Botten ur för den ryska ekonomin. - Klarar inte längre att betala räntorna.

The GDP of the Russian Federation, according to forecasts of the Bank of Russia, will increase by 1-2% in 2025, by 0.5–1.5% in 2026, and by 1.5–2.5% in 2027. This is reported in the medium-term forecast of the Central Bank.

The growth of the Russian economy in 2024 was 4.1%, which is slightly higher than the Bank of Russia predicted in October. This is largely due to a stronger-than-expected growth in domestic demand, the Central Bank said in a statement following a meeting of the regulator's board of directors, which kept the key rate at 21%.

The high current inflationary pressure indicates that the Russian economy continues to deviate significantly from the balanced growth trajectory.

The regulator indicates that the labor market remains tough. Unemployment is still at historic lows. Wage growth continues to outpace labor productivity growth.
