Business owners in Yakutia are requested to participate in a poll concerning the local business environment
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in Yakutia are facing challenges due to regional instability, infrastructure disruptions, and environmental risks, according to recent reports. These issues include periodic internet blockings that hinder digital communication and financial transactions, as well as severe flooding caused by heavy rains, which have resulted in evacuations and damage in key districts [3][4].
To address these challenges, the People's Front and the Public Opinion Research Agency (OPRA) of Russia are conducting an annual survey targeted at SMBs. This survey collects data on the obstacles businesses face, including funding, infrastructure, and regulatory challenges. By systematically gathering this information, the People's Front and OPRA aim to provide insights that inform policy recommendations aimed at improving the business climate and offering targeted support to SMBs in regions like Yakutia [1].
This survey acts as a feedback mechanism to understand ongoing problems and track the effectiveness of governmental and regional interventions over time. While the direct details on the findings of the latest survey in Yakutia are not yet available, the described regional challenges and the role of the People's Front and OPRA in monitoring business conditions suggest their survey serves as a key tool in identifying and addressing the hardships SMBs face, including infrastructural disruptions, funding difficulties, and environmental risks.
The survey is still ongoing and open for participation. Interested parties can take part by following the link: https://nk.onf.ru/surveys/ZqWo1o7WhVDQHJzM1J4GbjsL [2]
The survey is part of a broader initiative to support and develop SMBs in Russia. The recommendations from the survey will be directed towards the Russian Government for the effective implementation of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy" [5]. The survey's focus is on the existing norms of laws and their application practice in Yakutia, with the aim to propose solutions for entrepreneurs in the region [6].
In addition, the People's Front and "OPORA OF RUSSIA" are conducting a nationwide survey of entrepreneurs, with the aim to identify key challenges faced by SMBs across Russia [7]. The survey is an annual event, intended to provide insights into the current state of SMBs in Russia [8].
While the specific findings of the survey in Yakutia are not yet available, the ongoing survey offers a valuable opportunity for SMBs in the region to share their experiences and contribute to the development of policies aimed at improving the business climate in Yakutia and across Russia.
The People's Front and OPRA aim to provide insights that inform policy recommendations, focusing on improving the business climate in Yakutia and addressing challenges such as funding difficulties and infrastructure disruptions, which are integral parts of the finance and industry sectors. By participating in the ongoing survey, entrepreneurs in Yakutia can contribute to the development of policies that impact their business in the finance, industry, and business spheres.
