On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the VTB RUSSIA CALLING! Investment Forum. Since 2009, the event has been a platform for discussing macroeconomic trends and strengthening financial sovereignty. It draws a prestigious audience of government representatives, corporate leaders, and investors annually.
Attempts to deliver a strategic defeat to Russia, particularly in the economic sphere, have failed, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Economic Growth and Resilience
Putin highlighted
robust economic growth, with GDP increasing by
4.1% between January and October 2024. He noted that growth is concentrated in high-value sectors, with manufacturing industries expanding by
8.1%."This year ... Russia's economy will grow... around 4%," he stated, addressing the forum.
He also praised investments in fixed capital, which have grown for the third consecutive year, and highlighted efforts to strengthen the stock market by attracting investors from friendly countries.
Strengthening Technological Sovereignty
Russia is making strides in technological development, particularly in its financial sector. Putin emphasized the successful implementation of a national digital infrastructure, a competitive advantage compared to countries like the EU and
Australia. He announced plans to enable nationwide digital ruble settlements by July 2025, signaling progress toward financial independence.
International Relations and Partnerships
Putin stressed the importance of strengthening ties with prospective partners, particularly
China, Russia’s largest trade partner.
"Our relations with China are developing regardless of the events that take place in Ukraine," he noted.
While reinforcing ties with allies, he expressed hope for the normalization of relations with Western countries, adding, "We also have an interest, of course."
Western Companies and Economic Decisions
Discussing Western companies, Putin reiterated Russia’s open-door policy.
"We did not expel anyone, we did not push anyone out of our market," the president said.
He also criticized US actions in
energy relations with Europe, describing them as "not very allied" and blaming them for worsening Europe’s economic struggles. Citing Volkswagen’s departure from Russia, he called it a "mistake" that led to significant losses for the company.
Broader Global Challenges
Addressing global economic trends, Putin underlined Russia’s role in adapting to a changing world. He remarked on "qualitative structural changes" in the Russian economy, including developments in logistics and production capabilities. He also touched on economic decisions, stating they should prioritize sovereignty over politics to ensure sustainable growth.
