According to him, doing business here is more interesting. “We have more opportunities; running a business at home is more reliable,” the Kremlin speaker said.

Peskov noted that the dynamics of the Russian economy provide more opportunities for business. And indicators such as tax collection and the number of new small and medium-sized businesses really indicate that business life in the country is developing very dynamically.

According to Peskov, the authorities have said before that the process is multidirectional in nature: those who left after some time return back.

This is a normal process: someone leaves, someone comes,” he concluded.
