World Bank-Russia Economic Report 34: Balancing Economic Adjustment and Transformation
September 30, 2015--The continued impact of the lower oil prices in a context of ongoing international sanctions will cause the Russian economy to contract by an estimated 3.8 percent in 2015, the World Bank said today in its latest Russia Economic Report launched in Moscow.
The recession is having a severe impact on households as double-digit inflation erodes real wages and incomes and sharply increasing poverty rates. Medium-term growth prospects depend on how Russia will brave the difficult adjustment to this new economic reality. In the longer term, there is an opportunity for Russia to benefit from a structural transformation of its economy. However, without deep and sustained structural reforms, Russia will remain at risk of falling into a medium-term low-growth trap.
