Opening the meeting, Sergey Chemezov noted that industrial production shows steady growth in the face of external challenges. "We have been living under large-scale economic sanctions for more than a year and a half. Russia, despite the difficulties, continues to move in a given vector. The results of the structural adjustment of the economy are already clearly visible. The industry has reached the pre-war level of the beginning of 2022 and has continued to grow since the spring of this year. We are talking not only about the state defense order, but also civil industries: with the departure of foreign companies, domestic manufacturers have gained niche advantages and are increasing output, expanding its range. This is facilitated by the operational decisions of the president, the government, legislators, as well as the initiatives of the largest industry association – the Union of Machine Builders of Russia," said the head of Rostec.
Sergey Chemezov stressed that the expert structures of the Union and the League are one of the most important tools for the implementation of industrial policy. "We are also looking for new approaches, including within the framework of the work of our expert structures," he explained.
