The IMF spoke about the consequences of a possible complete cessation of gas supplies from Russia

He made the corresponding statement at a press conference at the autumn session of the governing bodies of the IMF and the World Bank.

“The complete cessation of the remaining gas flows from Russia to Europe, combined with a cold winter, could lead to a shortage and rationing of gas consumption, which would entail GDP losses of up to 3% in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe and another jump in inflation throughout the continent,” — TASS quotes him.

Earlier, Aleksey Belogoriev, Deputy Director for Energy at the Institute of Energy and Finance, in an interview with Economics Today noted that relations between countries and companies in the energy and gas sector are of a strategic nature.
