SHAPING A NEW ERA IN RUSSIAN INDUSTRY AND MANUFACTURING: DOMESTIC MARKET OR EXTERNAL EXPANSION?

17 June, 17:15–18:30

Can the combination of adverse external pressures and the corresponding introduction of import substitution policy measures drive the advancement of cutting-edge, world-class industries? Which sectors hold the most promise, and how can this be realized? What role should the government play in supporting Russia’s traditionally strong industries, and what should be left to market forces?
