The make-up of Russia's outgoing government Subscribe to @SputnikInt
Russian government had hugely successful term
President Vladimir Putin told members of the outgoing government on Monday that Russia’s adversaries had failed to achieve their goals. Putin met with the cabinet, led by PM Mikhail Mishustin, before its customary post-inaugural resignation to sum up the results of its work. Below, Sputnik details the outgoing Russian government’s successful track record.
🔸 Russia's economy outpaced the US and Europe in growth last year. The Federal Service for State Statistics (Rosstat) said it grew by 3.6%, despite being subject to a raft of harsh economic sanctions. That was higher than many economic forecasts.
🔸 Russia became the fifth fastest-growing economy in the Group of 20 in 2023.
🔸 According to the World Bank, Russia is one of five largest global economies in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP).
🔸 The official estimate for Russia's GDP was $4.172 trln at the end of 2023 in PPP terms.
🔸 Federal budget revenues in 2023 exceeded 29 trillion rubles; that was almost 5% more than the same figure for 2022. Execution of federal budget expenditures in 2023 was close to 100% - the best result in recent years.
🔸 Russia's annual inflation rate came in at 7.42% by the end of 2023 (Rosstat).
🔸 The Bank of Russia's profits at the end of 2023 amounted to 140 bln rubles.
🔸 Growth of real disposable income among the Russian population was estimated at 5.4% for 2023.
🔸 The jobless rate in Russia in March 2024 reached a historic low of 2.7%.
🔸 Russian economy is becoming less dependent on commodity exports: in 2023, non-oil and gas revenues increased by a quarter.
🔸 Agricultural advances contributed to food security.
🔸 Economy is transitioning away from Western markets; 77% of Russia's trade is now with friendly countries.
🔸 Volume of Russia’s foreign trade in 2023 amounted to $710 bln; share of Asian countries in the total volume of Russian exports at the end of 2023 was 72%.
🔸 Volume of Russia-China trade reached a record $240.11 billion, an increase of 26.3%, by the end of 2023. Imports from China increased by 46.9%, while exports of Russian products to China also increased by 12.7%.

The XVI European Economic Congress started in Katowice
And this is how Polish farmers greet the participants of the Congress, including the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Farmers spread manure and gave protest speeches at the rally.
In their opinion, following the tenets of the so-called “Green Deal," which is advocated by the EC, leads to the death of agriculture in Poland.
