In recent years, the economies of the CIS countries have demonstrated significant growth and transformation. After 2022, a significant development impulse has been observed, reflected in a stable increase in population incomes, improved living standards, and significant changes in the consumption structure. These processes are accompanied by the active development of the investment climate: the number of large investment projects is growing, and the volume of investments from both state and private investors is increasing. All this creates favorable conditions for expanding business activity, introducing innovations, and strengthening the entrepreneurial environment.
Traditionally, for Russian manufacturers, the markets of the CIS countries were perceived almost as domestic and were an important part of the common economic space. However, the dynamics of recent years have shown that the situation is becoming more complex and competitive. Pressure from external players, particularly from China and the USA, is intensifying in the region, and the development of their own production capacities is actively underway. This requires Russian companies to search for new approaches and adapt to changing conditions.
What steps should be taken to preserve and enhance the competitiveness of Russian goods and services in the markets of neighboring countries? What strategies and mechanisms for supporting economic growth in the CIS states will be most effective?
