A pleasant sensation: the first place in Sevastopol in terms of the speed of upward movement. Sevastopol started only from 2016 a year to participate in the rating for obvious reasons. Sevastopol and Crimea initially occupied the last places in the ranking. The last two years have been very fast paced.

We learn from senior comrades who have achieved and are maintaining high performance. Moscow has been a partner for us since the first days. The most important thing is feedback, listening to business, and covid removed all the last barriers and brought us as close as possible to business. A big role in this and all business associations, colleagues quickly conveyed to us all the necessary information, and we could quickly make the necessary decisions. The second point is digitalization. We had nothing, everything was made from scratch. When we distributed the minimum wage with a single click, it caused delight , — said Mikhail Razvozhaev, speaking at the session.
During the covid restrictions, business was supported in Sevastopol: from all kinds of deferrals on taxes and rent to direct financial assistance. The 4 billion regional funds invested in this already at that moment gave a noticeable result: the dynamics of the number of SMEs was not lost, tax revenues to the budget were preserved and even slightly increased.
The rating methodology is based not on the volume of investments, but on the effectiveness of the work of regional teams in terms of creating working conditions for business , says Svetlana Chupsheva, General Director of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects (ASI). , explaining the principles of distribution of places in the ranking.
During the period of tightening sanctions, the Government of Sevastopol decided to introduce reduced rental rates for state property and land for the affected industries, for some positions (public catering) a threefold reduction in rates was made.
At the request of restaurateurs, next week we will make a decision on exemption from the fee for the placement of scientific and technical organizations for the verandas, Mikhail Razvozhaev said.
