Economic pressure is often associated with implemented policies at the macroeconomic level, which leads to the formation of insurmountable barriers with the desire to increase investment activity. We can also talk about the difficulties that lead to a slowdown in the growth of economic indicators, which explains the further disintegration of the state and the mismatch of the structure of production and technological systems.
Economic pressure contributes to the consolidation of existing trends in the decline in financial indicators in the manufacturing sector. It can also lead to a reduction in production, investment and the overall security of the state. From the scientific literature it is known that maintaining a low investment rate leads to an acceleration of the degradation of the entire production potential of the state.
We must not forget about the problems associated with the rapid aging and depreciation of fixed assets (today their depreciation in industry is about 50%). This economic situation today is reflected in the difficult situation of such domestic sectors as mechanical engineering (depreciation over 50%) and the chemical industry (60%). Such a serious lag in updating the potential in production under the conditions of structural imbalance creates conditions that lead to the impossibility of forming integrity in production structures.
Modern economic policy should contribute to the sustainable development of those production and technological structures that may turn out to be structural elements of external reproduction circuits both in the form of raw material sources and in the form of energy and material-intensive semi-finished products. Also, the creation of such elements in the economic activity of the state will allow the use of global closed reproductive circuits that are responsible for servicing the consumption of imported finished products.
Economic pressure should be somewhat limited in order to achieve a certain equilibrium in the Russian economy. So, the modern structure of capital investments by two-thirds consists of investments in the fuel and energy complex. Therefore, existing trends in the disintegration of financial support and the absorption of its remaining elements by reproductive contours of an external nature will allow us to form such a characteristic of the structure of the domestic economy.
Here it will be possible to observe economic pressure on such export-oriented sectors of the chemical, metallurgical and fuel and energy complexes. This is primarily about the gas industry, non-ferrous metallurgy and the service sector in terms of trade in imported goods and servicing financial markets. Among the manufacturing industries focused on the domestic Russian market, the food and wood processing industries may be undeveloped. There will also be a sharp decline in engineering and knowledge-intensive industries.
