Despite uncertainty in the world economy and sanctions, Russia’s economy is set for a broad-based economic recovery. Policies to boost public spending, notably investment, should contribute. Martin Gilman explored why the Russian authorities have been able to marginalize the impact of the US-instigated sanctions. Gilman underscored how the most recent legal case involving Baring Vostok could have a much more chilling effect on economic prospects.
