Professor breaks down economic turmoil in Russia

How will a crashing Ruble and rising inflation hamper Putin's war effort? CNN's Bianna Golodryga speaks to Russian economist Sergei Guriev on the current state of the economy and its potential implications for the global market.#CNN #News

Well it's time for the BRICS- New World Order to come up with a default reserve currency or simply go back to gold as the reserve. It will be too chaotic for each country to trade in their respective currencies with the daily change in exchange rates.

Oil revenues = price x volume. If russia is increasing oil prices by decreasing output volume, who cares. Their revenues are still down by 50% and their natural gas revenues are almost completely gone. The same kinda thing is true for their gdp. It doesnt matter if their gdp is flat, what matters is they are now wasting all their govt spending on tanks which just get destroyed in ukraine rather than spending it on infrastructure or education that is an investment in the future. Because of the freefall of the ruble, they had to raise interest rates to 12% which means no businesses can finance expansions and new businesses cant get started. None of this was ever going to be a quick fix, but it is going to destroy the russian economy for decades, especially if all the educated men who fled mobilization never return.. almost 2% of russias workforce is hiding overseas, and they are the most educated

Further the government runs fiscal policy and often it is politically driven and rarely in phase with the economic cycles. Monetary policy is run by the central bank and usually is focused on controlling inflation rather than driving growth.

@@philliptemple9841 About printing money You need to first look at the size of the US and EU budget deficits, and then look at how they close. After last year, virtually no one other than Western countries is buying US debt anymore. They make loans to themselves, which leads to huge global inflation. No matter how Ukraine convinces us of the inefficiency of Russian weapons, its successes based on these weapons were much more convincing than the current ones based on NATO technology. As far as I know, Russia has a huge queue for new proven weapons. And at the expense of the lack of intimidation or fear of Russia - this is something clinical. Many people will not agree with you, for example, NATO is afraid to directly enter into conflict with Russia, but at the same time it encourages Ukrainians to go into meat grinders. Moreover, it is very clear that NATO is completely changing its strategies and launching a complete rearmament. Since it is not ready for opponents of the level of Russia. You are a typical Ukrainian bot, you are betrayed by them ZZ, as a rule they always lie, swear their hatred for Russia and tell Narnian tales about the successes of the Narnian offensives)

For every one Ukrainian killed they got a return of 5~7 dead orcs exterminated. Yet did they learn? Heck no, they just sent 250k mobiks to their deaths (good riddance). And to top it off they only could claim 95% of Bakhmut. Ha ha. Ukraine will surround it in the near future. Or how about the sinking of the Moskva??? Ukraine doesn't even have a Navy!!! Now Ukraine strikes at will anywhere in Crimea or the Black Sea! Or what about all the fires / explosions right under Putler's nose in Moscow???

The sanctions don’t have an immediate effect. Putin has been readying the country for this invasion for years and undoubtedly had a lot of money and resources saved up. But those resources are likely drying up and replenishing them will be more difficult with the sanctions in place.

[@dianamincher6479]

What about sanctions?

[@allenaxp6259]

The crashing Ruble and rising inflation are likely to hamper Putin's war effort in a number of ways. The Ruble's collapse will make it more difficult for Russia to import goods and services, which it needs to sustain its war effort. Russia is a major importer of food, energy, and other essential goods. The Ruble's collapse will make it more expensive for Russia to buy these goods, which could lead to shortages and disruptions. The Ruble's collapse and rising inflation could also lead to a recession in Russia. This would further weaken the Russian economy and make it more difficult for Putin to finance his war effort.

[@vicdor1031]

All Correct, except the oil prices were not impacted by tight supllies. The price of oil will perhapes not go above 100 USD again because Europe has made a strategic decision to turn to clean energy.

[@marchlopez9934]

Russia's central bank has raised interest rates by 3.5% in an attempt to stop the slide of the country's currency, the ruble, which fell to a 17-month low against the dollar. The country is dealing with ballooning deficits as a result of efforts to pay for the Ukraine war and a drop in export revenues. Nevertheless, Russia's economy is still expected to grow, albeit slowly. Sergei Guriev, a Russian economist, stated that the country is finally seeing the effects of the sanctions that were announced a year ago in December and February. The current situation constrains the capacity of the Russian government to finance military spending and also ensure the support for the war. The state's oil and gas revenue has been down which has created a budget deficit. Russia's living standards have improved much more than GDP standards would suggest. Despite sanctions and the withdrawal of Western companies from Russia, Russia's oil price seems to be working and is at an eight-month high. The Kremlin believes that it can afford a long war due to the Russian economy's predicted growth this year, mostly due to military factories working around the clock and critical components arriving from China and other sources.

[@johnrr8854]
