(Voice of Russia, Moscow, 29 April 2012) Prime Minister Putin has laid down guidelines to sharply increase the export of products other than raw materials. Over the coming five-year period, the export of engineering products alone should increase twofold. Putin’s Agency for Strategic Initiatives says that in 2013 the national list of manufacturing exporters will grow by 10%… To support manufacturing export bids, the Russian government has established a dedicated agency, named the Agency for Export Credit Insurance.
