Minister: Russia’s GDP growth may top 2% in 2017

24 October 2017, Tuesday

Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth may overshoot 2% in 2017, Economic Development Minister Maxim Oreshkin said at a forum on Tuesday.

“At the beginning of this year I said that GDP would grow by at least 2%, everyone laughed, no one could believe it, they said it is overly optimistic. In fact, we have a 2.5% growth in April-June and a 2.2% rise in July-September. We can reach the 2% and even more by the end of the year,” he said.
