WOOD Flash – Russia macro: trip feedback snapshot
Our recent trip to Russia, where we focused on meetings with the ministries, institutions, business networks, etc., reinforced some of our convictions that macro policy in the country is returning to a pre-pandemic conservative stance at a fast pace. It also highlighted that some ongoing changes in Russian society may lead to fruitful “dividends”, in terms of potential growth in the coming years, thanks to the more dynamic late-millennials/Gen-Z cohorts. We left the country just before the new COVID-19 restrictions were imposed, and we see the current COVID-19 dynamics as a potential risk to growth that, together with the recent moderation in the leading indicators, curbs the prospects of above-4% growth for the year, in our view.
