Russia Outlook: Electoral Cycle Boosts Growth for Now

Russia’s commodity-driven economy remains exposed to global headwinds, particularly lower commodity prices. Growth remains consumer-driven, as pre-election fiscal stimulus boosts real wages and disposable income. A sustained recovery in fixed investment remains elusive, putting a speed limit on growth. Inflationary pressures have eased, but are set to re-emerge in 2012. Pulled by FX risks and moderate inflation and growth, the Russian central bank (CBR) should keep the main policy rate unchanged over the forecast period, while using other policy tools to restore liquidity.
