Economia rusă, în picaj: Rusia lui Putin intră în cea mai mare recesiune din ultimii 11 ani. „Să investeși acum e nebunie totală”

The Russian economy is set to experience its most significant decline in investments in 11 years, with a projected drop of 5.4% in 2026. Despite President Putin's calls for a new investment plan, the Ministry of Economic Development forecasts only a 0.2% increase in investments next year, with a return to previous levels not expected until 2029. High interest rates and general economic uncertainty are cited as key factors for this downturn. Additionally, the Russian government has seized assets worth 7.6 trillion rubles from former owners, marking the largest redistribution since the 1990s privatization. Major companies are also cutting back on investments, reflecting widespread pessimism among businesses and citizens about the economic future.
