The national rating, prepared annually by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and New Projects, is based on statistical data, expert evaluations and surveys of business representatives. Based on the results of data analysis, Dagestan's integral index improved by 2.28 points at the end of 2023. The region has a potential to continue improving its position if all state agencies work in a coordinated manner, the republican prime minister said. According to the regional authorities, the national rating serves as a comprehensive tool for assessing the investment climate's attractiveness and the effectiveness of government efforts in this area.
