Titov: business expects Putin’s message to announce a course on freedom of enterprise

Tomorrow, February 21, will take place Message from President Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly. Business Ombudsman Boris Titov said that entrepreneurs expect the message to announce a course towards freedom of business and the removal of regulatory barriers.

“Business is waiting for the President’s message to announce a course towards freedom of enterprise. It is important not only to maintain the basic conditions – the same taxation, but also to remove all new regulatory barriers. For example, to extend the moratorium on inspections on an indefinite basis,” shared with “RIA News” his expectations from the message, Mr. Titov.

According to Anatoly Aksakov, the president should talk more about the development of the social sphere and the economy. “I think that we need to talk more not about the special operation, this is the result that we already have, but about the development of the economy and the social sphere. Of course, there will be talk about new territories, about a changed world, but still, the main thing is the economy, and against the backdrop of the economy, the development of the social sphere,” said Mr. Aksakov.

Vladimir Putin has not met with business representatives for almost a year – the last such meeting took place on February 24, 2022, the day Russian troops entered Ukraine. According to the Vedomosti newspaper, in March the president will participate at the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
