ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF RUSSIAN GOODS AND SERVICES IN THE DOMESTIC MARKET

Abstract

In the article, the author pays attention to the problem of the competitiveness of Russian goods and services in the domestic market and points to the country's import dependence in goods from key sectors of the economy. The article analyzes and summarizes statistical data on the import commodity nomenclature, which show the deformation of the Russian economy towards the exploitation of fossil resources and dependence on foreign high-tech products and services. The author identifies three main import items that have not changed for a decade. The article proves that everything that Russia cannot sell on the foreign market, Russia buys. In this case, an exchange of non-reproducible natural rent for a reproducible intellectual rent takes place. The author points out that the considered trend of commodity exchange brings Russia closer and closer to the «banana republic» model.
