The infrastructure of Russian industry, which is also a branch of the economy, is divided into two groups: mining and processing. Each industrial group, in turn, is divided into different industries.
Mining and processing industry groups
What is the industry? A branch in industry is a separate set of enterprises operating on the basis of the same technologies, producing homogeneous products and having a certain circle of customers.
Thus, the mining industry consists of industries for the extraction of metal ores, gas, shale, peat, oil, coal, etc. This also includes such industries as water supply, seafood production, forestry, and hydroelectric power plants.
The processing industry also has many branches. These are such industries as the production of chemicals, rolled products, metallurgy, woodworking, pulp and paper, food, light, film industry. As well as thermal power plants, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, automotive, military-industrial complex.
Russian industry
If we talk about the Russian industry as a whole, it should be noted that its share in 2009 in the total gross domestic product was 37%. And the employment of the population in the industrial sector in 2008 was within 31.9%. These figures characterize a fairly high level of total production in the country.
The Russian government currently pays the main attention to the development of basic industrial sectors and to increasing their competitiveness in the world market. The comprehensive development of the domestic economy has always relied on such industries of Russia as machine-tool manufacturing, energy, heavy, oil and gas, transport engineering, as well as the mining and metallurgical complex.
To support the increase in exports of products of Russian industrial sectors, a policy of equalizing competitive conditions for the entry of domestic and imported goods on the Russian market is currently underway. It also creates conditions for the export promotion of Russian goods.
State measures to stimulate industrial growth
To this end, the state has introduced a number of measures to regulate customs tariffs, including the adjustment of import duties on types of equipment and machinery if similar types of products are manufactured by Russian industry.
A variety of projects have also been developed for long-term state lending to enterprises from budgetary funds, as well as profitable leasing schemes for the acquisition of technological equipment, including the option of partial payment of a leasing payment by the state. This provides stimulation, therefore, of investments in the development of new industries, the modernization of technological processes and the creation of new technologies.
To stimulate the development of each industry, the project envisages introducing a tax incentive system for discussion, which provides for the introduction of a number of tax incentives for industrial production.
Thus, in the light industry, as well as the food industry, thanks to the policy of state stimulation and the creation of favorable market conditions, in 2012 the growth rate of production increased as much as possible. There has been a trend towards a significant increase in consumer goods export orders . And in investment goods there was a slight decrease in requirements. The current situation on the Russian market clearly contributes to the stabilization of the domestic economy and the creation of an opportunity to expand and develop the domestic production infrastructure.
