Authorities and business discussed partnerships under sanctions

The Russian economy is acquiring a fundamentally different quality, starting to develop according to a new model, so the active, creative position of the business community is especially in demand now. This thesis was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP). The public meeting of the President with the heads of the largest companies was held for the first time since February 24, 2022. The theme of the congress was the theme of “partnership” between business and the state, “excellent” results of companies over the past year and “constructive interaction” on financial issues.

“Today in Russia, huge opportunities are opening up for almost any line of activity, for any business, for launching promising, long-term projects in the consumer market, in the high-tech sector, in tourism, and in many other sectors of the economy,” Putin said. At the same time, a number of systemic issues related to logistics, finance, infrastructure, and technology will have to be resolved, the president added.
