August 2025
The real estate market is on the cusp of an era of profound changes. Demographics, climate, technology, and development of new spaces are already transforming demand, housing formats, and urban planning principles, forcing developers and architects to rethink every single thing, from materials and infrastructure to ownership models and ways to adapt to new risks. Yakov and Partners experts have identified seven key trends that will shape development of the global industry through 2050
August 2025
Yakov and Partners’ Director Alexey Kletsko believes that instead of supporting farmers, export duties warp the industry's economics. The Central Bank's high key rate adds to the burden, making industry players pay an extra RUB 500-600 billion towards loan costs compared to the period before 2022. This undermines farmers' sustainability and limits their opportunities for development
August 2025
The Russian market has moved on, says Dmitry Plotnikov, a Partner at Yakov and Partners. Foreign brands may be allowed back, but on entirely new terms — with the interests of domestic business, production localization, and national economic sovereignty in mind
