Russia's Non-Energy Exports Outperform Forecasts in 2025
Roman Chekusov, Russia's deputy minister of industry and trade, made the disclosure at an event in Moscow, noting that non-energy export revenues maintained their upward trajectory with nearly all non-energy sectors registering growth. "The volume of non-energy exports rose around 5% versus the estimated figure," Chekusov said.
However, the broader trade picture told a more complex story. Russia's foreign trade surplus narrowed by 8.2% year-on-year in 2025, settling at $139.3 billion, according to data from the Russian Federal Customs Service (FDS).
Total exports declined by $16.2 billion over the same period, landing at $418.3 billion, while imports contracted by $3.8 billion to $279 billion, FDS figures showed — pointing to simultaneous pressure on both inbound and outbound trade flows despite the non-energy sector's resilience.
