Elena Trubnikova, Head of FinExpertiza, said that since March, Russians have begun to shift to a model of savings behavior facilitated by the general state of uncertainty and rising deposit rates. As of mid-spring, the retail trade turnover started to decline in real terms. In autumn, it was about 10% lower than last year. As consumers moved away from non-essential spending, spending on non-food items fell faster than on food.

At the same time, Trubnikova points out that consumer demand declines more markedly in more affluent developed regions than in the country as a whole: People with extra money prefer to set it aside. In addition, the outflow of population has contributed to the reduction of effective demand. A long trip abroad can primarily be afforded by people with savings or stable remote work.
