Non-resource non-energy exports of Russia reach $66.5 billion in 5M 2026 The target value for non-resource non-energy exports for the year was set at $155 billion, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Roman Chekushov notedMOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. Russia's non-resource non-energy exports in January-May of this year, according to preliminary data, amounted to $66.5 billion and approached the target six-month volume, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Roman Chekushov told reporters on the sidelines of the Russian Retail Week forum. "We already have preliminary data for five months. They, of course, will still be adjusted in the process, but at the moment the volume of non-resource non-energy exports from January to May reached $66.5 billion. We have already approached even the six-month target, because in 6 months we have the target of $69.4 billion," he said. There is a reason to expect the figure above the target for the first six months of this year, Chekushov added. The target value for non-resource non-energy exports for the year was set at $155 billion, he noted. The Ministry of Industry and Trade predicts its implementation. "Moreover, the plan is set in such a way as to fulfill the national goal set for us by the President of the Russian Federation by 2030. Therefore, we do not plan to adjust the target, but we predict that we will [achieve] all the established indicators this year," Chekushov said.
