In February, First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov said there are opportunities for the Russian economy to enter positive territory by the end of 2023. The Central Bank of Russia also improved its forecast in February, allowing changes in GDP dynamics from a 1% decrease to a 1% increase rather than a 1-4% decline.

According to Rosstat’s initial estimate, Russia’s GDP in 2022 decreased by 2.1%. Investments in fixed capital showed no growth – by 4.6%. Such results, against the background of unprecedented Western sanctions, turned out to be much better than the initial expectations of both the authorities and the market.
