The Chamber highlighted the growth in commercial exchanges, which passed from almost two billion USD in 2012 (1,989,000,000) to over two billion (2,583,000,000) in 2013, an increase of around 30 per cent year-on-year.

Russian exports to Argentina included mainly components for nuclear reactors, vehicles, pharmaceutical products and technological products
