According to the results of eight months of 2020, according to the data published on the page https://www.forbes.ru, the volume of Moscow's NNE amounted to $21.52 billion. The share of NNE in the capital region reached 22.7% of the total volume of Russian exports, which amounts to $68.36 billion. According to the results of the year, posted on the public Internet resource, it may amount to 35-38%.

In the next 10 years, the government will have to solve the task set by the July presidential decree — to increase exports of non-primary non-energy goods by 70% by 2030 compared to 2020.

One of the points of growth of the NNE may be the export of high-tech goods - machines, appliances, electrical equipment, computers. This is not surprising, because high-tech production helps to develop science and the economy of the country, and adds influence to the state in the international arena. It is technology companies that can become a key driver of economic growth.

The main importing countries of Moscow products are Kazakhstan, the USA, Belarus and China.

The volume of non-primary non-energy exports of Moscow in the first 10 months of this year reached $ 31.2 billion. This made it possible to increase the indicators of the same period last year by 38.5 percent. Information about this is posted on the website mos.ru .
