The President RB stated that since the last year the Government RB started conducting a new policy, aimed at opening of new possibilities for people to go in for business and for the enterprises it offered new opportunities for development. The President RB mentioned that for a long time the Republican authorities were running along the way of isolationism, when it was considered that the Republic was able to cope with everything self-dependently, while other regions started active development. As a result Bashkortostan today represents a powerful region with stagnating economics.

“In order to find the way out of this situation today we need new enterprises and investments, so the Republic declared the policy of openness” - Rustem Khamitov stated.
