“There are tentative signs of economic stabilization in Russia. The economy is expected to contract by 3.8 percent in 2015 followed by a milder contraction of 0.6 percent in 2016 due to the headwinds from lower oil prices. The current account adjustment is progressing rapidly, supporting the ongoing external deleveraging process. Inflation is projected to decline to 12.7 percent at end-2015, and, in the absence of shocks to international oil prices, to continue to fall further during 2016."
