Economist of the United Nations: Russia's problems are not comparable to the situation in 2009
In 2009, Russia experienced a drop in GDP of 7%, currently this trend is not visible, said in an interview specialist, UN Department of economic and social problems Grigor Aghabekyan.
the world Bank experts believe that in 2015 the Russian Federation is waiting for the recession. And UN economists will prognoziruyut zero or close to zero economic growth. These data are contained in a new report " World economic situation and prospects for 2015 ". He was released by the Department of the United Nations economic and social problems. Dull will be the rate of economic increase and in 2016 - both in Russia and in the CIS States, informs radio station.
this year the economic situation in Russia was influenced by several factors that coincide with each other: lower oil prices, the conflict in Ukraine, the punishments and the associated restriction of access of Russian companies to the capital markets, then followed the outflow of capital from Russia and the decrease rate of the ruble, which has spurred inflation. Analysts say the slowdown of economic increase and predict Its continuation next year, said Grigor Aghabekyan.
" Despite the predictable difficulties, the situation is in no way comparable with 2009, when there was more than 7% reduction in GDP in the Russian Federation. This is a more benign situation, " said the economist.
However, if international punishment will remain in force in 2015, and in 2016, It will continue to have a very negative impact on the Russian economy, believes Aghabekyan.
