(VOVWORLD) - Countries of the BRICS economic bloc are currently working on the launch of a financial system that will be independent of the dominance of third parties, according to Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov.
That’s the thing about a war time economy, you produce one tank, and BOOM you’ve added $3.5MM to your GDP. A single SU-35? About 16MM added to GDP.
You can’t eat tanks and jets though, the labor and resources used to maintain a war footing are vast, and must be poached from other areas of the economy. The longer you maintain this posture, the more dramatic the contraction.
Gazprom posted a loss for the first time in decades. They sell one of the most profitable substances ever discovered by man and they still couldn’t turn a profit… despite how little the sanctions are impacting them, no less!
Russia is in for a harsh wakeup when the Ukrainian war ends (or in 2026 if the war is still ongoing IMO). Their economy is “looking good” right now only because it has been switched to a war economy, and the Kremlin injects tons of cash in it, but lots of it isn’t useful for the russians, it’s just getting destroyed in the war.
Also the ruble is close to a dead currency, nobody wants to trade in it any more.
It’s oriented towards the war, but it’s not a total war economy yet because the population wouldn’t tolerate it. It’s similar to the US at war in Vietnam, spending only got up to 8% to 10% of gdp.
🤣 Yeah, good luck with that.
Not sure what this comment means, BRICS has been rising in membership and stability.

Look at Russia’s economic growth in spite of the sanctions.
There’s a world economy outside US control and it is only growing. Where do you think the inflation is coming from?

Turning tanks in a storage base into tanks destroyed in Ukraine is not economic growth, dispite what gdp would indicate.

About 10% of gdp vs 3 to 4% pre war?

You think tanks do contribute, or that Russia is growing into new war unrelated sectors?

Could you give an example of these new sectors? And what is the real gdp growth, taking into account the actual inflation?
Here’s some analysis of Russia’s economic situation https://youtu.be/ecdxs8Al424

Could you link a source for growth in those areas? Especially accounting for real inflation?
I’ve found it’s pretty good matching up with predictions.
