Economic relevance
Russia is the 12th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. Russia’s vast geography is an important determiner of its economic activity, with an abundance of oil, natural gas and precious metals, which make up a major share of Russia’s exports. The country has the world’s largest proven natural gas reserves and is the largest exporter of natural gas. It is also the second largest exporter of petroleum.
At trading, it is a member of the most relevant Asia/Pacific organizations like GECF, APEC and EAEU with an increasing economic alliance with China and still significant influence over the ex Soviet Union (USSR) members. Politically, Russia is a member of the G20, and used to also be a member of the G8 until its suspension because of the annexation of Crimea, whereupon the political forum name reverted to G7. In 2017, Russia announced its permanent withdrawal from the group.
The Russian rouble is the unit of currency of the Russian Federation. It is also accepted as legal tender in the partially recognised states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
