The Importance and Challenges of Implementing Technology Export Promotion Policies in the Russian Federation

The study examines the significance of technology export promotion policies in the Russian Federation, high-lighting the challenges encountered in their implementation. Export promotion policies, particularly those tar-geting processed products, are indicative of a nation’s economic competitiveness on the international stage. However, these policies also function as subtle mechanisms for regulating geopolitical and geoeconomic mat-ters. In recent decades, their role as a tool for advancing political interests through influence on specific nations has intensified, underscoring the interconnectedness of economic and political objectives. While Russia is ac-tively striving to stimulate technology exports, a structural analysis reveals unresolved issues pertaining to ex-port customs procedures, value-added tax (VAT) refunds, and an aging transport and logistics infrastructure. Overcoming these impediments is crucial for the sustained development of exports in the context of import-substituting industrial development.
