Will Russia's new fiscal rule end its oil and gas dependence?

December 15, 2017--Russia has now emerged from recession, with deepening macroeconomic stability a contributing factor. Thanks to the Russian central bank targeting inflation, the country is enjoying its lowest inflationary environment in history: annual consumer price index inflation is currently averaging a mere 4 percent-less than a third of just a few years ago.

Meanwhile, a comfortable import cover of over 16 months; high levels of international reserves (over $420 billion); and a flexible exchange-rate regime continue to help the economy navigate external shocks. Government debt to GDP is around 17 percent (the euro area's is almost 90 percent). And by the end of 2017, both the general and federal fiscal deficits are expected to be a shade above 2 percent of GDP, and decreasing in subsequent years.
