Russia is a responsible partner of APEC and fulfils all its obligations and consistently implements reached agreements, including those related to energy transition.
Russia continues to honour its key international agreements on an entire range of green agenda issues.

The situation on financial markets has stabilised. The inflation rate is slowing down, while our national currency is strengthening. In May, the rouble showed the best dynamics among all world currencies.
Unprecedented sanctions have been met with the provision of support to business and increased freedoms to enterprises inside the country.

Import duty rates for almost 15 percent of our imports have been reduced to zero. Certification procedures have been significantly simplified and customs procedures have been sped up.
