«Presumably, the damage to the capital's business amounted to several tens of millions of rubles. But the exact figures, of course, have yet to be estimated,» he said.
With such an abundance of precipitation, according to him, several areas of business in Moscow suffered at once. «First of all, transport and logistics, since the rain caused problems in traffic, delays in the delivery of goods and increased costs for servicing vehicles,» the head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry noted.
The bad weather has taken its toll, he added, on businesses offering outdoor services, such as cafes and restaurants with a summer terrace. The downpour also had a negative impact on the operation of attractions, the construction or repair of facilities was shifted.
“Among other areas is retail: bad weather scared away buyers and reduced the number of customers, which led to a decrease in sales. That is, we are also talking about lost revenue,” Katyrin emphasized.
«At the same time, once again, entrepreneurs showed their social responsibility. Thus, couriers delivered goods without interruption, and the owners of establishments, for example, restaurants and retailers, let citizens wait out the bad weather,» he concluded.
