Competitiveness of Russian Non-Resource Non-Energy Exports of Upper Processing Stages to the EAEU States

Aim of the research. The article considers the problem of competitiveness of Russian non-resource non-energy exports of higher processing stages to the EAEU state. The structure of Russian exports to the EAEU states, the dynamics of changes in the competitiveness of both exports in general and in individual commodity categories are analyzed. The purpose of the study is to determine the competitiveness of Russian non-resource non-energy exports of higher processing stages to the EAEU member states. To achieve the aim of the research, the author used a modified product competitiveness matrix as the main method for assessing export competitiveness, and the export competitiveness index (XCi) as an additional method. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that Russian exports to the EAEU countries have a higher level of diversification relative to Russia's total exports. It was also identified that the level of competitiveness of Russian non-resource non-energy exports of higher processing stages in 2021 remained at the 2015 level, despite changes in export competitiveness in some commodity categories. However, it was also revealed that Russian chemical, food and mechanical engineering products have sustainable export competitiveness in the markets of the EAEU states.
