The newspaper was unable to obtain confirmation of whether the place of such presentation.

“an ecosystem is a savings Bank refers to the network of organizations created around a single technological platform and the use its services for elaboration of proposals to clients and access to them. Examples of the largest such ecosystems is an American Google, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent and Alibaba the Chinese,” writes the newspaper.

“Special attention is paid to Alibaba Group, to build “large-scale ecosystem on the Chinese market” with the principle of meeting all the needs of both buyers (clothing, electronics, household goods, food, leisure and entertainment, media, health, etc.) and sellers (financing, logistics, advertising, cloud services).

One of them provides for the implementation of the project by one savings Bank, according to the second embodiment to the creation of an ecosystem will attract a large Russian Internet company, for example “Yandex” or Mail.ru Group. In the third embodiment, the project to attract a strategic investor from abroad.

At a meeting in Novo-Ogaryovo President Vladimir Putin said that the legal regulation of electronic Commerce “has not always kept pace with such rapid development of the industry. As a result, Russian and foreign traders are often in unequal conditions”.

“I Think it is important that Russia worked its authoritative, strong platform for e-Commerce. In particular this will allow to more effectively promote domestic goods and services not only in their own market, but also on foreign markets”, — said Putin in his opening remarks.

President Vladimir Putin in December 2015 in the message to the Federal Assembly instructed the government to facilitate the establishment of large private companies in the field of electronic Commerce focused on the export of Russian goods. Suggestions the government should have to present before 1 July 2016.

In late may, the Ministry of economic development with the participation of other agencies developed the project “Russian Alibaba” — the concept of “anchor service” for exporters. We are talking about a unified information system through which enterprises of small and average business will be able to export goods without administrative barriers. The service will have to integrate payment, logistics, customs and insurance solutions, as well as to become a single window for exporters in the interaction with regulatory authorities.
