Economic losses caused by administrative barriers to enterprise activity
The Russian Government which is set to promote the economic growth has prepared a draft law aimed to ease the bureaucratic burden on enterprise activity. The paper examines corrupt administrative ways and the losses inflicted by them on public. By the author's estimate, the increase of retail prices alone which is the consequence of regular extortions of money from businesspeople costs the public 18 billion rubles per month at the average which exceeds revenues of consolidated budgets from income tax on physical persons collected in 2000.
