legal persons and property rights, construction, customs regulation, access to the procurement of state-owned companies, etc.

To evaluate the effectiveness of innovations implementation adopted at the legislative level «Leaders Club» regularly holds «test purchases» in some regions of the Russian Federation. As a «mystery shopper» entrepreneurs register the companies, get a building permit, connect to the power grid, etc.

Survey – another very important tool for evaluating the effectiveness of law enforcement. The most active participants of the survey will be able to join the ASI working groups and to offer their own versions of the development of entrepreneurship in Russia. Results of the survey will be compiled and made publicly available on the ASI official information resources. A detailed report on the results will be submitted to the Government of the Russian Federation.

Online voting started on August 13 and will run until 5 September 2014. Fill in electronic forms on our website Инвестклимат.РФ.
