For
Russia- nearly 60% of its earnings are from energy exports, followed by
arms trade and civil nuclear technologies and others. Nearly 60% of its
exports are to Europe and 30% to Asian markets.
Economic
growth is sluggish and several government sectors lack the funds for
technological upgrades. Rules regarding private ownership were relaxed
after the reforms in early 90’s ; on formerly restricted areas of
defence and energy; the role of Russian private firms has been on the
rise globally.
But,
the country’s wealth disparity is believed to be one of the highest in
the world. For Russia-under Putin- the prime focus would most likely be,
getting the country’s economic uplift on track while also not entirely
embracing decentralisation. And in this journey, all friends and foes
would be evaluated under the light of maximum benefits to Russia.
