IMF improves Russia's GDP growth outlook to 4.4% in 2021

The Russian economy ministry has revised an outlook for economic growth and oil prices in 2021, projecting a more robust national currency. After shrinking 3% in 2020 (its sharpest contraction since 2009), the Russian economy is on the mend thanks to a rebound of consumer demand and high oil prices – its key export. The Russian labor market is finally starting to look up. Since August 2020, the national unemployment rate has declined steadily, and employment levels are still below pre-pandemic numbers. However, these rates show that the country’s current situation isn’t as grim as it could be, considering they’re still trying to recover from the pandemic. In 2019, Russia ranked #28 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: Reuters, World Bank, and TASS).
