A meeting was held today in the VKS format, where experts from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) shared their practice of assessing the investment climate in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the results of the National Rating.
The online meeting was moderated by Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Omsk Region, representative of the Omsk Region to the Government of the Russian Federation Andrey Shpilenko. Representatives of all executive authorities of the region, the Omsk City Administration and the Regional Agency for Development and Investment joined the discussion of topical issues.
The main topic of the meeting was the improvement of the investment climate in the Omsk region in order to enhance and consolidate the region's position according to the results of the National Rating. Earlier, the head of the region, Vitaly Khotsenko, set the task for the Government of the Omsk region to enter the TOP 10 regions of the country with high investment attractiveness.
So, during the VKS, ASI experts presented the methodology of the National Rating and discussed the current results of the Omsk region. We examined in detail the "bottlenecks" and effective ways to eliminate them. In the near future, it is planned to hold an in-person strategic session with ASI representatives for a more detailed and individual study of each National Rating indicator.
For reference: the national rating of the investment climate in the regions evaluates the efforts of the authorities of the subjects to create favorable business conditions and identifies best practices. The results of the rating stimulate competition for investments at the regional level. The final assessment of the national rating is based on 67 indicators in four areas: "Regulatory environment", "Institutions for business", "Infrastructure and resources", and "SME support".
