Abstract

The ongoing revival of Russia’s positive economic growth rates in 2017 was anticipated by an overwhelming majority of experts. A certain correction was reasonably expected following the 2015/16 decline in GDP and in investment and a drastic fall of living standards for the first time in 15 years. The key question to answer is: whether the growth is nothing but a corrective growth or the Russian economy has entered a new trend of steady growth?

Keywords: Russian economy, economic growth

JEL Classification: O43
