Kudrin says state must reduce administrative pressure on business

SOCHI, Feb 14 (PRIME) -- The government must reduce administrative pressure on business multifold to decrease uncertainty that prevents entrepreneurs from making long-term plans, Alexei Kudrin, former finance minister and chairman of the Center for Strategic Research board, said on Wednesday.

“If we look through the latest polls, what is the major thing that affects business? It is uncertainty, uncertainty of the rules of the game, of the possible tightening the sanctions,” he said.

“The state should reduce administrative pressure on business significantly. In the next several years, we need to reduce the quantity of various bureaucratic documents substantially, multifold … This will become an opportunity for business to develop.”
