Russia has some priorities for economy: energy efficiency, nuclear energy, information products, and pharmaceuticals. Russia is the world's largest exporter of natural gas, because Russia has a lot of that.

The economy has four sectors. The primary sector includes agriculture, mining and timber. The secondary sector covers oil refining, steel production and car manufacturing. The third sector deals with education, tourism, and transport. The fourth sector includes software development, scientific research, and IT services.

To grow, Russia must attract investments, develop new technologies, and support its labour force. If the country requires new technologies and supports innovation, its economy will become strong and stable.
