This week's 25th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) resulted in 5.6 trillion rubles ($97 billion) worth of agreements, which is 30% more than last year (3.8 trillion rubles). Among the major deals signed at the forum this year was a technical agreement on gas supplies between Russia’s main gas exporter, Gazprom, and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). Over 690 deals were signed during the four-day event. Despite the tense political situation regarding Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, officials and businessmen from more than 130 countries took part in the forum including representatives from all ‘unfriendly states’ that have imposed sanctions on Russia.
