Mishustin: the BRICS' weight in the global economy is growing, the G7's share is decreasing
Mishustin: the BRICS' weight in the global economy is growing, the G7's share is decreasing
387 26.01
The Russian prime minister said at the strategic session on foreign economic activity that the BRICS' contribution to the global economy is growing, while the G7's share is decreasing. Against the background of "mounting sanctions pressure" and tariff barriers, Moscow is betting on reconfiguring support measures and strengthening foreign economic relations. We analyze why this thesis is supported by structural trends, and what it changes for foreign economic activity, calculations and logistics

eBay has issued legal protection for brands in Russia: the company registered two trademarks with classic logos by submitting applications to Rospatent in September 2024. Registration is valid for eight classes of the MCTU and is valid until September 19, 2034. This step is important for the market as a signal of brand protection in the jurisdiction, but in itself does not mean the resumption of operations — payments and cross-border infrastructure remain the decisive factor.

The format of digital auctions has expanded in Russia: the Migtorg platform, known for auto auctions, has added auctions of property — from equipment and furniture to electronics and inventory. The bet is on open pricing and clear rules of transactions, as well as on anti-fraud mechanics with the transfer of money after the execution of the contract. For businesses, this is a way to monetize illiquids faster, and for small businesses, it is a chance to enter assets cheaper.

Madagascar announced South Africa's support for obtaining the status of a BRICS partner country. According to President Mikael Randrianirina, the request was accepted during a visit to Pretoria, and Madagascar may receive an invitation to the BRICS summit under the Indian presidency in 2026. At the same time, the decision on partnership is made only by consensus of all participants, therefore, the support of South Africa is an important, but not the final step.

Wildberries has opened a window for free shipments to warehouses using the "WB Warehouse" (FBW) model: from January 15 to February 15, some of the goods from the approved list can be delivered without paying for acceptance, including destinations with standard paid acceptance. For sellers, this is a chance to reduce the logistical cost and spread the leftovers by region faster, but the benefits can only be used if they are accurately included in the list and the delivery is prepared correctly.

The Federal Tax Service clarified the controversial issue of "director" contributions in 2026: even if payments to the head are less than the minimum wage or there are none, the minimum base for contributions is formed automatically. But for companies on the insurance policy, the total insurance premiums will be zero due to the 0% tariff, and there is no need to take the RSV. The explanation is fixed by the letter of the Federal Tax Service dated 15.01.2026 № BS-4-11/117@.

Shipping cargo from China to Russia is just the beginning. The real quest is to get it on time and without losses. Why can't Chinese banks skip your payment? What should I do if the customs decided to open each box in the rain? And why doesn't even insurance always save you from losses? This article examines the real, rather than theoretical, reasons why supply disruptions have become the norm, and what can be done about it in practice.
