Trade & Investment
Russia's is a diversified economy with a highly educated workforce, able to provide a market for a wide range of technologically sophisticated American products. Perhaps no other country is able to offer the United States as broad a range of partnership opportunities or capabilities for cooperation in every scientific or technical sphere. However, recent growth has derived in large part from natural resources — oil, gas, and metals — that have had a ready export market. Until recently, few of the profits of these industries were reinvested in Russia, but continuing political and economic stability has encouraged successful industrialists to seek investment opportunities in high-growth sectors within Russia — agribusiness, food processing, automotive, retail and telecommunication.
