Reshetnikov declared the success of the Russian economy despite the sanctions

The Russian economy is no longer dependent on the export of resources, against the background of which it has become a complex mechanism that effectively withstands sanctions pressure. This was announced on September 2 by Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

"Our economy has not been a resource economy for a long time, it has long been a very complex mechanism, because no resource economy could withstand all these tens of thousands of sanctions," he said in a conversation with RBC.

According to Reshetnikov, Russia has a "complex economy." Its resource part is highly diversified, but it is very effective.

"Because we would have long ago become the last supplier in the market, which has the highest cost, taking into account all the sanctions and other things, discounts, and would have been out of the market long ago, we could not export anything," he stressed.

Should we expect records from the forum and how it develops international cooperation

In early August, Reshetnikov reported that the Russian market had become freer after the departure of Western companies, which opened up new business opportunities for Russia and Central Asian countries. According to Reshetnikov, the sanctions pressure has become an incentive for the restructuring of trade, financial and economic ties. As a result, Russia's cooperation with Central Asian countries has grown.
