The Russian economy in the sectoral and spatial dimensions

The article presents the results of an analysis of changes in the sectoral and territorial structure of the national economy of Russia from the perspective of their alignment with the objectives and mechanisms of the economic policy implemented in the country. The analysis reveals that despite the government's efforts in structural policy, there remains low effectiveness in the development of priority sectors of manufacturing industry and in reducing spatial disparities in the level of socio-economic development across the regions. The identified trends highlight the need for reforming the approaches to structural policy to more effectively achieve economic growth and development goals at the national level.
