Highly competitive gives you the opportunity to attract investment, which is lacking in Russia today. The main task of the state is currently using existing competitive advantages, namely, the overcoming of the crisis due to the volume of the internal market, which can give a major stimulus to revive the economy. However, it is necessary to promote the growth of incomes of the population: the higher the income, the higher the purchasing power. Don't forget about small and medium business as the source of wealth. Entrepreneurs provided the competent public policy can create new jobs, to introduce high-tech development. Despite the fact that individual indicators Russia has good results in the Global GCI ranking, more problems than positive trends. If not promptly take steps to eliminate the economy on a new, innovative level, there is a risk damping economic growth and development of Russia in the colonial raw materials export, sample. Amid falling oil prices, it promises only problem.
