Since its independence in 1992, Russia has implemented liberalization policies that have transformed its national economic system from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. In addition to price liberalization reform, the Russian government has also pursued an important transitional policy of 'liberalization of foreign economic activity.' Although Russia began its 'liberalization' in 1992, it did not set up its 'Customs Tariff Law' until May 21, 1993. In 1995, Russia established the federal 'Law on State Regulation of Foreign Trade Activity.' Subsequently, governmental and legislative bodies promulgated related legislation, such as the 'Federal Law,' 'Decree of the President of the RF,' 'Decision of the Council of Heads of Governments of the CIS,' 'Act of the Government of the RF,' and 'Order of the Ministry for Foreign Economic Relations of the RF.' This study focuses on export policies during the transformation period of the Russian economy. To determine whether the Russian export system is now complete or not, I will discuss concrete measures connected to Russia's export regulations, focusing on quotas and licensing, export duties and VAT, as well as excise taxes on exported goods, control over repatriation of export revenues, and compulsory sale of foreign currency revenues. Finally, I will discuss the effects of Russian export policy on the stated goal of the 'liberalization of foreign economic activity,' including the integration of the Russian economy with the world economy and the transformation of the so-far unitary Russian export structure. |
