Russian economy teetering on the edge of a recession, according to Maxim Reshetnikov
In a sobering outlook, our economic landscape appears to be headed for a chilly future. Economic growth, as expected by some experts, is taking a nosedive, with signs of a recession looming large. On the 6th of June, the Bank of Russia dropped its key rate to a near three-year low of 20%, indicating new monetary policy tactics looming on the horizon.
Elvira Nabiullina, the Bank of Russia's chair, hinted at a firm monetary policy strategy to combat the impending inflation surge, aiming to regain the target inflation rate of 4%. Nevertheless, projections established by both the government and the central bank suggest that growth in 2025 will be less than 2024's 4.3%.
Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development, forecasts a rather lackluster 2.5% growth in 2025, evoking images of an economic chill in the coming months. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the likelihood of an economic slowdown, urging caution to steer clear of an extreme cooling reminiscent of a cryochamber.
