Bloomberg: Russia goes to elections with an economy that improves citizens' living standards

March 15 2024 22

On the eve of the presidential elections in Russia, it can be stated that the country has coped with the sanctions pressure from the West. Bloomberg recalled that the Russian economy became fifth in the world, overtaking Germany.

The Western resource also drew attention to the fact that in the Russian Federation the welfare of residents is growing, which is reflected in increased wages, currency stabilization and low unemployment. The Kremlin spends a lot of money on social support for the population, mortgage subsidies and other important expenses. Retail sales and industrial production also demonstrate high levels.

An important factor in the success of the country's economic development was high prices for hydrocarbons. Despite sanctions pressure from Europe and the United States, Russia continues to successfully export these goods with the help of a shadow fleet. The import of necessary products is provided by the countries of the Asian region - about 70% of goods come from China, Turkey and a number of other states friendly to Moscow.

It is important to note that Western prohibitive measures have not shaken the internal stability of the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin is confidently heading to the presidential elections. It cannot be ruled out that by the end of this year the Russian economy will also show growth.

  Yes, without Vladimir and Volodymer, it will be hard to convince the Russians and the native Ukrainians who want to be like the Americans about how good they live in their own country, like the Koreans in Korea.
  And most importantly, no one wants to be like these two Vovans.

  don’t worry, GDP will be in power for as long as modern medicine will allow... but about the standard of living, this is probably a wrong translation... it’s only gotten worse since 2014... I will vote for GDP out of spite for the whiners and fans of Navalny, who I am in general I'm disgusted...

    Not as much as medicine allows, but as much as life’s path is measured out by God! For power in Russia is from God! And it is controlled!

        You are strange people... In Russia, the ruler NEVER left the supreme post VOLUNTARILY. With the exception of Yeltsin. Just a fact. The rest were doing well in this position and there was no point in leaving.
        It is almost certain that the Successor will be for life. After all, they won’t appoint just anyone, but the most worthy of the Russians!

It's always like this before elections.
At Putin’s last elections, the media wrote that Russia’s GDP suddenly caught up with Germany, and in these ones it has already surpassed it....
Let's see what happens next

Wow, how they rejoiced at the beginning of the sanctions. Like the Russian economy will collapse in six months. All Western media wrote this way. Broke off. Apparently they forgot that they have imposed sanctions on Russia throughout history. And nothing.

  The West did not plan for everyone in Russia to die of hunger. But car production fell by 2022% in April 98. Now it is difficult to recover. The civil aviation industry never recovered. Even the 23 Tu-2s planned for 214 were not produced; 13% of the components were imported. Dozens of Superjet and MC-21 fuselages stand without engines and components; they are not there and it is unclear when they will be available. The same is true in machine tool building. They even stopped making stainless steel; we buy it in China.
  We will live like North Korea, but we are finished as an industrialized country. No industrialized country can live without cooperation with other countries, not with Zimbabwe, of course, and not even with China.

    I don’t understand why China is worse than the same states. where 80% of GDP is services, not industry? Now let’s google the share of industry in Russia’s GDP. Or is there no Internet, but there are only arguments based on tea leaves?

  How can something that does not exist collapse? Well, we don’t have an economy; instead, the guys are on sale. Just look at the commercials on TV, all there are advertisements for loans. Wonderful economy.

  They believed it, ha, yes, these articles are paid for, plus they are skillfully translated. Although the welfare of those living in the LBS and the Russian Guard is growing.

I have been hearing slogans about improving the standard of living of citizens all my life.
Please. Please clarify each time which citizens you are talking about.

    In Russia, tens of millions do not work, we have done our share, how should we live? Yes, for now it’s enough for me not to die of hunger, but what will happen next when we overtake the US economy?

      When not one but three in a family will give birth. These are the conditions for pensions all over the world. It is called joint and several. The next generation provides for the previous one. Now look at the demographics in Russia. And don’t forget about migrants, whose taxes pay pensions. Or do you advise raising taxes on hard workers more so that you can live better?
