Surely you have heard lot of arguments about what Russia for many years, "sitting on the oil needle". Of course, the natural resources are a key part of Russia's exports. However, on one commodity trade is not an end. I suggest a look that Russia offers for export.
Science fiction? Do not believe me? Let's see together. First, a little tedious, but important numbers. Ie real facts, not speculation and fantasy. Here's how it looks on the general figures, according to the Central Bank for 2013:
Total 2013 exports of goods by 523 billion dollars. Service and 70 bln. Dollars. In sum, Russia has received from all export 593 billion. Dollars in 2013. Of these, crude oil was sold by 174 billion oil - 109 billion of natural gas by 67 billion liquefied natural gas to 5 billion. That is, hydrocarbons and its derivatives have been exported to 355 billion. Dollars in 2013. [Color = # 3333FF] It turns out that 238 billion dollars Russia has received in 2013 from exports of goods and services, in addition to oil and gas. [/ Color]
238 billion of non-fuel exports - a lot or a little? For comparison, the total export of all goods and services in Russia in 2004 was about 204 billion. Does anyone remember the 2004 economic apocalypse? No? This is because it was not. Somehow we were able to survive such a meager export. In recent years exports have been even lower - and nothing like the quinoa is not ate.
Moreover! There were times when a giant Soviet Union, with all its parasites in his time managed to somehow survive with dollar export order of tens of billions of dollars in terms of today. However, the result still ruptured and collapsed, because even hlebushek had borrowed to buy from Westerners because its not enough. However, Russia is itself is its world's largest exporter, so that the danger does not threaten - more on that below.
Of course, at the moment nothing good to expect from a possible fall in energy prices is not necessary - and of GDP, and the ruble falls, imports become more expensive. But this "crisis" is not even close to be comparable, for example, the crisis of 1998, since then the non-oil exports have been on the order of magnitude smaller than it is now. In the future, thanks to the effect of the devaluation of non-oil exports will be much more competitive (as happened in the 98th), not to mention the fact that domestic energy costs (heating, transport) fall sharply - if we stop exporting oil / gas. So the term was even used the best oil / gas did not sell - we have, and so has a lot to offer in the global market. Admittedly this is not possible with today's regime, of course, that's a separate conversation sad. But let us return to what we have now:
From what they add up 238 billion. Dollars the Russian \ "non-fuel \" export? To begin with, it is 70 billion. Export of services: transport, tourism, financial, consulting, computer, technology, education, construction, etc. It is known, and is generally non-oil exports of Russian high-tech, often Russian companies appear among the world leaders, or have unique competence in the global market of services in their respective industries.
