Krasnoyarsk Krai ranked 19th in business «mortality» for 2025. Over the year, 2,431 companies were created in the region, while 3,035 were liquidated. This means the number of firms decreased by 604, according to a rating compiled by the analytical group FinExpertiza based on Federal Tax Service data.

This is not a record in recent years when compared to previous data on openings and closures. Here is what the picture was earlier:

Initiative of owners (11.6%), including bankruptcy (2.3%).

Decision of tax authorities (88.4%). These are mainly companies with signs of fictitiousness or those that did not submit reports and did not conduct financial operations for a year.

Analysts clarified that the decrease in company «birth rate» is a trend in recent years, and it will persist in the near future. In 2026, entrepreneurial activity will be cooled by tax reform: VAT was raised from 20% to 22%, and the income threshold for its application was lowered.
