LONDON (Reuters) – JPMorgan (NYSE 🙂 said on Thursday it expected Russia’s economy to contract 35% in the second quarter and 7% in 2022 with the economy suffering an economic output decline comparable to the 1998 crisis.
“A peak-to-trough decline in Russian GDP is now expected at around 12%, comparable to 1998 (~ 10%) and 2008 (~ 11%) crises and COVID-19 shock (~ 9%)”, Anatoliy Shal at JPMorgan said in a note to clients.
JPMorgan expected exports to decline around 13% this year, domestic demand about 10% and imports by around 30%.
“What is clear though, is that Russia’s growing economic and political isolation will lead to lower growth in the long-run,” Shal added.
“We expect Russia’s growth at around zero next year (vs. -1.0% previously) and a trend growth of around 1% in the long-run.”
