Indian companies have tripled purchases through the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange: by the end of 2025, the amount of transactions reached almost $5 million. Materials for light industry have become the driver, and in 2026, the parties are discussing expanding the range, including food products. For foreign economic activity, this is an enhancement of the "exchange" channel with a more transparent price and documents.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 87 dated 02/06/2026 strengthened control over declarations and certificates of conformity: customs information became the basis for suspensions, and test reports and accreditation of EAEU laboratories became the verification point. The rules apply from February 7, 2026.

The construction of the key section of the North–South corridor, the Rasht—Astara railway, is planned to be put into practical implementation from April 1, 2026. The project should eliminate the main gap in the western branch of the route and increase the predictability of transit for foreign economic activity, reducing dependence on road transport and congestion.

The Central Bank lowered the key rate to 15.5% and admitted that further decisions may be more abrupt or with pauses. For foreign economic activity, this directly affects the cost of working capital, inventory policy, and settlement terms for import contracts, especially with a long logistics cycle.

The State Duma has passed a law that for the first time describes in detail the procedure for the arrest and seizure of cryptocurrencies in criminal cases. The digital currency was secured as property, and the investigation was allowed to act in two ways — to withdraw media (including "cold wallets") or transfer assets to a controlled address.

Uzbekistan and Turkey are preparing to launch regular container trains along the Uzbekistan–Turkmenistan–Iran–Turkey corridor. The focus is on speeding up delivery towards Europe and on cost predictability through standardization and digitalization of procedures. Against the background of the growth of transit through Central Asia, the competition of corridors will be decided by terms, tariff and quality of service.

Russia has established a National Committee for Business Cooperation within the framework of BRICS. It will be headed by Maxim Oreshkin, the composition must be approved within two months. The Committee aims to link businesses and government agencies and prepare proposals on areas of work within the BRICS Business Council, which may affect foreign economic activity procedures and logistics chains.

Tatarstan plans to fully launch its logistics complex in 2026. Deng Xiaoping is a container transportation site between Russia and China. The project fits into the region's strategy: strengthening multimodality, developing inland waterways and turning the Sviyazhsky junction into a hub where the railway, autologistics and the river-sea route converge. For foreign economic activity, this means new opportunities in terms of speed, cost and sustainability of supply chains.

From March 1, 2026, the legal framework for the GosLog platform, a single digital window in transport logistics, will begin to operate in Russia. The platform should integrate industry services, accelerate the issuance of permits and accompanying documents, and provide digital control of transportation throughout the chain.

China began to crack down more harshly on the scheme by which new cars were exported as used: a large batch of cars for Russian buyers was detained at the border in Suifenhe. It is based on the "180 days" rule and increased control over the export of "zero used goods". For the market, this means increased risks of gray imports, longer deadlines, and a gradual shift to more transparent supply chains.
