Russian Economy Inches Forward, says World Bank

November 9, 2016--Russia continued its adjustment to lower oil prices in 2016, in an environment of economic sanctions. A sustained fall in real incomes kept domestic demand depressed, and the unfavorable external conditions repeatedly affected Russia's economic growth.

Thus, the recession has continued, albeit at a slower pace. In 2016, the economy is projected to contract by 0.6 percent, and grow by 1.5 percent in 2017 and 1.7 percent in 2018, as hydrocarbon prices are forecast to continue recovering and positively affect domestic demand, the World Bank said in its latest Russia Economic Report, no. 36 in the series, launched in Moscow today.
