www.masoc.lv
Problems in Russian market
• About 12% of sectors’
exports goes to Russia
(2013)
• In some segments the share
exceeds 25% (electrical
motors; machinery, etc)
• The exports decrease in
2014
• Uncertainty regarding
future of this market
Association of Mechanical Engineering and
Metalworking Industries of Latvia

Energy prices
• Rising electricity costs create
risks for the industry, especially
those companies that are energy
intensive
• Discussions to reduce the burden
caused by “the green energy”
component in the electricity costs

Education
• Education and HR development –
constantly one of the key
priorities
• Dealing with all levels of
education system:
– Schoolchildren, youngsters;
– Vocational and higher education
– Further education / lifelong learning
• Good progress achieved in
modernisation of vocational
education infrastructure
• As from 2016 – mandatory exam
in chemistry or physics (renewed)
in secondary schools
