The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday improved its 2023 economic growth forecast for Russia by 0.7 percentage points to 2.2% but downgraded its 2024 projection to 1.1%.

"The forecast for Russia is for a rise from –2.1 percent in 2022 to 2.2 percent in 2023, with an upward revision of 0.7 percentage point for 2023," the IMF said in its World Economic Outlook (WEO) report.

In 2024, the IMF expects the Russian economy to expand by 1.1%, 0.2 percentage points down from April's forecast.
