New market study, "Russia Defence & Security Report Q1 2011", has been published

New Defense research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
 
Jan. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Russia's key defence plans are the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation (published in 2010) and the State Programme of Armaments (GPV-2015). These specify all aspects of military planning, expenditure and modernisation. Russia has up to now been an exporter rather than an importer of military hardware, but this is changing, especially with increasing multinational involvement.

Russia's economy can expect an export-led bounce in growth into 2011, with consumption and investment unlikely to return to robust growth until 2012. That said, we believe that rising real GDP per capita, a banking sector recovery, a stronger rouble and increased foreign investment into non-energy industries will set the stage for private consumption to become increasingly important to Russian growth over the medium term.

While we remain confident in our 2010 and 2011 forecasts of 4.1% and 4.3% GDP growth respectively, we do not see a return to pre-crisis growth rates, due to the sensitivity of Russia's manufacturing industry to Western export markets and international demand. The weak outlook on the European economy suggests that the manufacturing sector will continue to face macroeconomic headwinds, underpinning our medium-term economic growth forecast. We see growth averaging 4.4% from 2010-2014 which, though below the average 7.0% witnessed in the five years leading up to the financial crisis, nevertheless will make it by far the fastest growing G8 economy over the coming years.

President Dmitry Medvedev conducted a high profile visit to China on September 27, meeting with the country's Premier Wen Jiabao and vowing to step up bilateral cooperation. Wen later told journalists that China regards Russia as its 'most important strategic partner', while Medvedev and his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao attended a ceremony marking the completion of the Chinese-Russian crude oil pipeline. The relationship between the two countries has the potential to strengthen further - as trade links intensify and Moscow attempts to secure further energy contracts with Beijing - although obstacles in the relationship remain.

On September 28, President Medvedev dismissed Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov - a decision supported by the majority of the population. Medvedev fired the mayor owing to a loss of confidence, following programmes on state-controlled television accusing the mayor of corruption and favouritism towards his wife, developer Yelena Baturina. The mayor's dismissal has bolstered Medvedev's position in the near term, given that prolonged ructions could have seriously damaged the president's credibility. That said, we highlight that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's likely important role in removing Luzhkov will only serve to re-enforce perceptions that he remains the dominant power, raising further doubts about whether Medvedev will stand for re-election in 2012.
