According to data for the period from January to September, in the Russian Federation the number of liquidated companies almost doubled the number of new registrations. During this period, 208,000 factories were eliminated, with the rate of business closures increasing compared to the previous year. In 2026, in only one industry - mining - the number of participants in the new market exceeded the number of exits. In 2025, a similar situation will also be observed in the fields of health and social services as well as in culture and sports. The increased pressure on businesses stems from the long-term maintenance of a high key interest rate, as well as the tightening of control measures aimed at legalizing economic activity.
