Russian Multinationals

Russian multinationals and the world economy

Russian multinationals are playing an increasingly important role in the world economy, particularly in some key sectors such as oil, gas, and metallurgy.

Differences from other multinationals

Russian multinationals differ in many respects from multinationals from other countries in that they often receive special treatment from the Russian government, and, because of past experiences, international investors are often reluctant to invest in them.

It discusses the rise of Russian multinationals, examines their activities in key sectors, analyses the relationship between Russian multinationals and the Russian government and between Russian multinationals and international investors, and concludes by assessing how Russian multinationals are likely to develop in future.
