Resumen

El cambio en la situación geopolítica y el deterioro de las relaciones entre Rusia y Occidente han inducido la expansión de la cooperación comercial y económica entre Rusia y los países latinoamericanos. Actualmente, Paraguay está mostrando explícitamente su disposición a fortalecer las relaciones comerciales establecidas recientemente con Rusia. Para exacerbar su creciente interés mutuo, es crucial luchar contra los impedimentos que dificultan el comercio entre estos países. Las evaluaciones del potencial de exportación demuestran que, de hecho, Rusia y Paraguay tienen potencial para intensificar el comercio bilateral, aunque las oportunidades para la diversificación de las exportaciones son bastante limitadas. Los autores realizan una encuesta para identificar los principales costos comerciales y su rol en el desarrollo de las relaciones comerciales ruso-paraguayas. Los resultados de la encuesta revelan que los costos de transporte y logística impiden de manera significativa las exportaciones de ambos países, como también los obstáculos relacionados con la información que representan la principal preocupación de las empresas exportadoras rusas, mientras que las medidas no arancelarias, las barreras lingüísticas y culturales son relevantes para las empresas paraguayas. Para intensificar las relaciones comerciales ruso-paraguayas, los formuladores de políticas podrían enfrentar estas barreras a través de un mayor intercambio de información de mercado en diferentes canales institucionales.

Palabras clave:

Costos comerciales, barreras no arancelarias, potencial de exportación, Rusia, Paraguay.
