The congress is part of Russian Business Week, an annual event which the RSPP is holding for the seventh time now. Topics to be discussed at the plenary session include de-offshorisation of the economy and making business more transparent, raising labour productivity, improving labour laws, and creating a better investment climate.
The congress will also see the signing of a cooperation agreement on organising and conducting a national rating of the investment climate situation in different Russian regions and approval of candidates who will make up the committee that carries out the rating.
The agreement will be signed by representatives of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, Delovaya Rossiya (Business Russia), OPORA Russia, the RSPP, and the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
