"The forecast of economic growth for 2018 and 2019 is reduced by 0.1 percentage points - to 1.8% and 1.3%, respectively," the report says.
As specified in the department, a temporary decline in economic growth in 2019 will be due, inter alia, to the "moderately tight monetary policy of the Central Bank."
Earlier, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the department expects a budget surplus of 1.5-2% of GDP.
