Minister for Finance in talks about latest report on Russia’s economy
Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine continues with unabated intensity, bringing serious consequences for civilians. Russian propaganda continues to spread the false narrative of a strong and resilient economy. On behalf of the Swedish Government, the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) drafted a report in late 2024 concerning economic developments in Russia. The report highlighted the unreliability of Russian statistics, and that the country’s economy is not performing as well as its statistics suggest. SITE has now published a follow-up report, and Minister for Finance Elisabeth Svantesson has met with Director of SITE Torbjörn Becker to discuss the Russian economy and the report’s conclusions.
