The experts of the Strelka Centre for Urban Economics conducted a research and found out which cities are most capable to resist the crisis provoked by the spread of coronavirus.
When compiling the rating, the experts relied on what is the share of tax revenues in the city budget. The more autonomous the city’s budget and the more it has its own sources of income, the stronger its resistance to the crisis. Thus, in the ranking of the least vulnerable cities to the COVID crisis were Voronezh (1st place), Samara (2nd place), Rostov (3rd place), Kazan (4th place), and Perm (5th place).
