Against the background of the situation developing with the global pandemic of coronavirus infection, the Russian Export Centre (REC) has initiated the creation of an anti-crisis headquarters.
It is organised for providing operational support to exporters and tackling problems arising from the breakdown of foreign trade chains due to quarantine in many countries, as well as for collecting and considering incoming requests from exporters. The anti-crisis headquarters will analyse changes in export geography and identify potential markets for Russian exporters. An analytical platform will be created within the headquarters to promptly identify export niches, verify the opportunities of new export deliveries due to changes in the international trading environment.
The REC, acting as an agent of the Russian Federation Government on a number of subsidiary programmes, has developed, in close cooperation with business associations, a package of amendments to the legal acts regulating the provision of support for the implementation of the corporate competitiveness improvement programmes (CCIPs) and logistics subsidies for redesigning mechanisms under priority targets of rendering support to exporters in the current economic situation.
