The document envisages joint work of BRDO and local authorities to improve the ease of doing business index in Dnipro (according to the Regional Doing Business rating) by implementing recommendations developed by BRDO experts.

Additionally, it is planned to provide support for small and medium-sized businesses: the #StartBusinessChallenge public information service will provide information on local regulatory acts regarding starting and running a business in Dnipro, as well as contact details of regional offices of local authorities.
