He noted that, firstly, there is an increase in domestic demand caused by an increase in real incomes of the population.

"On the one hand, wages have now begun to grow, the state is actively indexing social benefits, and entrepreneurs' incomes are also recovering. On the other hand, people, having gradually restored their savings, begin to spend more. That is, the consumer model of behavior is returning, which leads to an increase in domestic demand," Reshetnikov said.

According to him, industry, services, trade, construction and transport are beginning to react to this. The head of the Ministry of Economic Development added that as a result, today there is an increase in production in many areas and an intensification of import substitution.

"Secondly, our exporters are adapting to the new conditions. As supply chains normalize, non-resource non-energy exports are also recovering. In addition, the investment figures last year turned out to be quite strong, and we expect them to remain in the positive zone in 2023. All this gave us the opportunity to improve our grades," Reshetnikov said.
