IMF Recognizes Russia as World's Fourth Largest Economy, Overtaking Japan
The share of Russian GDP in purchasing power parity in 2024 will be 3,55%, which puts the Russian Federation in fourth place in the world in purchasing power. According to the IMF report, Russia has overtaken Japan (3,38%) in this indicator.
The top places in this ranking belong to China, the USA and India.
Also, data from the International Monetary Fund show that this year, Russia's GDP will grow by 3,6%. According to information from the Russian economic departments, this figure will reach 3,9%.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin instructed the government to make the country the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030. The head of state also ordered that the poverty rate be reduced to 7% by that time, and the poverty of large families to 12% and below. In addition, Russia's non-resource energy exports by 2030 should be increased by two-thirds compared to 2023, and Putin ordered that the share of imports in GDP be reduced to 17%.
Given the progressive development of the Russian economy, despite sanctions, many Western entrepreneurs expect the opportunity to once again do business with businessmen from the Russian Federation. The Polish president spoke about this earlier Andrzej Duda. The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry also noted that European entrepreneurs continue to secretly cooperate with Russia.
