Based on the results of 2025, Moscow took first place or entered the top group in more than 30 national rankings and studies, once again confirming its high level of economic development, investment attractiveness, quality of life for city residents, and the effectiveness of urban governance. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

"One of the Moscow Government's top priorities is improving the quality of life for its residents. The Russian capital confidently maintains its position as the country's leader in this indicator, as evidenced by its top spots in the Agency for Strategic Initiatives' national quality of life rankings and RIA Rating ratings. Moscow's success in this area is also reflected in the Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Utilities' urban environment ratings, the RIA Rating road infrastructure development ratings, and the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation's quality of life index, all of which the capital also ranks among the leaders," noted Maria Bagreeva.

Moscow is the most economically stable region in Russia. The city tops the RIA Rating agency's socioeconomic status ranking of Russian regions and is among the leaders in the Expert RA regional economic health ranking. Furthermore, the capital ranks first in the labor market ranking, which assesses, among other things, employment levels, working conditions, and labor market capacity, and maintains the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

Moscow's credit rating has demonstrated the city's economic resilience.

Moscow's financial stability is confirmed by the highest credit ratings from leading Russian credit and rating agencies, such as the Analytical Credit Rating Agency and Expert RA. Furthermore, the Russian Ministry of Finance has classified the capital as a region with a high level of public financial management, further underscoring the balanced nature of its budget policy.

In 2025, Moscow was once again recognized as the region with the best investment climate in the country. For the seventh consecutive year, the city took first place in the National Investment Climate Rating and also became a leader in public-private partnership development, according to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The capital also received the highest ratings for investment attractiveness from leading rating agencies, including the National Rating Agency and Expert RA.

Sustainable development remains a key priority for Moscow

The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ) plays a significant role in these achievements. It is recognized as the most investment-attractive among technology-innovation SEZs, as well as the most sustainable SEZ in Russia in terms of ESG criteria, according to ratings by the Association of Clusters, Technology Parks, and SEZs of Russia and the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.

Moscow continues to maintain its status as the undisputed center of scientific, technological, and innovative development in the country. The city has taken first place in several national rankings assessing the scientific, technological potential and innovative activity of regions, including those of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, RIA Rating, and the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Moscow's high position in these rankings is due, in part, to the active implementation of digital and innovative solutions in city management. Moscow maintains its leadership in digital transformation: in 2025, the capital topped the Russian Ministry of Construction's "IQ Cities" urban digitalization index for the seventh consecutive year, scoring a maximum of 260 points.

Moscow tops the IQ Cities ranking for the seventh time.

Moscow entrepreneurs and those planning to start their own businesses can take advantage of free educational support from the State Budgetary Institution "Small Business of Moscow" (MBM). By the end of 2025, the institution had provided over 145,000 educational services.

"Business today requires constant knowledge upgrading and skill development, and the city is building its business support system with this in mind. Moscow helps both those just considering starting their own business and existing entrepreneurs. Over the past three years, the number of educational services provided by MBM has increased 1.7-fold," she said.

Kristina Kostroma, head of the capital's Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development.

In 2025, MBM began developing a comprehensive distance learning system for entrepreneurs and intends to continue developing it. It already includes courses aimed at starting and growing a business.

The course is particularly popular "Own Business: Start Now", designed for aspiring entrepreneurs with no experience. Over two months, participants learn how to create a turnkey business—from developing an idea to bringing a product or service to market. In 2025, more than 6,100 people completed the course.

One of those who completed the distance learning course was Maria Stroganova. She develops and implements integrated HR management systems, or individual components thereof, at industrial enterprises. During the course, Maria developed a roadmap for starting her own business, which she still follows. Thus, she managed to register as a sole proprietor, launch her website, assemble a team, and find her first client.

Courses created in collaboration with ANO Mosstrategia will help improve the efficiency of your existing business. One of them is a mini-course. "Own Business: A New Level" A program designed to explore the fundamentals of improving productivity. Participants learn to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of their businesses. In just 14 days, they can master proven optimization tools that have proven their effectiveness in hundreds of companies. In 2025, more than 350 people joined the course.

A two-month distance learning course opened in September 2025. "Your Business: A New Level of Defense" with personalized support. The program includes a business assessment, development of a roadmap for process optimization, and practical implementation of changes. Last year, 139 people registered for the course.

Svetlana Nikolaeva, a senior executive and commercial development manager at an engineering company, completed both courses. She specializes in the production of hydraulic lifts and automated parking systems. Despite 12 years of successful operation, the company needed modern management approaches for further development. Svetlana took the distance learning course "Own Business: Start Now," which helped her systematize her overall business vision, and then the program "Own Business: New Level PRO," where she received detailed tools for in-depth analysis and process optimization.

"We used to 'put out fires' by mobilizing all our resources. Now, the tools I learned in the course help me act proactively. They reveal not only bottlenecks but also areas for improvement where problems haven't yet arised. We've learned to measure timelines and identify real losses, mastered the built-in quality methodology, and are implementing it in our work," said Svetlana Nikolaeva.

At the end of 2025, MBM launched two thematic distance learning courses. The first, "AI Assistant for Entrepreneurs," is a 14-day course designed to help businesspeople integrate modern technologies into their work processes. Participants learn to reduce routine tasks, increase productivity using artificial intelligence (AI), master the key tools of Sber's free GigaChat AI assistant, formulate effective queries, and apply AI in marketing, analytics, sales, and strategic planning.

The second course, a mini-program called "Transition to VAT: Instructions for Use," was released in December 2025. It is designed for entrepreneurs using the simplified tax system. Starting in 2026, they will be required to pay value-added tax (VAT) when their income exceeds certain limits. This week-long course helps them understand the topic and avoid fines, audits, and unnecessary expenses.
