OREANDA-NEWS. September 19, 2014. The Analytical Center of SME Bank (Vnesheconombank Group) has prepared a research “Index of Quality Conditions for SMEs in 2012-2013: Regional Imbalances”.

“We understand that the efficiency of SME support in the regions of Russia depends not only on the efforts of our bank and other institutions, but also on the business environment.

That is why it is very important for us to collect information on business climate in the regions and to understand the differences, - pointed out Sergey Krjukov, Chairman of the Board of SME Bank. – Unlike most of other similar studies, our one covers all Russian regions and provides dynamic and comprehensive analysis of the level of SME conditions”.
