Entrepreneur Viktor Fedorov advocates for the revitalization of the Council for Business in Yakutia.
Yakutia's Coordination Council for Entrepreneurship Undergoes Proposed Overhaul
In a bid to address the ineffectiveness and lack of response to business needs, a deputy in Il Tumen, Victor Fedorov, has proposed a radical overhaul of the Coordination Council for Entrepreneurship under the head of Yakutia.
The proposal, which includes renaming the council as the Investment Council, aims to make it more autonomous and efficient. Fedorov suggests reducing the number of members from 66 to 15-20, keeping only those who are actively involved. He also proposes providing the council with its own legal and analytical apparatus.
The current council, a public structure that unites entrepreneurs from across the republic, has been criticised for its inaction and failure to engage with real issues and laws or expert conclusions. The work of the council is not covered in the media, and many entrepreneurs are unaware of its existence.
Fedorov's proposal comes as participants of the council's presidium, including entrepreneurs, have expressed their dissatisfaction and called for radical reforms. They complain that the agenda is changed by "anonymous clerks," and the head's instructions are ignored for months.
The new Investment Council, according to Fedorov, would independently prepare analytical materials and ready-made decision projects for the republic's head. The council would also develop measures to support small and medium-sized businesses, and its recommendations would be advisory in nature.
Victor Fedorov is not the first to voice concerns about the council's inefficiency. He has highlighted ongoing issues such as high VAT, property tax, and credit rates at 30%. Officials have also been criticised for not attending meetings, despite promises made earlier by deputy chairmen Borisov and Semenov.
The new proposal is not just about restructuring the council but also uniting all scattered structures (chambers of commerce, clusters, councils) under the Investment Council. The participants of the council are preparing an analytical note for the republic's head, expressing their dissatisfaction and calling for a complete reboot.
The president of the newly proposed Investment Council of the Republic of Yakutia is Aisen Nikolayev. Fedorov concludes that business is tired of waiting and it's time for change. The Coordination Council for Entrepreneurship under the head of Yakutia is proposed to be rebooted.
