Transport policy under external sanctions pressure: a new stage in the development of transport corridors

Abstract

In 2022, the Russian economy and transport system faced unprecedented sanctions pressure. The closure of the skies, ports and roads of the countries of the European Union, the embargo on the shipment of coal, the phase-out of Russian oil, financial and other sanctions lead to significant changes in the structure of the Russian economy, to the search for new business partners in neutral countries of the world. Such changes are inevitably accompanied by changes in supply chains, which exacerbates the issues of setting priorities in the implementation of transport policy. In the new economic reality, it should be focused on facilitating the access of Russian enterprises to the markets of South and Southeast Asia, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa, Iran, Pakistan and other countries that have not joined the sanctions, through the development of infrastructure, multimodal transportation and the reduction of administrative barriers.
