RUSSIAN EXPORT CENTER

Strategic outlook

International markets are highly volatile, and specific development of non-resource exports would reduce impact of this volatility on the development of the Russian economy. The major factor in the export growth will be involvement of new exporters in the foreign economic activities and improving their competitiveness.

Establishment of globally competitive non-resource export support system is one of the main challenges our country faces. And the Russian Export Center offers financial and non-financial support tools to Russian exporters.

The Russian Export Center offering financial and non-financial support tools to Russian exporters has to become a bearing structure for the national export support and development national system.
Developing the non-commodities exports sector is a strategic direction for the country, and is an important tool to endure in a crisis economy and build a strong and sustainable economy.
REC offers its services to all the exporters of non-commodities' products, goods and services with no industry restrictions. REC aims at providing the exporting companies with continuous support from the proposal and planning phase all the way to the successful completion of the export contract and implementation and beyond – including the e-commerce channels.
