Omsk Region Governor Alexander Burkov shortened the deadline for reviewing business applications to 10 days.

On March 25, a decree was signed by the Governor of the Omsk region, according to which the deadline for reviewing appeals from business associations was reduced 3 times – from 30 to 10 days.

According to the regional Ministry of Economy, this decision is the result of the implementation of the agreement signed in December last year between the Government of the Omsk Region and the Omsk Regional Union of Entrepreneurs. One of the points of this agreement is to increase the efficiency of interaction between government authorities and business associations, as it is often important for the business climate not to have a formal and maximally prompt response from regional authorities to emerging problems in the small and medium-sized business sector. On the other hand, as part of a comprehensive appeal, an entrepreneurial association assumes responsibility for issues that are characteristic of a number of business entities and require systemic and in-demand solutions from the authorities. Thus, the regional Government and business associations are building a constructive dialogue and an effective direct communication channel.

The implemented initiative to reduce the time required for reviewing business development applications is one of the elements of improving business conditions within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurship and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiative."
