Prospects for economic recovery in Russia

The 7th issue of “Voprosy Ekonomiki”  (Questions of Economics) contains the speeches of the participants of “Long-term economic growth in Russia: prospects for recovery” round table, which took place on April 12 as part of the “April XXI” conference. The publication includes materials by Natalia Akindinova, Marek. Dabrovski, Alexandr Shirov, Dmitry Belousov, Ilya Voskoboynikov and Evsey Gurvich.

Four questions were discussed by the participants.  

•  Can the experience of the recovery of the Russian economy after the crises of 1998 and 2008 help today?
• What sectors of the Russian economy were the drivers of growth in the previous decade and can they fulfill this role in the coming years?
• What growth rates of the Russian economy are expected in 2021 and why?
• How can national projects to stimulate growth be adjusted?

During the preparation of the round table materials for publication, participants identified the key factors determining the dynamics of labor productivity and production in Russia; suggested ways to support the economy during the coronacrisis; and formulated economic policy measures that can accelerate the growth of the Russian economy.
