Russia’s gross domestic product sharply increased by 4.9% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2023, recovering from a 1.8% contraction in the previous period and aligned with the preliminary estimate. Notably, it marks Russia's first GDP expansion since the first quarter of 2022, when the nation's invasion of Ukraine led to international sanctions. The expansion is seen as a positive sign by the Central Bank of Russia, indicating a recovery in domestic demand and foreign trade from the shocks of Western sanctions, strengthening the case for interest rate hikes. The sectors contributing to GDP growth include agriculture, forestry, hunting, and fishing (4%), manufacturing industries (10.6%), construction (11.7%), wholesale and retail (11%), hotels and restaurants (15.2%) and activities in the field of information and communication (3.5%). On the other hand, the economy contracted for health and social services (-3.2%) and water supply, sewerage, and wastewater disposal (-1.7%). source: Federal State Statistics Service
