Abstract

This paper examines the trade relations and trade flows between Russia and France. Both countries represent truly leading powers, one in BRICS and the other one in the European Union. Moreover, it also tackles the economic relations between these two leaders of international trade hindered by the recent political and economic problems. In recent years, under the influence of sanctions imposed by some Western governments against Russia, bilateral trade and investment cooperation between the two countries have undergone a number of important changes. Our paper analyses the trade turnover between the countries for several years and reveals the main changes in its structure. In spite of the overall atmosphere of restriction and sanctions, we have identified some promising areas for further economic cooperation.
