Today’s R&D covers the Russian economy. Western sanctions are expected to significantly impact Russia’s economic fortunes next year, with some economists predicting a recession. Yesterday, the World Bank announced that it expects Russia’s GDP growth to be minimal next year due to the sanctions and a lack of structural reforms. Growth rates are expected to remain anemic in 2016.
