Introduction

The negative impacts of economic policy have been clearly manifested in the last 2 years due to unfolding international economic and political circumstances.

One of the key aspects under the current economic crisis, political sanctions, recently declared in the Russian Federation policy of substitution is the development of the business sector of the economy, flexibly adapting to global and international challenges and allowing the market to saturate competitive goods and services.
