In the second quarter, the economy shrank by a relatively moderate 8%, and the subsequent rebound has been reasonably strong. However, a recent upsurge in new infections and the currency’s weakening will dampen economic activity in the months to come. In the baseline scenario, GDP is expected to decline by 4.5% this year, with a moderate recovery of 2-2.5% per year projected for 2021-2022.
