Russians have saved more than 340 billion rubles in purchases through Avito in 2026, said Ivan Goz, the company's managing partner. According to him, the platform is used by 1.5 million entrepreneurs and freelancers, and the turnover of goods and services in the last year reached 2.6 trillion rubles. At the same time, the share of flexible employment platforms in Russia's GDP may increase from the current 1.5% to 3.5% by 2036.
At the same time, it is important to reduce regulatory barriers: offline procedures such as re-registration of cars, as well as the risk of canceling the independent deal after 2028. "The transition from offline to online is the biggest stage transition for the platform economy. It's like starting a nuclear reaction: it takes many components to come together in one place. We, as cash platforms, this greatly blocks investment, and reduces that investment. The regulatory barrier is also minimized," Goz explained.
