3:18 pm
to become more efficient business need to be modernized we need new technology in manufacturing. so i am assuming we look to. one area where new technology is already in use is in russia's oil and gas industry the energy sector is hugely important for the country's economy accounting for almost sixty percent of exports in other areas though russia struggles to compete on the global market as in the past several years the government's focused on promoting major industries some would say to the neglect of small to medium enterprises government spending has risen to seventy percent of g.d.p. . this big gold rush made it possible to put painful but necessary reforms on ice reforms are always associated with risks because they lead to a temporary drop in the standard of living in the. german investors
3:19 pm
appear willing to do business in russia many of them are bringing new technology with them too there are challenges though. ones eat does your nothing for ranch remains an obstacle here in russia but not as much as it was ten to fifteen years ago corruption has slipped down the ranks to place for five in terms of disruption to business this is definitely a very positive trend the biggest problem is too much red tape and a lack of financing. or wouldn't be feeling to finance your own borrowing money is still expensive in russia the banking sector has been in crisis mode for years. russia's military operations abroad in places that just syria are also expensive money for modernizing infrastructure at home remains scarce. as russian celebrate the arrival of spring analysts are wondering what putin will do to foster a new era of economic growth. let's talk

a bit about this now joining me here in the studio fucka tyo from the association of german chambers of industry and commerce good to have you with us so from the german business perspective what is the state of the russian economy right now the mood among german investors has risen recently we have more than five thousand german companies very active in russia after yes three four years of an economic slump the mood is much better and economic growth is back again german investors are investing ok so what is this growth actually coming from what we've heard that the world bank expects russia to grow one point seven percent this year despite those ongoing and now even a new round of sanctions other having any impact at all. first of all we have a relaxation in gas and oil prices and russia is very dependent on
3:21 pm
commodities so for far the recovery is really as the ground on this recovery of commodities second is russia has improved in the ease of doing business in the index of the world bank by eighty ranks now it ranks by around about thirty fifth rank and that means a really improvement so there isn't an improvement in red tape and there is an improvement in establishing a business so things are bit better than previously so so clearly the business perspective is very separate from the political perspective here i mean we have a putin now a fourth term in the kremlin he wants to as he says himself revitalize the russian economy if you gave him some advise what would you say has to be on top of his to do list first of all the german and the international business
3:22 pm
related to russia was really affected by the sanctions of the european sanctions the u.s. sanctions and now we haven't shopped inning of the u.s. sanctions again so this brings really worries to german business and this is due to a concentration of russian business to some league arks which is still the case so they need to be a more decentralization of the russian economy to other business people open up the business break up not only concentrated to oligarchs and the second is research and development and education you don't have a middle stand as a me this is due to a lack of productivity although the labor the workers are really stick to their companies we miss productivity and for that we need for instance book asian education and training all right so this fall the trial from the association of german chambers of commerce and industry thank you so much for being in the studio
