"Despite the sanctions and the weak ruble": in Germany declared the return of the Russian Federation to world trade

According to the study of the King Institute of the World Economy, the number of containers arriving at the ports of the Russian Federation is growing and is almost at the level observed before the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine. The economic ability of the Russian Federation has intensified despite sanctions, which means that Russia is returning to world trade. It became known from the report of the King Institute of the World Economy, reports Business Insider.

According to the German analytical center, Russia's trade activity in August intensified, despite large -scale sanctions due to a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. "In Russian ports, the number of arriving containers is growing and, despite the sanctions and a weak ruble, is almost at the level observed before the beginning of the war," - reports the King Institute of the World Economy.

The calculations of the institute are based on the volume of goods unloaded in the three largest container ports of Russia-St. Petersburg, Vladivostok and Novorossiysk. The institute stated that it was unclear where the goods came from, but the activity in the ports of the country was "surprisingly high". "This happens, despite the sanctions imposed by the Western countries, and the fall of the ruble that is disappointed," Vincent Stamer, Head of the Kiel Trade Indicator, said in the report.

The Institute did not detail the volume of containers that passed through the three largest ports of Russia in August. However, a schedule was added to the report showing a percentage change in the number of container goods arriving up to the three largest Russian ports in annual calculation.
