A former Vice Prime Minister, Davydov became Minister of Foreign Economic Relations of the Russian Federation in 1993. He traces changes in the country's foreign trade since both industrial and agricultural enterprises were allowed to trade freely across borders. He predicts that his reforms will lead to Russia's integration into the world economy, the integration of the Commonwealth member countries, Russia's admittance into the World Trade Organization, and a free-trade zone with the European Community.
