OREANDA-NEWS. Foreign firms do not intend to leave the Russian market, Artyom Golubev, director of the Economics educational program at the North-Western Institute of Management of the RANEPA, said in a conversation with EADaily. In order to protect themselves from sanctions, they can transfer cases to a controlled person or company, he said.

Russia is the largest market in Europe, so abandoning it is hardly part of the plans of foreign companies,” Golubev said.

He added that when the market stabilizes, Chinese business activity will increase in Russia.

In turn, Roman Fainshmidt, senior lecturer at the Department of International Politics and Foreign Regional Studies at the Institute of Social Sciences of the RANEPA, considers it right not only to invite companies, but also to buy modern production technologies. Daniil Gonenko, Associate Professor of the Department of Economics and Finance of the Public Sector, IGSU RANEPA agrees with him. According to him, it is necessary to purchase ready-made designs of plants, equipment and seek the help of specialists for personnel training.

Earlier it was reported that the network of construction and household goods OBI will resume the work of its stores in Russia until the end of the May holidays. On April 27, a hypermarket on Khodynsky Boulevard will be the first to open in Moscow.
