TECHNOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY OF THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY: FACTS VS. PERCEPTION

Realizing the Economic Potential of Russia
Panel Session

While commodities have been the dominant theme associated with Russia’s economic development over the last 15 years, analysts suggest that 70% of the value-added production in Russia is undertaken in technologically efficient industries, where standards are on a par with developed economies. How can these differences between public perception and expert opinion be explained and what are the objective facts? How do foreign partners assess the technological efficiency of the Russian economy?
