World Bank Revises Its Growth Projections for Russia for 2015 and 2016
December 8, 2014--The World Bank has updated its economic outlook for Russia for 2015 and 2016 to reflect a further decline and increased volatility in global oil prices. The revised outlook is articulated through three scenarios-a baseline, an upper, and a lower-case-based on different oil price assumptions.
The new baseline, or most likely scenario, assumes an average oil price of US$78 per barrel for 2015 and of US$80 per barrel for 2016. On this basis, real GDP is projected to contract by 0.7 percent in 2015, before increasing by 0.3 percent in 2016.
