Description
Summary:The staff report for the 2007 Article IV Consultation highlights the Russian Federation's long-term perspective, economic developments, and macroeconomic policies. Russia's economic growth remains robust. High oil prices and sound fiscal policy underlie Russia's long spell of robust growth.
