REFERENCE
National Regional Investment Climate Ranking is created by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives along with major business unions and assesses the efficiency of work of regional authorities in the sphere of forming beneficial business environment. In 2017 it will cover all regions for the first time and will provide for the analysis of the investment climate in dynamics (in 2016 the research took place in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation, but Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Areas, the Republic of Crimea, and Sevastopol were evaluated outside the rating).
