Economy of Moscow: the main branches

The share of the capital makes up more than 20% of the country's gross national product . In Moscow there are head offices of the majority of the largest enterprises of various spheres. Despite the fact that direct enterprises of the extractive and processing industries can be located at the place of processing of raw materials or its extraction, it is in the capital that top managers and the board of directors make decisions. According to the legislation of Russia, in such institutions a large share of tax deductions falls on the capital budget. Many branches of the economy of Moscow work according to this scheme. In nominal terms, the budget of the main city of Russia is greater than the sum of all budgets, for example, taken together by the Baltic republics or one Ukraine. However, it is three times less than in New York.

Touching upon this topic, it is necessary to recall the situation with Ukraine. Because of the conflicts with this country, Moscow's economy began to experience certain difficulties at some points, but politicians carefully monitor the situation and do their utmost to prevent it from getting out of control.

Population, enterprises and other important objects

The enterprises of the military-industrial complex are concentrated in Moscow. The capital of the country is the largest engineering and design center. Most enterprises with foreign direct capital have their headquarters in Moscow. Also here are the embassies of all states with which the Russian Federation has diplomatic relations.

By the number of retail and retail enterprises per capita, the capital is in the top five of the world's cities. The Ministry of Economics of Moscow is constantly making accent on this. According to Forbes research, stores with prefixes such as mega, super, and mall ending in the name are most concentrated in the capital of Russia and adjacent territories near the Moscow Ring Road. Also, according to the studies of the same publication, the largest number of billionaires live in Moscow.

Tourism

The economy of Moscow is densely based on tourism. It is worth noting that this industry is actively developing. According to data for 2015, more than 5 million foreign tourists crossing the Russian border, Moscow is the main purpose of the stay. Holding annual economic, business, cultural and sports forums promotes the construction of new hotel complexes, the lack of which is acutely felt in the so-called "high" tourist season. Of course, Moscow's economy is only getting stronger from this.

Significant enterprises

Among the enterprises, the share of allocations of which to the budget both regional and federal is highest, it is possible to note such organizations:

• Moscow Oil Refinery.
• Avtoframos (production of Renault cars).
• "Trehgornaya manufactory."
• "Moshimfarmpreparaty" them. Semashko.
• "Red October".
• "Rot Front".
• Plant named after Likhachev.
• Sberbank.
• Moscow plant Electroshield.
• Moscow Tire Factory.

Transport

The economy of Moscow is growing stronger due to the fact that the capital has a developing infrastructure. According to the decisions of the government, shops and shopping complexes are being built to provide the population with basic necessities of step-by-step accessibility. Along with a large number of freight and passenger railroads, as well as rivers, most of which are tributaries of the Moscow River, the most pressing issue is the transport accessibility of certain areas of the city. The condition and capabilities of the roads built in the last century do not meet the requirements of the modern metropolis. Emerging new solutions only temporarily reduce the problem of permanent traffic jams. Specialists, called to solve such problems, are offered to find resources for the introduction of new types of urban transport, including intercity electric trains, trams and light metro lines.

Metro

The Moscow subway is called a separate territory in the city. Undoubtedly, without this type of transport, it is impossible to imagine the modern capital. Thanks to him, a balance is maintained between car owners and pedestrians, which makes it impossible to bring the situation on the roads of the metropolis to a critical one. The Moscow economy does not depend very much on this type of movement, but the presence of a huge metro indicates the city's development.
