The new reality: Russia and global

challenges

23 September 2015, Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister of Russia

Attracting foreign investment should help resolve a specific problem: to ensure technology

transfer. Foreign investment should be viewed as more than just the financial resources

involved. Technology and know-how are worth more than that.

The tasks that we are facing:

- New technology and innovations introduced by small companies, among others, are

radically changing entire markets and sectors within short timeframes. This leads to

changes in market behaviour, including approaches to the implementation of major long-

term projects.

- Investment in infrastructure and in people should be considered among the top priorities.

Russian Federation Among Global Top Ten Improvers in Business

Regulation

Doing Business 2014:

In the past year, Russia took steps to make getting electricity simpler and less costly. It set

standard connection tariffs and eliminated many procedures previously required, reducing the

time needed to get a new connection by more than 40 percent and the cost by nearly 80 percent.

Russia also made starting a business easier in the past year, by abolishing in practice the

requirement to have the bank signature card notarized before opening a company bank account.

Russia made dealing with construction permits easier by eliminating several requirements for

project approvals and reducing the time required to register a new building. It streamlined

procedures for registering property and implemented effective time limits for processing

transfer applications. Finally, Russia made trading across borders easier by implementing an

electronic system for submitting export and import documents and by reducing the number of

physical inspections.

“Improving the investment climate is a top policy priority for the Russian authorities, and local

entrepreneurs are seeing the results,” said Augusto Lopez-Claros, Director, Global Indicators

and Analysis, World Bank Group.

Lessons that we can learn from Singapore’s experience

One of the lessons Singapore for Russia may be:
