Why is importing equipment vital?
49,3%
In the commodity structure of imports of the Russian Federation, the share of machinery, equipment and vehicles in 2021 was 49.3%
Historically, in the main areas of economic development of the Russian Federation, machinery and equipment from foreign manufacturers are used. For example, foreign-made equipment is widely used in the extractive industries, while in the commodity structure of Russian exports the share of mineral products, metals and wood in 2021 was 76.4% or $376,976 million.
The shortage of equipment and interruptions in the supply of spare parts directly affect the country’s economy. The events of the last two years have exposed a serious problem with supplies, and, despite significant improvements in terms of the production of domestic equipment, Russia will not be able to do without supplies from abroad for a long time.
