MOSCOW, January 1 Structural changes are taking place in the Russian economy, for the first time in many years the growth of manufacturing industries in the Russian Federation far exceeds revenues from oil and gas, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
«With us, you know, this has never happened; we have always said with sadness that our main income comes from oil and gas. For the first time in many years, the growth of processing industries in our economic structure is much greater exceeds income from oil and gas. Income from oil and gas, in my opinion, is 3%, and the processing industry gave many times more. This has never happened before. This suggests that we are undergoing structural changes in the economy, this is very important,» — Putin said on Monday at a meeting with participants in a special military operation.
