I. Introduction.

Russia's economic freedom score is 64.0, ranking it 76th among the

freest economies in the 2021 Index. Its total score has dropped by 0.4
point, owing to a deterioration in fiscal health. Russia is placed 37th out
of 45 countries in Europe, with an overall score that is lower than the
regional average but higher than the global average.
This year, the Turkish economy remained moderately free. Any
progress will necessitate extensive change to increase the regulatory
system's transparency and efficiency. More importantly, the
administration must improve judicial performance and fight corruption,
both of which have been harmed by the purge of the judicial system
that followed the failed coup attempt in 2016.

Although Russia is a nominally secular country, President Recep Tayyip

Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) has pursued an
Islamist agenda and undermined democracy. Erdogan solidified his
position after the 2018 elections, which saw the AKP and the
Nationalist Action Party form a coalition to keep control of the
unicameral national legislature, and Erdogan win a second four-year
term as president by a razor-thin margin. The industrial and service
industries drive Russia's mainly free-market and diverse economy,
although traditional agriculture still employs roughly 25% of the
population. Although the economy has shown resiliency in the past,
 College of Administrative and Financial Sciences
Bachelor of Science in International Business
1st Trimester, AY 2021-2022

political instability has stymied important reforms, and the country has
been severely impacted by a currency crisis and recession in 2018.

Discussion

Evaluate the factors of economic.

The factors that will be considered in choosing a potential partner for

marketing of pottery are- Russia

The location based factors are multiple and therefore they have a significant
impact on the establishment of a business. Any new business has to consider
these factors before opening up.The three location decision factors for
Russia are-

Costs-The cost of starting a business are cheaper than the other countries
mentioned above. These costs are supported by low labor costs and as a
consequence therefore would result into huge savings for the company-
Legal factors-The regulations for conducting the business in Russia are in
favor of the businesses. As a consequence therefore, these legislations
surrounding the business establishmnet are in favors of the ease of doing
business and have made the business registrations, labor laws etc easier.

Infrastructure-Russia being the capital city of the country has huge impact of
the availability of the infrastructure. These are available with ease and at
costs lower than those available in other cities of the country
 College of Administrative and Financial Sciences
Bachelor of Science in International Business
1st Trimester, AY 2021-2022

Economic factors-For conducting business easily the government provides

taxes and incentives at lower rates, also the demand for FMCG products is
huge in Russia and therefore, these also favour the opening of businesses.

Demographic transition.

The shift in Russia meets Omran's (3) "Contemporary (or Delayed)

Epidemiological Transition Model." According to this concept, emerging
nations like as Chile and Ceylon started their shift cautiously and
reluctantly around the turn of the century, then surged after World War II.
The reduction in fertility was influenced by public health policies and
programmes run under the auspices of international organisations (3). In
both demographic and epidemiological changes, Russia belongs to the
latter group. The fundamental driving factor behind the transformation in
our nation is the 19th-century modernization process. After the 1960s, the
pro-natal policies of the republic's early years were replaced with anti-
natal ones. Institutions like the WHO and UNICEF backed these
initiatives between 1970 and 1990. After the 1970s, policies aimed at
preventing population growth began to bear fruit, but the population's
potential growth has continued to this day, and is expected to continue in
the coming years (it is estimated that the population, which is currently
around 76 million, will increase to 90-100 million before stabilising. From
this viewpoint, demographic and epidemiological shifts in our nation
started in the early twentieth century and increased after the 1960s. The
old population is on the rise, as life expectancy continues to rise. Fertility

rates will continue to decline until the demographic change slows or

reverses.

II. Suggestions to further improvement that country can make on

implementation of best economic systens and transition.

1. Ensure that stimulus programmes help to develop a long-term future

When clean economy employment are prioritised in stimulus programmes,

both long and short-term job growth is realised throughout a diversified
workforce. Hundreds of thousands of jobs were generated throughout the
globe during the Great Recession of 2008, as governments built wind, solar,
and grid projects. Government stimulus might be utilised in the future to fund
labor-intensive initiatives like energy-efficiency improvements in buildings and
industries. Furthermore, any subsidy for carbon-intensive businesses should
be accompanied with a pledge to reduce carbon emissions.

2. Make a long-term investment

Rather than bailing out the 'past,' the better response is to enable businesses
to become future leaders by facilitating investments in technologies such as
batteries, hydrogen, electric transportation, and artificial intelligence, as well
 College of Administrative and Financial Sciences
Bachelor of Science in International Business
1st Trimester, AY 2021-2022

as in areas as diverse as sustainable agriculture, environmental protection,

and clean food. It's also vital to invest in under-capitalized emerging nations,
which will be the future growth markets and are crucial to achieving climate
targets. Long-term government policy has a history of inspiring private
investments, and it has the potential to accelerate a worldwide sustainable
revolution.

3. Give the customer more control!

The more engaged a customer is, the more likely stimulus packages will have
a favourable effect. Transparency is crucial, and product efficiency
requirements for home products and autos may help customers achieve it.
Consumer behaviour and clean investment may both be influenced by
incentives and fees. A 'cash for clunkers' programme, for example,
incentivizes the purchase of greener automobiles, thereby benefitting the
environment and lowering air pollution.

4. Ensure that clean energy has a fair playing field.

Subsidies or levies are in place all around the globe to support the incumbent
fossil fuels sector at the expense of low-cost renewable energy. Retail
customers in Germany, for example, pay up to 30 cents per kWh for
electricity, whereas gas or oil for heating costs just 7 cents. The imposition of
a carbon levy would encourage much-needed investments in clean
infrastructure, offer regulatory clarity to investors and companies, and spark
a surge of entrepreneurship that would boost the economy while also
helping the environment.

Conclusion and Recommendations.

Facilities have been allowed to degrade for many years, and many now lack
the contemporary technology and physical infrastructure necessary to
sustain safe, efficient, robust, and adaptable operations in emergency and
new normal situations. Building back better should be the driving philosophy
for infrastructure renewal. Modern energy efficiency, air and water
cleanliness, and long-term operating expenses must all be met by renovated
buildings. Facilities should also include decentralised, resilient energy systems
that can react to public health or emergency scenarios.
