> Russia’s 2026 and 2027–2029 socio-economic forecast remains moderately conservative, Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov said, although external price conditions may be better than expected. He said non-economic risks, including drone attacks on facilities, could temporarily push growth off its projected path. A balanced three-year budget is expected to curb inflation risks, stabilize interest rates, revive investment and meet social obligations.
