Session 1: Russian Adaptations

Session 1: Russian Adaptations
Why has the Russian economy outperformed so many forecasts over the last three years? What economic policies has Russia adopted, such as capital controls, the nationalization of foreign assets, and trading in Chinese yuan, to evade and mitigate the impact of international financial and trade measures levied by the West? How has Russia circumvented trade restrictions on Western software and IT services? How are sanctions affecting Belarus and the Eurasian Economic Union? How long can Russia endure the economic effects of sanctions and the invasion of Ukraine, including budget deficit spending and labor market dislocations?
