Doing Business with Russia
Book your placeRussia is the UK's 12th largest export market, with historically strong performance in the field of engineering, financial services, ICT, power and energy and sports and leisure infrastructure. Over the past few years, trade between Russia and the UK has increased significantly. Exports of UK goods were valued at GBP4.1bn in 2008 - an increase of 46% on 2007 figures.
Russia has not been immune to the global economic crisis and, in line with other high growth markets, forecasts for economic growth are down. However, despite this, Russia's fundamentals remain strong in the medium to long term even if growth does dip. Russia's massive potential will be enhanced further if Russia pushes through a range of institutional and economic reforms necessary to complete the transition to a stable, rules-based economy.
