      The national project "Effective and Competitive Economy," initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has become the main tool for forming a new growth model. It includes federal projects aimed at developing small and medium-sized enterprises, increasing labor productivity, boosting investment activity, low-carbon development, and developing the state statistical and forecasting system. One of the main points of the national project "Small and Medium Entrepreneurship" was to create conditions for easy startup and comfortable business operation. Work to support entrepreneurs in this direction continues within the framework of the national project "Effective and Competitive Economy."
