Economic Growth in Russia
Over the last decade, Russia's GDP growth experienced fluctuations due to geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and oil price volatility. The economy contracted in 2015-2016 due to declining oil prices and the impact of sanctions linked to the annexation of Crimea, recovering slightly thereafter. COVID-19 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine brought further downturns in 2020 and 2022, respectively. That said, the economy has performed much better than expected since 2023, thanks to war-related investment and government spending, and the country's ability to skirt Western sanctions by rerouting exports through unaffected countries, particularly in Asia.
In the year 2024, the economic growth in Russia was 4.34%, compared to 0.74% in 2014 and 4.08% in 2023. It averaged 1.45% over the last decade. For more GDP information, visit our dedicated page.
