OREANDA-NEWSKrasnodar turned out to be the best city in Russia for entrepreneurship. Such data are given in the Forbes rating.

The capital of Kuban by a large margin became the leader in the category "Demography and housing". Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk took the second place among the most suitable cities for doing business — it showed high results in "Investments and infrastructure", "Small and medium-sized businesses" and "Income". Tyumen closes the top three — it scored maximum points in the category "Quality of life".

Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok, Kazan, Blagoveshchensk, Novosibirsk and Irkutsk also entered the top ten.

Forbes analysts have placed cities in the Moscow Region in a separate rating, so the region, together with the capital, attracts personnel and finances from all over the country. Krasnogorsk became the leader. Khimki took the second place, and Prominent took the third. Lyubertsy, Mytishchi, Korolev, Dolgoprudny, Domodedovo, Ramenskoye and Shchelkovo also entered the top 10.

Forbes has compiled the top 30 best Russian cities for doing business for the first time since 2013. The evaluation criteria are "Demography and housing", "Income", "Investments and infrastructure", "Personnel", "Quality of life", "Small and medium-sized businesses". The rating did not take into account St. Petersburg and Moscow. Ten years ago, Kaliningrad, Ufa and Krasnodar were among the top three.
