Russia–Africa Forum Participants Address the Diamond Industry

On the Roscongress Foundation portal ‘Anticrisis Plan. Global Best Practices’ and in the ROSCONGRESS.ORG Information and Analytical System a report has been posted on the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the economies of African countries.

In this publication, the Institute of Natural Monopolies Research (IPEM) summarizes the performance of Russia’s manufacturing industries in March 2020. Against a backdrop of unfavorable global economic environment coupled with measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, demand growth was registered in low-tech industries only. In extractive industries, the drop in demand is the sharpest on record since 2009.
