Last year, growth slowed to a mere 1.3% on the back of weakening private consumption and export decline. However, following a recent shift to a more expansionary fiscal and monetary policy, GDP growth is expected to pick up to above 2% in 2020-2022. The constitutional changes recently proposed by President Putin suggest that he will not seek another re-election in 2024, although he will likely retain his political influence in a different capacity.
