Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Russia
Description
We've cut our 2026 GDP forecast for Russia to a 0.1% contraction as we expect the impact of sanctions on exports and the tight policy mix to tip the economy into recession this winter. With budgetary spending no longer providing an impetus to output growth and monetary policy remaining stringent, wage growth is the only factor supporting demand.
