ИСТИНА

Despite the growth data in e-Business, traditional commerce dominates. Thus, in the Russian Federation the volume of e-Commerce does not exceed 4 percent of the overall volume of retail trades. Nevertheless, the government is highly interested in the development of e-Commerce. In order to advance the Information Society Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for 2017-2030, in July of 2017 the State program “The Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” was adopted and is actively carrying; it is primarily aimed at establishing an ecosystem of the digital economy, where data in digital form is a key production factor in all spheres of social-economic activities, in which effective interaction, including trans-border one, of business, scientific-educational community, state and citizens is ensured. And in the spring of 2018, in the annual report to the President of the Russian Federation “The Book of Complaints and Suggestions of Russian Business” the Ombudsman for the Development of the Digital Economy proposed to supplement this State program with a separate direction of e-Commerce. The establishment of national global online trading platforms is among the proposals too; those can compete with the largest international electronic trading corporations. Such initiatives and their promotion at the government level will contribute to the removal of barriers to the development of e-Commerce - there are still a lot - they are exchange restrictions, and uncertainty about virtual currencies, the high cost of logistics, the issue of consumer rights protection, etc.
