Deficit, Taxes, and Oil Crisis: Russia's Economy is 'Rolling to the Bottom'.


The economy of Russia is in a difficult situation due to a serious budget deficit. Expenditures exceed revenues, leading to an increased tax burden on businesses. The Russian government intends to raise taxes on individuals and enterprises. However, these measures may lead to the bankruptcy of many small and medium-sized enterprises. A significant role in Russia's budget is played by oil exports, but due to the low price of oil, profitability is declining. There are also manipulations with inflation indicators. Officially, it is declared at 7.6%, but in fact, it exceeds 20%.
