Russian Economy Terminal

The set of dashboards under this hub is designed to provide a clear picture on the Russian economy. All these indicators are compiled from different data sources (World Bank, IMF, UN, etc.). After contracting by 7.8% in 2009, the Russian economy registered a growth rate of 4.0% in 2010. Please note that the dependency on energy exports for the Russian economy remains high. Interesting enough, over the last decade, the Russian population went down from 146 million in 2000 to about 140 million in 2010. Obviously, contraction in total population and decent economic growth resulted in a noticeable jump in GDP per capita -- a jump from about $7,000 in 2000 to about $15,000 (both figures are in nominal terms).
