SPIEF: the trade show
Russia is the world’s fourth largest and Europe’s number one economy in terms of GDP. I am not talking about the per capita GDP, but about the sheer size of the economy. Still, this is a major milestone. Of course, achieving this result is not enough. It is essential that we consolidate our standing as a major economy by offering a business-friendly environment so that businesses from Russia and our friendly countries can invest their assets here, as well as upgrade and expand their manufacturing capabilities in Russia.
