She expanded trade and industry from "summary" of Catherine the Great by Robert K. Massie

Catherine was determined to modernize Russia's economy. She recognized that the success of her empire depended on the development of trade and industry. To achieve this goal, she encouraged the growth of manufacturing and commerce. She believed that a strong economy would not only increase the wealth of the nation but also enhance its power and influence on the world stage. Catherine took a number of measures to promote trade and industry. She established new industries, such as textile factories and ironworks, and encouraged foreign experts to come to Russia to help develop its manufacturing base. She also introduced new technologies and techniques to improve productivity and efficiency in existing industries. In addition to promoting industry, Catherine also worked to expand trade both within Russia and with other countries. She negotiated trade agreements with foreign powers and established new trade routes to increase the flow of goods in and out of the empire. She also worked to improve the infrastructure of the country, building new roads and canals to facilitate the movement of goods. Catherine's efforts to expand trade and industry had a significant impact on the Russian economy. The increased manufacturing and trade led to a growth in wealth and prosperity for the nation. As Russia became more integrated into the global economy, its influence and power grew as well.
