The Nizhny Novgorod Region, Khabarovsk Territory, Bashkiria, Novosibirsk and Omsk regions complete the study.

"Moscow continues to occupy a leading position, as its economy has a sufficient margin of safety and potential to maintain income growth ahead of inflation," Konstantin Kostin, the head of FoRGO, explained to Izvestia.

According to him, compared to the results of the fourth quarter of 2024, the most noticeable changes in the rating (up by more than three positions) were recorded in Tatarstan (+5) — it moved from 18th to 13th place; Tyumen Region (+3) — from 22nd to 19th place; Lipetsk Region (+9) — from 31st to 22nd place; Tula region (+4) — from 29th to 25th place; Samara region (+10) — from 38th to 28th place; Kaluga Region (+7) — from 37th to 30th place; Nizhny Novgorod region (+15) — from 46th to 31st place.

According to FoRGO, this was primarily due to an increase in average monthly salaries relative to the cost of a fixed set of goods and services.
