“Support for the engineering industry was one of the priorities of the anti-crisis measures adopted by the Russian government in late 2008 and 2009. In addition to targeted assistance to specific companies – large companies we consider strategically important for the Russian economy – we also worked to stimulate demand for specific products such as vehicles and agricultural machinery… All these measures have helped Russia’s engineering industry get through the crisis essentially unscathed.”
