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.

IMF-Turkey: Concluding Statement of the 2017 Article IV Mission
November 4, 2016--The Turkish economy has withstood several shocks. However, increased political uncertainty, a sharp fall in tourism revenues, and a high level of corporate debt are all taking a toll.
The current monetary stance balances the need to contain inflation, which is still above target, against the backdrop of a slowing economy. Favorable external conditions have helped so far, but external financing needs remain large and limit fiscal space. Nevertheless, some fiscal loosening is appropriate to support the economy. Macroprudential measures should be strengthened to lower foreign exchange risk.
