“I saw the latest estimates from the Ministry of Economic Development, they look quite adequate, maybe a little more or a little less,” TASS quotes the minister.
According to him, in this case, one should not talk about "tenths", there is a "level of numbers" and "order."
“About 4% decline this year,” he added.
Earlier, the chairman of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina noted that the full return of Russia's GDP to the level of 2019 will occur in the first half of 2022.
