wiiw Forecast Report No. Autumn 2017, November 2017 , pp. 107-110
The Russian economy is growing again. The inflation target of 4% has been
met and the rouble is appreciating. Yet the expected GDP growth will remain
below 2% even in the medium run, and will lag behind most of the country’s
CESEE peers. No changes in economic policies are expected before next year’s
presidential elections. Sanctions and the poor investment climate are there to
stay.
