Talk:Economy of Russia

Mod activity increasingly untenable in relation to Russia and its economy
I wanted to give a headsup to anyone reading this that there are mods going round 'repealing' anything that they deem changes the appearance of Russia prior to 2022. I am getting sick of this and am expecting an outage of Wikipedia being reported globally any time soon as it's illegal content (I myself can't read it as a result). They ought to know where I stand by now as they have been given an overt explanation. I can't assist in this and the course the mods are plotting for themselves. Clearly they are looking at being singled out by law enforcement pretty soon if nobody shows willingness to update the Russia pages and allow edits that are appropriate and factually accurate.--148.252.146.215 (talk) 00:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah talking to myself now (in this latest reply right here) but I now note you can't even edit Wikipedia without being complicit in the organisation, on posts such as Russia in detail areas where there is the continued claptrap of 'business as usual' articles about Ukraine/Russia citing outdated information as though it's current, refusing to show or acknowledge the distinction between the past and present. You're locked out of editing and I think it's deliberate as I now believe Wikipedia has been overtaken by terrorist sympathisers and this is their recruitment method. Once you join, your posts will be overturned if you can't explain how to get blood from a stone and why Satan will let you off if you've been rejected from heaven. This is Wikipedia 2024 and it sticks out like a sore thumb stuck in a pot of borscht. I now hold mods on here, and idiot contributors, partly to account for the invasion of Ukraine and Russia's self-harming path. Wikipedia is really grown up kids, who in the early days of the internet thought nobody could trace them, recognise them, and they wanted to change the world at their whim. They probably got into drugs because they were educated and could afford it, and managed to escape the authorities with that type of whit only a crook has and police recognise, once this happened they became twisted and feel the only thing that matters is the keyboard, LAN cable, and monitor in front of their eyes, waiting to be rounded up in a few years when Marshall law finally come this way (because nobody is smart enough to sense what they're doing) to be found (finally, and only then) to be clinically insane devil worshippers that nobody had any idea of before, not like they put their family name in their sig and didn't stop talking about their secret activity on the internet every Saturday down the pub. I liken them to Hitlers, we're all shafted by them, supposed to pretend we don't know they're afraid to go outside without hellscaping the world via the internet 5 minutes before leaving their house in order to distract everyone, and finding ways to get everyone 'involved' when all they wanted was for them to pack it up, call it a day, admit it's not what it was and that you're not even sure why you'd listen to yourself anymore just because you know some odd, mostly-irrelevant-to-the-common-man factoid about Peru (except you don't, you just obsess over paradox explanations being supplied that are as mutually exclusive to reality as a flying gibbon is coal-powered pig spliced elephant after it's managed, somehow (but I'm sure there's an explanation for that) to fornicate with a shrew-like mammal smaller than a mouse, without the assistance of any lab equipment such as a fertility clinic for metasticised morphoidosic mammalian quadrapedal fur-sprouting 148.252.146.215 (talk) 01:30, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Russia's inflation seen at 20%, GDP down 8% in 2022, c.bank survey shows

PPP
The figures are for GDP PPP, not "real GDP". (says 85.249.41.216)

its not 2.2%
GDP loss for 2022 is NOT 2.2%, as its mentioned in the Intro. "It is estimated that in 2022, Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) dropped by at least 2.2% in the best-case scenario and by up to 3.9% in the worst-case scenario." - Regards. M.Karelin (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * As I previously stated, we should only use IMF or World Bank data for GDP growth, but we can also use official Russian government data. However, given the current political situation, EU data will not be considered. Thanks--Rüdiger.Ingrid (talk) 17:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Why we can use Russian government data, but not EU data ?? M.Karelin (talk) 02:26, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Because EU data might be biassed given the current political situation. And the Russian government might fudge their GDP data. As a result, we must rely on IMF or World Bank sources.--Rüdiger.Ingrid (talk) 04:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the IMF has confirmed that it is no longer in a position to calculate and certify the GDP of the Russian Federation, as the Federation is now delinquent in its communication of mandatory statistics and supporting data. https://fortune.com/2023/03/06/imf-naively-parroted-putin-fake-statisticsand-botched-economic-forecast-russia-ukraine/ Bungler91 (talk) 15:52, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Term Real GDP used wrongly
Hi. In the Economy_of_russia section, in the 6th column instead of the word "real" there should be "PPP". Real GDP is a completely different thing. The proof is that the 6th column completely fits the calculations of growth that can be calculated from data in the 2nd and 3rd columns. But that's the problem with the pages on most countries anyway. --95.24.70.126 (talk) 15:51, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Can we have reliable GDP estimates?
The GDP figures for 2021 and 2022 are taken from sources (e.g. IMF and World Bank) which specify that these are estimates in the absence of comprehensive reliable data, which the Russian Federation is no longer providing.

According to Russian official news agency TASS, the official Russian statistics agency Rosstat has just published a new estimate stating "the GDP at the end of 2021 amounted to 135.773 trillion rubles ($1.5 trillion) and at the end of 2022 it was 155.350 trillion rubles ($1.6 trillion)."

These figures are more than 15% lower than the numbers currently shown in the GDP tables here as well as in the table of GDP by country.

At what point do we shift from wishful thinking to actual data? Bungler91 (talk) 23:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * The main players who compute GDP all use different methods, which is why you have variances, look at the IMF (1,862,470), World bank (2,240,422) and the UN (1,778,782), these are massive differences, however when they do comparisons, at least they are fairly consistent between the countries each look at, Russia is 11th, 8th and 11th in List of countries by GDP (nominal). If TASS is reporting government figures, I would be tempted to use those as insufficient data on each economic area of their economy will be released by Russia for several years yet to make western assessments more accurate.

 * I don't think anything new is happening. Rosstat publishes on December 29, 2023 the third GDP estimate for 2022 and the fifth GDP estimate for 2021. The nominal volume of GDP in 2022 amounted to 155,350.4 billion rubles. Its physical volume index compared to 2021 reaches 98.8%, the deflator index is 115.8%. The nominal volume of GDP in 2021 amounted to 135,773.8 billion rubles. Its physical volume index compared to 2020 reaches 105.9%, the deflator index is 119.1%. This means that GDP fell by 1.2% in 2022 instead of 2.1%.  There is also an estimate of GDP for the 3rd quarter of 2023. In addition, there are the Statistical Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States with GDP by production method, GDP by end-use method, GDP income method and statistics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, including GDP data for 2023. ruASG+1  21:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * By the way, there is a section "SDDS of the IMF" on the Rosstat website with Q2, Q3 and November 2023 data. ruASG+1  22:33, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Can someone please edit the typo in External trade and investment?

"Russia top exports in 2021 were: Crude oil $110.9b, Processed oil $69.9b, gold $17.3b, coal $15.4b and natural gat $7.3b."

Obviously 'gat' should be 'gas'. Thank you :) Wooby666 (talk) 12:01, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

The green triangle in the big table at inflation rate of 2023 before 5.3% should be flipped upside down. Wooby666 (talk) 21:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
