Russia’s GDP is expected shrink by up to 12% in 2022, sharply exceeding the Economic Ministry’s expectations of an 8% decline, according to internal forecasts by the Ministry of Finance. It is on course to the steepest contraction since 1994, when Russia transitioned toward a market economy, as the country feels the impact of sweeping Western sanctions. The main restriction measures include an oil embargo by the US and a fossil-fuel phase out by the UK, while multiple EU utilities seek for alternative gas sources. In addition, multiple foreign companies have departed Russia while major banks have been removed from the SWIFT payment system and had their assets frozen. Uncertainty about the projections remain high amid the possibility of stronger restrictions as the EU proposed a six-month phase out of oil imports, which would be the hardest hitting measure against the Russian economy so far. According to the central bank, annual inflation for 2022 is expected to accelerate to 18-23%. source: Federal State Statistics Service
