Central Bank economic growth expectations for the next three years are lower than the government's forecasts, according to a document produced by the financial regulator.
Gross domestic product growth will be 2 percent next year, 2.5 percent in 2015 and 3 percent in 2016 in the bank's base scenario, used to set monetary policy for the oil-driven economy.
The government's forecasts, issued in September, are for growth of 3.0 percent next year, 3.1 percent in 2015 and 3.3 percent in 2016. On Thursday, the Economic Development Ministry said Russian GDP will lag global growth for the next two decades.
"The effectiveness of private and public investment is expected to remain low," the Central Bank document, issued Saturday, said.
Net exports will remain weak and demand for imported goods will stay strong, it said.
Domestic demand, which the World Bank estimates contributes 48 percent of Russia's GDP output, will continue to be the main driver of growth, the bank said.
It estimates that consumer spending will increase by 4 percent this year and 4.4 percent annually from 2014 to 2016.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
