“Russia’s economy will cease to exist in December”: Putin thanked Mishustin for disrupting the West’s plan
The West's negative forecasts for the Russian economy did not come true.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this today at a meeting with members of the government, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“None of what our enemy predicted for us happened. And this was done thanks, of course, first of all, to the citizens of Russia, their concentration, all our concentration, readiness for challenges, readiness to work in difficult conditions. But last but not least, this is the result of the government’s work,” Putin said.
According to him, additional revenues to the Russian budget amounted to 200 billion rubles. However, they are not related to the export of oil and gas.
“This gives us the opportunity to solve all the tasks that we set for development and those issues that are current, but very serious and important. We need, of course, in the near future to absolutely achieve a solution to issues related to sovereign - namely, sovereign, independent development in spite of any external pressure and threats,” Putin said.
He stressed that the country's security is reliably ensured.
Economist Nikita Krichevsky confirms the accuracy of the president’s conclusions.
“I will add that at the end of the year, inflation remained within the range of a little over 12% (predicted 60-70%), GDP tentatively decreased by 2,8-2,9% (predicted 10-12% more), and industry, again According to preliminary data, it dipped by just over 1%. Not to mention that the “opponents” stated that by December “the Russian economy will cease to exist».
There was a reorientation of Russian export flows to the East; exports to India alone grew by more than 430% over the year. As for Europe, last year in every month Russian oil supplies were monetary higher than in 2021.
Such results were achieved only as a result of the coordinated work of the government headed by Mikhail Mishutin. So well-coordinated that even the most notorious opponents in the West note that Mishustin’s team is now capable of any task,” Krichevsky wrote in his TG channel.
