INVESTMENT CLIMATE.
ASI STANDARD

The standard of the Russian constituent entity executive authorities’ activities to ensure a favorable investment climate in the region (hereinafter- the Regional Investment Standard, the Standard) is one of the basic projects of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), aimed at the introduction of the effective mechanisms, regulatory and legal foundation and best practices for creating a favorable investment and business climate in the Russian regions.

To monitor the Regional Investment Standard in each region, Expert Groups were created that included the representatives of ASI, businesses, the public and business associations which regularly monitor the regional authorities’ activities to comply with the Standard, as well as hold the public debate on the measures aimed to improve the business and investment climate.

Moscow is one of the leaders in creating a favorable investment climate.
