July 7, 2020--Governments and companies can reinforce each other in their pursuit of sustainable development, which is based on three pillars: economic, social and environmental.

Russian Economy Faces Deep Recession Amid Global Pandemic and Oil Crisis, Says New World Bank Report

July 6, 2020--Fueled by a COVID-19 triggered deep global recession, Russia's 2020 GDP growth is projected to contract by 6 percent, an eleven-year low, with a moderate recovery in 2021-2022, according to the World Bank's latest Russia Economic Report (#43 in the series). The decline of Russian economic growth is further exacerbated by plummeting crude oil prices that dropped 53 percent between January and May 2020.

In 2020, overall household consumption is expected to shrink by 4.9 percent, and gross fixed capital investment by 8 percent. Through April and May 2020, negative growth was reflected in most sectors, with manufacturing contracting 8.6 percent in this period; mineral-resource extraction decreasing by 8.4 percent, resulting in rapid shrinking of industrial production; and the transport sector experiencing a 7.7 percent contraction, driven by falling trade volumes since the beginning of the year.
