Russia’s GDP trend improves by March amid 0.3% industrial growth — EDB
The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) reports that Russia's GDP declined by 0.3% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, showing a slight improvement from previous months. The report attributes this change to growth in the extractive sector and predicts further improvement in the second quarter due to rising energy prices.
