IMF-Russian Federation: Selected Issues
July 1, 2014--Summary: Russia's trend growth is volatile. The transition from a centrally planned to a market economy started in 1991, hence time series are relatively short compared to other countries.
The size and depth of structural reforms during the 1990's, the financial crisis and default in 1998, followed by the oil boom in the 2000's, and subsequent GFC, make identification of a stable "long run" growth trend a very hard task. Hence, it is complicated to pin down an accurate estimate of potential growth and the output gap.
