Russia's economy will not survive in any case, regardless of whether it wins or loses, - Business Insider
2023, Russia showed a 5.5% increase in GDP, but at the same time inflation amounted to 7.4%, reminds economist Renaud Foucard. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that unprecedented amounts of money are invested in the war sector, weapons, payments, the transfer of military equipment, loans. That is, what is, in fact, expenses, and not income. This year, Russia plans to increase its war spending to 36.6 trillion rubles, which is 386 billion dollars.
At the same time, the labor force deficit in the economy is 5 million workers.
Economists believe that Russia is inflating the bubble of the future economic crisis.
