Russia – limited international economic relations

Russia's low level of involvement in the global economy through trade and direct investment is an advantage in the current crisis. This is because the effects of weakness in the Russian economy on other countries should remain limited. Even though the crisis in the Ukraine has led to increased volatility on the Russian financial markets, no lasting economic setbacks have been forthcoming so far. However, negative effects on investor confidence and on the risk assessment of conducting business transactions with Russia will be felt in the long term.
