Einladung zum Deutsch-Russischen Round Table, Hamburg

Es ist uns eine große Freude und Ehre, Sie zum Deutsch-Russischen Round Table am Dienstag, dem 3. Juni 2019 um 13:00 Uhr im Hause der Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, Gänsemarkt 45, 20345 Hamburg, einzuladen. 

Nachdem sich die deutsch-russischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen seit 20 Jahren positiv entwickelten, gibt es seit 2012 einen spürbaren Einbruch, basierend auf der allgemeinen russischen Wirtschaftskrise, dem Ölpreisverfall und der Rubelschwäche, verstärkt durch die Sanktionsregime der EU und Russlands anlässlich der Ukraine-Krise. Russland hat sich inzwischen hierauf eingestellt, fördert die Produktion im eigenen Land und sucht nach neuen Geschäftspartnern und Lieferanten. Deutsche Unternehmer sind nach wie vor beliebte, wenn nicht die begehrtesten Partner. Russland hat zahlreiche Anreize für ausländische Unternehmen geschaffen, in Russland wirtschaftlich tätig zu werden oder ihr Geschäftsfeld zu erweitern. Trotz aller Schwierigkeiten wächst die russische Wirtschaft weiter; der Handel mit Deutschland steigt seit 2017 wieder.
